Hope Floats Eternal
I survived in Cleveland, Ohio with only my wits about me. When your down on your luck the only things to think about is the tears that bring us sorrow. In the meantime I am unable to think of such things as crying and carrying on.

After Everything
After four days in Cleveland at Norma Herr I didn't think that I had it in me to keep fighting. Now, I feel like now I can handle anything mostly because my brain hurts and I'm exhausted. I'm getting the divorce I always wanted from Shane Aurelien. I knew on some level the marriage wasn't going to last. He was to controlling for my taste. I'm happier now, with Chris. I didn't think it was possible to be that happy. No one will ruin that for me.

I AM DONE!!!
Never judge a book by it's cover. Reading the art of war is essential to survive the world. Just because something may look good on the outside doesn't mean it is good for you in the inside. I feel like everything constantly piles up. I'm tired of waiting for people I will get out of shit myself. This is the very definitely the glass is only half full.

All of the Stigmas Society Ignores in Hicktown
The stigma of homeless is very sad, almost devastating. A friend once told me, we all assume roles it's whether we agree to those roles or not. Mike was right though. I'm going to be sad to admit this, but I never thought being homeless in Hicktown would be this stimgaticly bad.

Rising Up Against Our Oppressors
Huntington, WV,. circa 1996, verses present day. Not really different, honestly. Bigots, oppression, aren't, hidden in hick-town. They say the truth will set you free, know one, knew that it depends who it comes from. I love West Virginia for two reasons: One, it does take a person long to share their true colours. Two, I love how huntington is wrapped around the Appalachian Mountains. It's like a mount wrapped around a castle so to speak.

When The Pain Is Unescapable . Content Warning.
The journey in trying to move forward from the pain of the darkness hasn't been easy. I'm in love with the south how easy it is here. I don't want to recall my terrible memories; don't want to be remember them.I just want to wash my hands of the past, so I can flourish in the light. The hurt I experienced for one year. I just want to reinvent myself. What no one understands I don't want to be reminded. I say, I don't want to be reminded, yet this is wrong respected.

I Dropped Out This Semester!
Walking away from a dream can be difficult, despite good intentions. It's important to recognize when it's not worth fighting and step back. Have you ever noticed that when you kill one month, six or seven more appear? Have you ever observed how toxic people tend to come together like a pack of wolves?
