I’ve had this health condition that I’ve been living with for 20+ years now, costochondritis, or so I thought. Technically it should have gone away a long time ago but it hasn’t. It feels like someone stabbing you with a knife through the chest and twisting it over and over again. Normally it would pop up out of nowhere for like a day or two … Continue reading being sick all the time
In all my past relationships, I was always the one to like the other person more than they liked me. I was always the one making the plans to go somewhere or do something. I was always the one looking forward to the next time I saw them. In all those years, not once did I ever feel wanted or needed. In all my relationships, … Continue reading Wanted
My mom and I go on dates maybe once a month and we’ve been doing this since my real parents divorced. I’m always the stand in when she doesn’t have a significant other to cling on to. At some point after she and my stepdad divorced, she started dating. Since I’ve been in the dating scene for quite some time now, she turns to me … Continue reading My mom’s boyfriend
Dear ____________, You were the love of my life. I don’t think I can ever love someone again the way that I loved you. Everything about our relationship was everything I had ever imagined I would have in a relationship. You took care of me. You truly cared for me, I think, but you really did take care of me. The things you did for … Continue reading Closure
During my early 20’s and even early 30’s I was still skinny and weighed about 130 pounds. I fit into everything nicely and I wasn’t as conscious about my body as I am now. I still cared about what I wore, nice, classy, dressed appropriately to whatever occasion I went to. When I started taking meds in 2016, one of the side effects of nearly … Continue reading Self Image
I love living alone. I love my freedom, my space, my independence but sometimes I wish I lived with someone. Not necessarily a significant other, maybe just a roommate or something like that to help with the day to day responsibilities? Or what if they have something like hire a caregiver on the spot just for a day or two or as long as needed? … Continue reading sometimes I just need a break
I forgot my morning meds at home so I had to leave work to go get them. I don’t know if it is the thought of missing the dose or not taking them on time that throws me off, but it definitely did its damage. I felt like I was crying all day yesterday and I feel that way today too. The only good thing … Continue reading I didn’t take my meds on time
I’ve been wanting to get back into yoga for a while now and thanks to this app called Asana Rebel, I can. It’s a pretty cool app, at least I think so. It reminds you to drink 16 ounces of water every morning after you wake up. It has a daily quiz on different sorts of things like what pose is this or which fruit … Continue reading the challenge
Everyone I know is either married with kids or has a significant other. I’m the only one who is actually “single.” When I’m in a group setting, the conversation revolves around their family life and there is nothing I can relate to because I really can’t relate to anything they talk about. As far as kids go, my kids are my two cats and my … Continue reading Singled Out
I’m not a complicated person, I’m not high maintenance either. I’m actually a very simple person. I like to enjoy the little things in life. I live in a one bedroom apartment that I love with a pool that is steps away from my door that I’ve only used maybe twice in the eight years that I’ve lived there. My carpet needs to be changed … Continue reading the simple life
