Disillusionment is what happens when the story you’ve been living by starts to crack. At first, the crack may be small, a comment, a betrayal, a silence, a result you didn’t expect. Still, most beautiful lies don’t feel ugly when we’re inside them. They feel warm. They feel protective. And, they tell us a person…

Self-love is not being selfish, but loving the person you have become. I hated myself and the life I was dealt with by having mental illnesses. I did have a promising career being a massage therapist, but that was stripped away with anxiety and panic attacks. I’m typing this as I house sit for my…

Defiant against rapidly losing my memory and thought process. What would you do, have sanity, or lose your thought process. I’m on a med that is rapidly ravaging my brain, and won’t stop until I’m a vegetable. On the other hand, it is keeping me from having delusions. The question, would I rather be sane…

Peacefully is not the word most people reach for when they talk about grief. More often, grief feels heavy, uneven, and personal in a way few things are. You may even ask, what does peaceful mean when your chest still aches and your life no longer fits the way it used to? In grief, peaceful…

Vexation is easy to shrug off when it’s small. A rude comment. A long line. The email that lands at the worst moment. But when that feeling keeps returning, it stops being a passing annoyance and starts collecting weight. Then something shifts. You don’t only feel bothered, you feel worn thin. Your patience shortens. Your…

Failure was the word I reached for when life felt too heavy to hold. It sounded harsh, final, and a little cruel. I didn’t want to touch it, let alone walk through it. And yet, some of the hardest moments in life begin there. What feels like the end can become the first honest step…

Heartache is that heavy, aching feeling that settles in when someone or something important is gone. It sounds emotional, and it is, but it can also feel physical, like pressure in your chest, a knot in your stomach, or a body that suddenly forgets how to rest. If you’ve ever thought, “Why can’t I stop…

Fascination is that pull you feel when something holds you still, opens your eyes, and asks for your full attention. In a broken world, that can seem almost out of place. Stress stacks up, grief settles in, and the news keeps arriving like a storm that forgot how to move on. And yet, fascination isn’t…

Grumpiness can feel small, almost silly, until it starts coloring the whole day. You wake up tired, the phone is already buzzing, the sink is full, the news is loud, and suddenly even a slow driver feels personal. If that sounds familiar, you’re not broken. You’re living in a time that rarely lets your mind…

Being forgetful and not knowing the reason why is killing me. I think of something or someone, and the next minute it’s gone. It’s very frustrating to run into someone you know, but can’t place who they are. That happened to me in Walmart. We crossed paths, she said hi, but I couldn’t place where…
