Haunted Memories
I live in a town filled with ghosts. Constant visual representations of the past haunt me daily. A tiny town filled with too much history I can’t seem to escape. When I look out the window directly across the street sits a small old house, where the first man I ever loved lived years ago. […]
Negativity
Negativity I’m guilty of letting myself go THERE. Actually, if I’m really honest with myself I pretty much stay there… I kind of live in this negative headspace. –I am predisposed to it. –It’s what comes naturally. –I was raised by doomsday pessimistic people. It is in my DNA. Maybe back in the day, it […]
60% Defeat with a Dash of God Mixed In

She loved beautiful weather, beautiful music, and beautiful scenery. She would go on and on about it. Going outside was the way she broke […]

I Don’t Want to Talk About COVID-19
I never wanted to write about COVID-19. I typically let my heart, feelings, and God inspire my writing topics.And although I’m not proud to admit this…I’m honestly petrified of COVID.I have a phobia of all viruses, disease, and sickness. I’ve written about it before and how it is a huge trigger to my anxiety. Every […]
