Bio
I am a person that has a lot on her mind. I am in my 30's and love that there is a platform like this where I can share my passion for writing, which is something that I have been doing since my childhood.

2016
2016 was a year of emotions. It was not the best. There was loss beyond comprehension and sadness that still lingers. November is the month people take the time to say what they are grateful for; this is great. It gives inspiration and happiness to many but in 2016, that didn't seem to be the case. So many times I saw these memes talking about how horrible the year was, and no matter how accurate this may be, I did not share them because even though it was not the best year for me, I have a few things that I don't want to forget about from that year. I saw happiness in friendly gatherings to celebrate life and death, and I witnessed friends begin mother and fatherhood.

How Do You
Have you noticed that when you feel the most vulnerable, you also are the most scrutinized? To be sad is to be bitchy, to be hurt is to be rude, to be anxious is to be crazy. They say that clouds have silver linings but what if you feel like a werewolf in the clouds? Having anxiety seemingly makes you a human target for judgment and they do say perception is reality, so if in reality you are a human target, how do you deflect the emotional bullets fired from the mouths of people who matter and even worse the ones that don't? When the truth and the false seem to intertwine with one another how do you untangle something that seems to be held together by steel? Do you use every bit of strength to pry them apart or do you fall into the empty hole where you think your heart is? How do you rise up over the looming shadow that is no longer on the ground, the one that has leapt up detached from your feet threatening your very existence, leaving you cowering in a space that you think is a corner but in actuality is your mind? How do you make your mind as open as the heart that used to be in your chest, the one that use to ache for acceptance, and scream for acknowledgement? You see the heart and the mind do not always agree, but the mind is so powerful that it can extinguish the fire in the heart with nothing more than a soft blow. So how do you........

We Are Alive Too!
To the people that do not understand. When a person is suffering from a condition such as an autoimmune disorder, it is easy to label them as lazy. Laziness is defined as; disinclined to activity or exertion: not energetic or vigorous. Well as you can see this would be the correct label except we are not disinclined, we want to go places and have fun and even go to work on a regular basis (for those who can not). Basically, we are stuck in a body that refuses to work, all your energy is put into moving your body and not at a pace that is considered anywhere near fast. Morning activities wear you down, believe it or not, for a man or woman that has one of the many autoimmune disorders out there, just taking a shower can make you fatigued and uncoordinated. Simple tasks like laundry, dishes, walking the dog, and making a bed sometimes seem like you are Sisyphus, always pushing that boulder up hill and never making progress, but instead of being bound to hell, we are bound to a broken body.
