By the time you read this I will have taken my first exam of the semester. It was supposed to be last week, but I was busy battling the flu, so this week it is. Here’s the funny thing. You know what I’m most anxious about? Not being anxious. I feel adequately prepared. Comfortable with […]
Finally Free
I want to write a poem, But I don’t know where to start. Life before you, life without you, Or when it fell apart. You’ve stolen oh so much from me. My worth, my heart, my time. You’ve stolen my identity, It’s like I’ve lost my mind. I used to be so brave […]

Well I have the flu and I’ve lost my voice. I know I blogged yesterday, but I’m tired of sitting around doing nothing, so I’m going to write again. But about what? Hmm. I love quotes. They speak to things I’m unable to put words to. And since I literally don’t have a voice right […]

That’s why these things need to be said. My last post made me pretty vulnerable. So vulnerable that I waited almost a full week before publishing it on Facebook. I was afraid […]
My Eating Disorder: Friend or Foe
This week is National Eating Disorder Awareness week and a friend of mine recently asked me to help her with a little project. She wanted a clip or 2 about the positive and/or negative effects the eating disorder has had on my life. She wanted to give a voice to all sides of the eating disorder. […]
Walk Today. Dance Tomorrow.
This afternoon has been full of revelation. I’m not going to label it good or bad. Labels suck. Revelation is simply an awareness of truth. And truth has no bias. Revelation 1: My hip has not functioned properly for over a third of my life. It’s true. I broke my hip when I was 18. January of […]
