I planned to write about the toxicity of body positivity and the negative social journey of gaining weight and losing weight. However, outlining the idea in my head Saturday afternoon leaving (my favorite place in the world) Mission Gardens, a stray dog was walking along the road. Usually, I don’t stop for strays; however, I … Continue reading Stray Days

The Unhinged Beast – Conclusion
Now that I’m finally out of my own head and ready to blog the way blogging is supposed to be done… I want to conclude The Unhinged Beast as part of my blog. I’ll be holding back details from my childhood until I can collaborate with those I’ve mentioned. It’s hard to foster understanding when … Continue reading The Unhinged Beast – Conclusion
Unperfect
I'm literally sitting here, about to cry. Cry because I forgot that yesterday was the 3rd Saturday of the month and that I needed to get my ass to the garden. I've been stuck in my head and feeling so alone and isolated with no one with whom I've felt comfortable enough to share these … Continue reading Unperfect
The Unhinged Beast – Origins III
As I mentioned in part one, these memories happened around the time I started kindergarten or first grade. I was about five or six years old; Hemako (means: one) and I used to play at a park across the street from the house where we (sometimes) lived with Nisi-ohg (means: my real father). This is … Continue reading The Unhinged Beast – Origins III
The Unhinged Beast – Origins II

However, violence is not out of the question for me either; I had a violent childhood. As a child, I had violence … Continue reading The Unhinged Beast – Origins II

I have finally recognized the "perfection is the enemy of good" messages Co-Star as been telling me... Below is the beginning of another personal essay on the origins of the various characters that make me … Continue reading The Unhinged Beast – Origins I

Healing Pain
I keep reflecting on my experiences with pain since having had these Ketamine infusions and the clarity that comes afterward. It’s like my introspective abilities increase twofold. I’ve likely had an extremely high tolerance to physical pain before I was injured, thanks to physical abuse and trauma in childhood. This was realized after the night … Continue reading Healing Pain
Help me slay dragons
I had to ask my therapist if she thought a donations page was appropriate because I was unsure if I deserved to receive help. I will dive into this more down the road. The LSS is that I have difficulty asking for help due to trauma. I have to be at rock bottom before I … Continue reading Help me slay dragons
The Gladiator Conquers Walls
By Me 7/2022A heart of guarded partitions Veiled cracks and fissuresYour love’s tumultuous soundJericho’s walls crumbled downFlaws revealed, naked, exposedHumbled by your light; you freedUnconditional once a dreamReality unzipped seamsFinding strength in fragilityThese words peace in sincerity
