humanity

For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.

Dear Days
Day 0 Today is going well. Helped my dear friend get ready to move across the states! I feel more prepared to say goodbye now than I was two months ago. I always miss her. I pray she lives the most beautiful of adventures! Knowing she's also nervous, I feel it, I hug her and we know it'll be a wondrous year.

Are you a Baddie?
The Truth is you will never find a Baddie on rodeo drive shopping... I use to wear alot of black. I had alot of clothes of all different colors and designs. But for some reason I would always chose the black shirts and pants. Simply because the colors I had just didn't match right. Some were faded cause I washed it alot because I was the type of person who thought a shirt was dirty just because you put it on. Even though I looked in the mirror with it on and took it off immediatly after.

Hiding Behind A Mask
Life is supposed to be full of surprises. New experiences. But nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to people. Some people are so hypocritical. The very thing that they are judging someone for is the same thing that they have done in the past or may even be doing right now. What do I mean? I’ll tell you. You have people that put on this mask as I call it. They put on a mask (hiding the real them) and then take it off (being who they really are).

Of Thieves and Fear
I had felt fear before, of course. It is a normal response when one uproots from the home they knew and move to an area they have never been to. But this was a new, different fear. I stared at the dresser and the dust outline. Someone had been in my apartment, someone stole my television and my DVD player.

Levitation & Light - Human Body
As a small child, I would dream of a strange object. It looked like, it could've been my heart, bursting with a rainbow. It'd pulsate, and the pulsating, the rhythm of the signal flowing over its form, would smooth itself out into a continuous sound. I'd wake up, a small child, swearing I'd seen everything, as it faded off of me in a matter of seconds.

So You're A Racist Now MikeyDred
So You're A Racist Now Mikey Dred is the title of this piece and came about when I was discussing toxic environments with Karin Venables , and I thought of the Father Ted episode where Ted Crilley is being a little racist (it was the point of the episode) which appeared in "Are You Right There Father Ted?" , the first episode of the third series , and also the first episode that was screened after Dermot Morgan died.

How Do I Deal With Men Who Are Threatening Women?
Today, something disturbing happened while driving. I stopped at a stop light. A guy with a squeegee came and attempted to start "cleaning" my windshield. The reason I put "cleaning" in quotes is because the window often comes out dirtier than how it started when these guys "clean" it. So, I told the guy no. I didn't want him to do it. I really dislike it when people do that. They don't ask permission, they just start doing it. I find it terribly...problematic.

Your 20’s Are For Crying
For those of you who have been waiting, I am sorry. I would like to start off chapters 20 with a massive thank you. These chapters have been prolonged for around eight weeks, due to my own insecurities, the pressure that comes from this human experience, and imposter syndrome that creeps into my bones the moment it senses confidence.

Renaissance Festival War Stories Sept 25/26, 2021
It's the sixth weekend of the festival season. I am getting tired. My voice was strained badly leading into this week. I had to explain to my callers that I had laryngitis again and again. It's embarrassing, and I am not easily embarrassed. I was ill (in a non-contagious way) on Thursday and Friday and had terrible sleep before the weekend and was worried about being my best for the weekend. No, not even my best, just exist for the weekend. As tired as I am, as much as I am missing my husband, who doesn't work or play at the festival, it would still break my heart to miss out on it due to illness.

LEO
If your birthday falls between July 23 to August 22, you are considered a Leo and especially if you had a head full of mane and were roaring when you were born—a long tail with a tuft of hair at the end would be a sure sign also.

The Beautiful Blip
Jack was the first to go. And if we’re staying on the simpler side, Amy was next, then Stephen, Zeke, Seth, Sonny, and Justine. But Jack was the first of our year. The first one to die.

Do You Know Your Own Toxic Trait?
Is it just me, or does everyone dislike that interview question about your strengths and weaknesses? For many, myself included, it is a hard question to answer, especially when my main strength is also my main weakness. More on that later.
