    More than a sorrowful soul

    I have found the focus on moments to be a positive practice. Much has gone unconsidered and ignored. I hope to live a life free from these events, but I also selfishly can’t allow them to go completely untold. They need to become something. Have been for something. Some punishment.

    In loving memory

    As my cue was called, I made my way out of the pew. In a cold, nearly empty church, we’d never attended as a family. One my mother became obsessed with in her final years. I regretted wearing healed shoes as I stepped across the marble floor, the echo making it ever more clear how… Read more

    the document of my survival.

    I have vetted the chain of events in my life. Attempting to find a solution. A way to break the pattern. I don’t wish to live my life only outing to the fearful outside from the safety of my lockbox on wheels. Only doing things when accompanied. I want to feel safe alone. Outside my… Read more
