My name is Crystalline, and I have always felt a strong connection with words. I've always felt that the power behind any spoken word, is limitless.

The Dust Settled
The scent of leather office furniture. The chipper chatter of friendly colleagues as they greet one another. The sound of the elevator dings and chimes just outside the lobby doors. There's a tv on, somewhere nearby. A quick scan of the main reception area soon reveals the window of the lies being depicted. It's a happy reality show depicting the experience of a handful of women and their beautiful weddings. Happy reality.... no such thing. We were supposed to get married, in a hot air baloon over the stunning beauty that is the Grand Canyon.

Battered Woman
There's a chill outside. This is the time of year that the snow-birds begin migrating back to their northern homes. When we're enjoying 9 solid hours of "Valley of the Sun" sunlight and the temperature stays within the 69-76 degree fahrenheit range. Also the time of year that spring love begins to sprout. Valentine's Day gift ideas flood the media waves and street corners. As beautiful as this time of year is, I'm overwhelmed with a mixture of emotions and memories. In my 37 years on this planet, this is hands down the worst Valentine's Day ever.
