Deep Dark Secrets
I am going to share my families deepest darkest secret with you. I doubt that my family is alone in keeping secrets. I know I probably have not told my kids the absolute truth about some parts of my history. I suppose there are varying levels of keeping secrets. Some things are probably none of your kids business, those are not secrets just things you keep to yourself. This secret is not like that. I think it might have been my right to know the information all along, and knowing it may have made a difference in my life.

The Red Pill Blues
Transitioning from unshakable belief to total skepticism, and from firm convictions to practical realism, I am a millennial who swallowed the red pill, only to discover a longing for an “Unsee” button. As a millennial grappling with an identity crisis, I spent most of my adult years torn between defining myself exclusively through the lens of my faith at one end of the spectrum, and striving to be a global citizen without the constraints of labels at the other end. After two years of research, dialogue, and critical analysis, paired with the media’s relentless efforts to expose the dark and often violent aspects of various religious texts (and history), I find myself confronted with a faltering faith. The shift from faith to skepticism, whether perceived as enlightenment or ingratitude, is a tantalizing process that requires a thorough reevaluation — and often, an overhaul — of one’s worldview. In a nutshell, it weakens our primary coping mechanism for handling the really bad lemons that life throws our way every once in a while.

Plates of Snow
I sat on the floor, next to the bed and in front of the nightstand staring at the off-white oval plate in front of me. My first thought had been - what a slob. I had been cleaning out my husband’s nightstand so that our 9-year- old son could use it. He wouldn’t need it anymore, thinking about my estranged husbands’ “new” apartment down the street. It was one of those that looked okay on the outside as you drive by at 35 mph but if you look just a little closer you see the rust on the rails, yellowness of the blinds and the baby roach indicating infestation in the corner. In the process I found the plate. My brain, practiced in ignoring the obvious, thought it might be the remnant of a late night snack. And then I saw the razor. And the straw.
