I am far better

Yesterday, I talked to my coworker who I used to work with at the union. As expected, it was a conversation mostly dominated by the horrible people who were and are still there. I hate regurgitation these things, but yesterday, something interesting happened…

It must be summer

It must be summer. I’m thinking of my mom and turning that whole thing around in my brain again. Summer has become one of those times of years that has become increasingly triggering for me.

Can we please?

I witnesses a bullying incident at a local fast food place, that supposedly makes sandwiches to benefit firefighters, in the town I work in this week. I could tell it was something that was happening on several levels, whether it was blatant and transparent, to subtle aggression

People aren’t strong because they want to be

I am currently listening to a podcast called “A Little Bit Culty” because honestly, I love hearing about cults. Cult things to me are like true crime to others. I can’t get enough. I’m constantly fascinated by them and have been for as long as I can remember.

To Better Friends

Have you ever just written someone off? Like, a longtime friend that you’ve talked to for a long time, and then you wake up and realize, “Wow…The only person we talk about is you.

One of the most wild things that I have been increasingly becoming aware of is the excessive xenophobia of our growers, not just in the US, but world wide.

The Lasting Effects of Bullies

I woke up Saturday morning, feeling angry at someone who has not been a relevant part of my life since 2018. I hate it when something from my past comes and invokes all the old feelings I had back then. It says to me that I haven’t allowed myself to close that chapter in my life and I really need to because there won’t be any secure form of closure.
