.perception

Over the short course of my starting and writing this blog, I have been both put down and praised for it.  I have been accused of being a whiny brat & tit bag and a person only writing to get attention and "likes" because it makes me feel better.  I have also been praised and … Continue reading .perception →

. sometimes

Sometimes you just want someone completely on your side, no matter how crazy or insane an idea may be.  To have someone have complete faith in whatever scheme or idea or dream you may have come up with this time.  To have someone who will back your adventure 100% because they believe in whatever it … Continue reading . sometimes →

. I was vs I am

-The past cannot be changed, forgotten, edited, or erased; it can only be accepted. I was a 16 year old girl that overcame the odds of a horrific car accident to no only walk again, but to walk to her prom 5 months later and to play softball a year later.  I am a woman … Continue reading .

. a quick escape

I've heard many times over that "the hardest place to escape is your mind."  Well, no offense to the person that first coined that phrase, but they must have not had a toddler or small child running around because they are absolutely impossible to escape!  Sometimes it is actually our mind that we can fold … Continue reading . a quick escape →
