Perspective

By -

I was pretty until I frowned from life.

I was cute until I spoke.

I was precious until I showed my wounds.

I was vulnerable until it didn’t fit your narrative.

I was humble until I stood my ground.

I was loving until I put up boundaries.

I was curious until I asked too many questions.

I was smart until my perspective didn’t match yours.

I was a hard worker until I showed too much dedication.

 

I frown because I am human and life hurts. Don’t you feel it?

I speak because I have a voice to use. Don’t you use yours with purpose?

I have wounds that I carry. Isn’t that life? Don’t you have wounds?

I am vulnerably strong. Don’t you want to learn?

I am humble enough to realize I am not going to compete. Don’t you think it’s exhausting?

I am loving enough to set boundaries while I care. Don’t you respect accountability?

I am curious that provokes ideas and concepts. Don’t you want to grow?

I was smart until it scared you. Don’t you think life is about seeing a world beyond yours?

I worked hard but it appears it’s intimidating. You want to be on top, don’t you?

Unresolved Conflicts in the Context of a Relationship

By -
 The past 3 years have been tough on me for various reasons that I seem I cannot shake. The two main topics is when I cheated and when my uncle Jerome passed away. I have realized these two events changed me in ways that I wish I could reverse. The cheating and Jerome’s passing have been unresolved issues for me despite the various times I tried to reconcile. I still feel like my nervous system is dysregulated more often than not. As I was listening to a podcast the other day this person quoted “you have to actively repair the threat associations that your brain has built up around each other. It takes both partners to acknowledge the specific wounds each partner has created without turning it into a blame system.” This resonated with me deeply. I realized that the lead up to the cheating, the cheating itself and Jerome’s passing are deep wounds that I carry around every day. As I was listening to the podcast it spoke about invalidation, unresolved conflicts, emotional withdraw...

December 2025

By -
December 2025 can go F itself. I know that’s bold for me to say but it is my truth. I lost my Kitty on December 3 rd , a family friend on the 15 th and Christmas day brought my dad to the ER. December 2025 wasn’t so kind. Just before December I was planning on moving away to reboot and start over again. I planned on bringing my beloved Kitty with me. I had her over 10 years and she was the love of my life, and I cried for a few weeks. Then a family friend passed away and I went to honor them in the only way I knew how at the ICU days before they passed. I didn't have time to cry because I had to focus on packing and moving since it was already in the works before all of this.  When Christmas approached my dad called and appeared confused and told me he could barely walk. He was what is called acute kidney injury and was severely dehydrated. I remember while I was visiting him he teared up for the first time and asked me if Dee Dee was okay and expressed concern. I didn't tel...

Can You See Me Now?

By -
I am unique. So, I was told. I am different. So, I was told. I am brave. So, I was told. I am beautiful. So, I was told. I am creative. So, I was told. I am intelligent. So, I was told. I am funny. So, I was told. I am a fighter. So, I was told. I cry nearly every day. So, here I am. I feel deeply. So, here I am. I have barriers to tall to jump. So, here I am. I think about everything. So, here I am. I have deep wounds that won't close. So, here I am. I feel like a monster. So, here I am. I joke to mask the pain. So, here I am. I lose sight and energy for hope. So, here I am. Can you see me now? Can you see that my pain is what you admire?
