Anti-Social/Anxiety
Poetry that will remind you it can't get any worse.
Secretly sweating from my palms on the thought of starting college. The empty stomached feeling I get in a busy subway line. The most fear of all is the expectations to stand in front of a large crowd and preform to the highest of standards. What is life, when you're constantly being stopped by your own emotions. Failure is a curse upon mankind and somehow failure is walking straight towards me on any given day. Just when I feel its time to give up, it never goes as planned. Hitting the bottom means there is no where else to go except up, and the rainy days begin to brighten.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
