Embarrassment
From I Do to I'm Done
Why, oh why am I here? What twisted cosmic joke led me down this rabbit hole? Let's rewind a bit, back to the crux of the absurdity that is my life. Picture this: midlife, mid-marriage, mid-crisis. A classic tale of romance gone awry. But no, not just any romance, mind you. I'm talking about getting hitched to none other than my ex. Yes, you heard me right. The same guy who thought it was a brilliant idea to chase his dreams in a different hemisphere while leaving me to juggle diapers and dreams on my own. Ah, yes, the good old days of maternal multitasking.

Confessions of an Angry Woman
Do you ever feel as if you constantly draw the short straw? If so, then welcome to my life.... Let me start by saying I am well aware of my overall position in life. That what I am about to describe could be considered "first world problems". That what I do have is more than some other people out there. But that doesn't mean I have to like it or that life isn't a struggle. Life struggles look different for everyone - this is what is looks like for me....

Carnalized Onion. Top Story - August 2023. Content Warning.
This tale was written because of a spelling error during my interview with Heather Hubler, who decided it was best to leave it in the final draft. She in fact pointed it out to the readers. Was it funny that she left it in …yes. But I have received one too many smart-ass retorts to let it go on any further. Whilst trying to work on my writings, and complete my first novel, more than a few friends found the interview, and left me some provocative messages and colorful images.

Miracle or Mistake?
I was in the fifth grade when life decided to hurl two more curveballs at me, back-to-back. At eleven years old, I received my first visit from the "Red Queen." Navigating something that not many of my classmates were experiencing made me feel even more like an outsider. The feelings cemented when I had to have my dad bring a change of clothes and pads for me one day due to an accident I had. I was still new to it, but I felt embarrassment all the same. Around the same time, I experienced something else none of my classmates had. I was in constant pain, crying often from my joints aching all over. My parents took me to a doctor, and after running multiple tests, we were told my diagnosis was JRA (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis). I had to miss at least two weeks of school while my parents and I had to travel to a nearby state to receive the care I needed, as none of the institutions around us were equipped to do so. My parents had to carry me often and help me around the house, as the pain was so much that it took everything to bring myself to an upright position. Returning to school would prove to be a challenge, as well. I was now seen differently by classmates and teachers, too. As I returned to one of my classes, I was met with a shocking hostility. The day before I returned, the class had been disruptive. As a result, the next day when I had come back, the teacher decided to dole out the punishment she felt was necessary: writing sentences. I did not feel I should have been subjected to the punishment, as I had not even been there. My teacher, however, disagreed. She stood over me and would not leave my desk until I wrote the sentences, too. Now, I know most people would see it as nothing, just writing the same words over and over an exact number of times. For me, though, it was excruciating. I was in tremendous pain daily, especially when my joints became overworked. I was still forced to sit and write over and over, my fingers curling into a claw, tears streaming down my face, as she watched. She said I did not get a pass just because of my diagnosis.

The Melody of Life: A Dancer Jumping Between Disappointment and Hope
We must embrace limited disappointment, but we must not lose endless hope. This quote comes from Martin Luther King, Jr. The motto, in other words, is that although we have to deal with some finite frustrations, we must not lose faith in infinite hope. Well, it's like, sometimes we hit a little bump in the road, but don't forget that there are countless stars twinkling in the sky.

My Journey from Baldness to Beauty
I never thought I would lose my hair. I had always been proud of my long, shiny, and healthy locks. I used to get compliments from strangers and envy from my friends. I loved styling my hair in different ways and experimenting with different colors and accessories.
