Greetings From A Squiggly Mind
Just some very random ruminations from the depths of my squiggly mind……..
Here I sit, staring at a blank screen. Unable to put my thoughts to words on paper. My therapist wants me to write. She requested that I do so months ago. I never could figure out how. My writing is dead. Something killed that part of me years ago and the past year just put... Continue Reading →
Words forsake me Nothing to be said You have so much in common Why try so hard Why change who you are You have a connection Not with the real you Who is this you Your dress Your music Your spirituality Your heartlessness Your abandonment You wanted more than me You needed what I am...

“I’ve fallen in love with someone” The words that would change my life forever. The thing is that I knew. I already knew in my heart that that was the case. I already knew that he was cheating on me.

Empty spaces Blackness enshrines A world once sparkling With words, phrases Poetry Love and passion Fear and pain Blackness envelopes Her every thought A blacksmith of emotion Emotions so raw She wishes to return in time To a world of words They must be strewn Across the page

Why did I stop writing? And when? I can’t remember and don’t have an answer to either of those questions. All I know is that it’s gone. I’m gone. Or least a part of me is. And make no mistake, writing was an essential part of me. It was who I was in a lot... Continue Reading →
I can’t get out of my head today. I’m antsy and agitated and have burned through everything I needed to do at home. I have no job to distract me and can’t get one for a few more months. I’m exhausted, but need to keep moving. It’s a mental exhaustion. I want to crawl into... Continue Reading →
What to do? What to do?What to write? Doo bee doo.Seriously folks, I’m drawing a blank. I want to write and I want to be interesting and informative and helpful and and and. But there’s just nothing there. Drawing that blank.Let’s see. My mental health has been hit and miss. For those of you out... Continue Reading →
I do not consider myself to be an interesting person. I am your average, every day, run of the mill mom, wife, woman. It's funny because I have always believed that everyone has a life story that would make a book interesting enough for anyone to read. I guess that's just the voyeur in me.... Continue Reading →
