Humanity
Chrysalis
The year is 1991 and I live in Kununurra with my husband. Unfortunately, marriage does not suit either of us. We tend to live our own lives, while residing under the same roof, with the exception of when he would get drunk. Then he would take me on an extremely abusive, physically and emotionally, wild roller coaster ride.

Holidays
In December, the weather held out. No big storms. A light dusting of snowfall, gone the next day. I love it here. I am a warm weather person, born in a cold weather country. As one so chronically cold, I'm looking forward to the hot flashes of menopause. Bring on the heat!

Why People Pay Me to Not Bother Them While They Drink Coffee
Why I Charge People to Get Coffee With Me Recently, a startup founder punched me in the face and asked if I wouldn’t mind backing the fuck up and not talking to him while he was trying to enjoy his morning coffee in peace? I was a dickhead in his personal space he explained, and he’d love to continue using my face for punching bag if I kept bothering him.

SUA
Recently I had a friend request from my mate Harry Clark in Preston on Facebook. He is just getting that hang of things and eventually I got my phone number to him and yesterday we spoke for the first time , and spent forty five minutes chatting about a lot of things. I had mentioned him in a previous post “S’cooldays” which you can see here.

Foggy Waters
I heard my voice sing it was the first time hearing myself sing. It sounded amazingly beautiful in so much power. It was so professional and developed really strong and I was singing to the song wicked game by daisy gray, but this time my voice sounded like it was catching up to her level. Like I can sing this by myself for a cover too or to another song. I could sing. Maybe I can sing my own writings.

Anxiety Ridden... Or Maybe Just Dramatic?
You'll probably read the word 'worry' so many times you'll forget what it means by the end of this. I worry a lot actually. I worry about everything. Big things, small things, things that are out of my control, things that are in my control. Being stressed out from worrying has become a HUGE part of my life -- it's routine. At this point, if I'm not stressed out about something by the end of the day I always feel weird. Like I'm missing something or like my day is about to be ruined because I left something important at home. Great! so now I'm worried about not being worried, which is only gonna make me worry more because I'm not worrying. Crazy right?

Long Distance Calls Used to Be Expensive, Now It's Only People in Hospitals & Jails Being Ripped Off
I was driving recently and I heard the old Madonna song “La Isla Bonita” on the radio. The song, as many do, immediately triggered a memory from when I was younger. As I sang along with the radio, I could hear my Grandpa’s voice as clear as if he were in the car with me.

Your Road of Lies
I want to be a writer and that's something that I have always wanted to do. It hasn't changed and it won't. Roughly, a year and a half ago, my sister in law decided she was going to write a book. Why? Because she had wrote something for some class she was taking and the teacher complimented her and what not... take into affect that she was 40 when this happened so she really should know how to write a decent paper. So, she's going to write a book.

Goodbye To All My Vocal Friends
Sorry for the clickbait heading , but thought it may catch someone’s eye. No I am not leaving you but I have a nasty demon that tells me when people don’t talk with me , the reason is that they find me boring , obnoxious, or just don’t even notice me. It tells me to leave the groups and completely remove myself from you , unfriend my closest and most loving and supportive contacts and effectively lead myself in limbo.

On Krav Maga and Fearing the Wrong Things
Author's preface: I first published this piece way back in 2018. Since it does not meet the Vocal 600 word count minimum rule I am adding this preface at the beginning to provide filler material. Typically I do this at the end of one of my many stories that do not meet the 600 word count minimum. I decided to mix things up for this story just because I love wasting my time writing filler material so much that I wanted to make sure everybody who wanted to would have the chance to read it and not click away after seeing "THE END" and not reading the subsequent filler material. And there you have it. What was once a 554 word story that did not meet the word count minimum is now a 600+ word count story that does. What a great use of mine and my reader's time wouldn't you say? Enjoy the story..
