I’m the type of soul tired where even staying in bed all day doesn’t seem to help. Though, not that I actually stay in bed all day lol. But even getting to sleep in a bit doesn’t seem to touch it. I think I just need some time alone to recharge.

Neurodivergent Well-being

I didn’t blog every day in August, so maybe I’ll try the last month of 2022. Greetings. I’m alive. Sort of. In some ways this year has been the best and the worst. I’ve done so much that I’ve wanted to do but have had some hard realizations … including that the world is not [...]

Seascape Saturday?

It has been a while. I was doing pretty well, or so I thought, up until just about this past week or so in the semester. So, at least I made it farther than I normally do until the burnout hits. A fair amount of my autistic friends have mentioned that it could be autistic [...]

Autism and Self Diagnosis

A number of my autistic friends have given me the feedback that they believe I am autistic too. It has been something that has been on my mind for a while and would explain a lot of childhood things for me. Admittedly I felt like the autistic community, along with people in general (NTs… how [...]

Creative Writing

Seriously, sometimes I feel like it's the bane of my existence. It calls to me and then when I actually find time to do it, my muse has fucked off somewhere lol. It's horrendous. I've been looking at different options in terms of taking undergrad courses or even entering into an MFA program but it's [...]

Complex Trauma

Being sick on and off this spring/summer has forced me to look at the ways in which trauma and stress manifest in my body. I've been working through a lot and my body has been forcing me to slow down. I hope I can carry that with me through the semester. In some ways, I [...]

Hawk Symbolism

I've been dreaming so much more lately... or, rather, I've been remembering more. So I dreamt that a lovely brown/red hawk landed near me and I started taking a picture of it with my phone. I remember feeling happy. Then I remember seeing its long spindly talons as it climbed onto my forearm. My happiness/excitement [...]

Seascape Saturday

Seriously... have you ever seen anything so beautiful?

A Mentor’s Death

On one of my recent trips, I flew through Miami International Airport. I had been through, or more like ran through, it some weeks ago, but this time I had a longer layover. Many folks were still masked in the terminals. While I was walking around to find coffee and grub with my travel companion [...]

Distance and Connection

There's security in only allowing others to see you at your best Made up well-dressed. But pale, sickly Lip bloodied Feels too raw, My image sullied. What could be better than to remain at a safe distance a curated image untouched. You might be anything exciting in their mind But too far away from their [...]
