Books, Bookstores and My Last Braincell
The losing arguments of a bookaholic . . I can trace back my addiction to books back the very beginning, in fact all the way to the fifth grade. I wasn’t an extrovert; you abandon me on an island, and it’d probably take me two to three days to realize that you have left me […]
Positivity and Perception
Reinforcement strategies of the insane. Alright fair warning, none of this is something I’d recommend anyone to apply, mostly because I have been told many times over that I have no emotional management whatsoever. But hey, I can’t be the absolute worst at this? So, how to remain positive? On any given day we face […]
The Toxic Teacup: We Should All Just Learn To Say No
Friends, Family Feuds, and Poor Decision Making . . . Time to spill the tea! We all want approval, and it’s ok. The problem is when we begin to cross the gray areas while doing so. I am not shy to admit that my need for approval and acceptance has led me well past those […]
Body Issues and Mental Melodramas
Time to juggle emotions and whatnot . . . “This is going to be easy.” Famous last words, I guess. Emotions are not the easiest thing to put into words, there’s a lot that escapes between the lines and hides between letters. I was racking my brain about what I’d write this week, mostly because, […]
3 Books That Sing
I blame my friend for this article. I am not one for writing much about book recommendations, mostly because I feel everyone’s taste varies and I worry about people squinting at my sophisticated – hides cringey romance novels – bookshelf in despair. I am a picky reader. My friend will throw book recommendation after book […]
Of Lost Dreams
We can be a princess, We can be a queen, We can be everything in between. We will slay dragons, Fight with kings, Win battles and wear pretty things. Dreams by the dozen we carry, Fields of wildflowers and trees of cherry. Dancing and twirling amongst the stars, Sliding down rainbows, Driving shiny cars. […]
Friends and Enemies
Welcome to the lonely zone. Having friends is like growing plants. It requires love, care, attention and occasionally pouring water. In the end you enjoy the fruits of your labor. But this is where the similarities end, because then comes the scary part, keeping friends. This is where I struggle. I am not the best […]
To Feel
It’s easy to sink, rather than swim. The words pull me under. I keep moving adrift, my mind torn asunder. The water consumes, hungry and starved. Nothing left behind. I pushed you away, kept you safe. Yet you say, there’s no love in my eye. The waves crashed, a thunderous roar. My words lost to […]
Conversational Conundrums
There is no method to this madness. Talking is taxing enough on its’ own but having conversations is hard, mostly because there are so many unspoken rules to it and none that we are familiar with. For me it’s always a little tricky to navigate the conversational channels, mostly because I end up tipping over […]
Powerful Words
The greatest power lays within words, In tales left untold and stories never heard. Between pages yellowed and unread we can find, Souls of those left behind. Letter by letter thoughts penned down, Tales, poems, souls, and stories all paper bound. I keep moving within the pages, Walking, adrift, happy, and lost. The journey […]
