  6. I Thought I Was Shopping at Dior. I Was Really Looking for Baby Lux.

    From the outside, it looked like a family enjoying a beautiful afternoon at Diorโ€”champagne, chocolates, laughter, and a husband buying his wife a ring. But what no one could see was everything that was happening inside me. I thought I was shopping for jewelry. Looking back, I realize I was searching for something far deeper.

  8. We Live In The Shadowlands

    Shadow Carress, Rolling Ridge

    Several years ago, I watched Shadowlands and was deeply touched. The movie tells the true story of the author C.S. Lewis (Jack), who though an award-winning author, leads a relatively passionless life until he meets an American divorcee, Joy Gresham. It is the beginning of a deep love, a love that changes both of them in a powerful way, and deepens their faith in God. But their time together is short as Joy becomes terminally ill with cancer.

    Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night afraid that something horrible has happened to someone that I love. So I pray for everyone I can think of. I reach my hand over and draw comfort from the warmth and breath of my wife who still sleeps beside me. Slowly my fear ebbs away because for another night the Angel of Death has passed over the doors of those who are closest to me. (Though I do not think it has very much to do with my prayers).

    I want to pray as hard for everyone in the world as I pray for my family and friends. The Angel of Death does not always pass over. I do not want to live my life in fear. I do not want to be afraid of the pain that comes with being close to people and thereby miss the happiness that comes from their presence.

    In the movie, Joy, in pushing Jack to be present to ALL of life, states: โ€œWe canโ€™t have the happiness of yesterday without the pain of today. Thatโ€™s the deal.โ€

    We live in the Shadowlands, between the sunrise and sunset. But the sun is always present and as long as I cast a shadow, it means that I am alive. Alive to live and love and care and hurt to the fullest of my being.

    Thatโ€™s the deal.

  12. No one in my developmental psych lectures talks about this: the grief of outgrowing someone. No fight. No villain. Just two people becoming different shapes. And you mourn them while they're still in your phone. Still "a friend." I don't think I've learned how to grieve someone who's still alive. I don't think anyone teaches you that.

  17. This is my friend Cricket. She's been my best friend for 11 years, my constant companion.
    She got sick, and today was her last day. I miss her terribly.

  23. This video (or do we call them reels now? It's a #BookTrailer , I guess?) isn't quite the same, but it's a bit similar. A #magic guy gets #therapy for his issues of #grief and #loss-- his therapist specializes in empathy for this because she has those issues herself...

  24. A Question of Conscience

    Are you dead, my guide?
    Or have you simply sunk into the muck
    that creeps upon these inner corridors,
    drowning in helpless demise?

    The glass is obscured and the
    bright moon has faded into the mist
    while I, like a blind hand groping,
    stand trembling in this night,

    waiting.

  30. Between the Lines #1

    I wrote this before this blog ever existed. It was tucked away in one of my notebooks, waiting for the right place to live. I think it found that place here. Scars The gods always asked for sacrifices. Some were given lambs. Some were given daughters. I was given myself. No temple stood above me, no choir sang my name, yet something holy was taken all the same. Every pale line is another language my body learned instead of peace. The ones across my legs look like rivers on [โ€ฆ]

  35. Today should be my nephew's 7th birthday.

    Instead he will be forever 4 years old.

    Please, make sure you know what to do in case of a fire. Know which adult is going for which child. Practice your escape routes.

    Does the plan change if you have young grandkids staying over?

    Abscond: A Short Story

  41. Just a Rant on Depression~

    F*ck man Iโ€™m telling you; depression is Such a stone cold bitch.
    Iโ€™ll be watching TV and all of the sudden I get this dark yet soft,, malicious voice that starts whispering  these horrible things.
    It takes my biggest insecurities and fears and exploits themโ€ฆ
    One of the worst symptoms for me is just this dark, hopeless physically heavy ,;feeling that makes you not  want to get out of bedโ€ฆGravity feels like its 3x strongerโ€ฆ  you feel so empty that you want tnt to cur yourselfโ€ฆ

    .THAT is what kills me. Destroys you from the inside out
    I normally donโ€™t have this that bad when Iโ€™m on a good, consistent regimen  of medications as well as having a good support system. โ€ฆ
    You canโ€™t do it alone.
    Only issue is that A) starting a new psych med is like being a lab rat. You never know what youโ€™re gonna get. B) like everything in life, you gain a tolerance  and you have to start a whole new medication โ€ฆ
    I knew that I needed to get help when I literally couldnโ€™t out of bed without cutting myself.
    I carved โ€œDIEโ€ into my thigh.
    THAT IS NOT NORMAL BEHAVIOR

    So my primary doctor  started me off with Lexapro when I was 18 I think and it changed my life.
    After a week or so, that heavy boulder that has been sitting on my chest just went away.
    I felt 100x lighter  and the voices stopped being so loud and my panic attacks (that I have been plagued with stopped too!
    It was like my โ€œhappyโ€ switch was finally turned on
    And Iโ€™ve stayed on at least 2 psych meds ever since then.

    Not trying to push medication, but there absolutely are people who genuinely need them who canโ€™t get better on their own and are close to su!cide.
    THEN thereโ€™s all the other people who abuse the system and are just trying to โ€œbe edgyโ€.
    I do NOT advocate for medication for just anybody/everybody.  Only those who genuinely canโ€™t get out of bed even if there was a damn fire because of depression.
    If your house goes from clean and adorable to a big mess because your mind keeps giving you ideas on suic!de.
    If youโ€™re chemically unbalanced  mind ever ruins events that are supposed to be fun..
    You might have Major Depressive Disorder.

    But Everybody is different and heals in there own way.
    I DO however recommend/advocate  for therapy. Think everyone should see a therapist at least once a week.
    It is just SO freeing- and  helps keep your mind  straigh.

    But anyways Iโ€™m probably just talking to myself  I doubt anyone reads this๏’”

    But you know what? FUCK that shit.
    My writings at least  help me.
    If you are reading this, 
    Please donโ€™t ever stop fighting!
    And please never lose your soulโ€ฆ
    Itโ€™s  hard af to get back. โค๏ธโ€๏ฉน
    Remember that as long as thereโ€™s still air in your lungs,  you still have time to change.

  46. I just realised that Nephew is no longer packing all his things into bags as he goes to bed. For a while he did this in case there was a fire so that he could get all his stuff out the house easier.

    I am hoping the fact that he has stopped means that he is healing from what he went through.

    He is such an amazing young man. I am so damned proud of him and wish his dad could see him now.
