Sensitive child in a harsh world
Although I can’t recall when it was, I vividly remember, as a kid, thinking that I was somehow different. I don’t recall what prompted it, but I vividly remember having a preoccupation with “normal” – and how I compared against my perception of what that was. Through my childhood pondering, and in an effort to…

Whose responsibility is it, anyway?
At times, I admit that my clarity in certain situations can become blurred. While there are many instances where I can notice my involvement – arguably, there are probably just as many where I remain oblivious. This post was actually cut and copied, as I got off track on a previous post – the one…

Blame Game
Writing and sharing my personal journey has been both a powerful and inspiring conquest. I find that I am able to heal, through the unapologetic recall of events of my life.

Wait, really… Until this point,…

Pinpointing vulnerability
It is only now that I am taking, some of, the necessary steps to overcome my natural tendencies…that my innate methods of execution have emerged, from the depths of my unconscious – and become clear to me. I can now admit to myself, a lifelong habit of circumventing areas of discomfort. Since beginning my self-discovery…

Who does that!
What kind of attention seeking person, views themselves as so important, that they feel the need to write a personal blog! Who would even do that? Why do they think anyone would care? And using their real name, WTF! Yep, that would be me – and these were my opinions on self-promotion. For me, writing…
