There is nothing healthy about remaining in a situation with yourself or with others where it is unbearable to be in closed up in the same space alone or together. Nothing. You are not noble or honorable or wise or kind for continuing to remain in an unhealthy situation with yourself or with someone else. You are not strong or resilient or faithful or powerful or amazing for continuing to remain in an unhealthy situation with yourself or with someone else. You are simply unhealthy and whether you realize it today or you realize it 10 years from now, what is healthy is what is right. Make a change now. Use this time to reflect upon yourself and your situation now and let that motivate a positive change that lasts after the quarantine in both your relationship with yourself and your relationships with others.

Cloistering Myself
For the time being, I am taking a step back from blogging and social media to protect myself. More will come when I return because by then, whenever that may be, but for now I must remain cloistered. Know I am safe. Know I am happy. Know I will return and, oh, the tales I... Continue Reading →

I miss you my friend (reblog)
I miss my friends, the words, as well... I miss when writing came easy, When words flowed from my veins, Falling into perfect lines, Flowing into flawless sounds.
