For the past few years I’ve taken up a one word resolution (I’d like to think i was ahead of the curve, before it got super popular, but whatever). I’ve had three years of words: 2013 was beautiful, 2014 was loved. I’ll have a 2016 word, but that’s for another post. While I felt like… Read More what a year of brave looks like.
I love to read, as most people know. Whether from exhaustion or mental capacity, my attention span as of late has been null… so I’m not reading as much as I used to. I do, however, read plenty- plenty– of blog posts. They’re short, sweet, and usually helpful or memorable to me in some way.… Read More my year {in blog posts}.
Have you ever thought about how helpful light is? Random question, I know. But it’s something I’ve been thinking about this week. Light–both in a literal and figurative sense– has been a recurring theme for me over the past few weeks (all of Advent, basically). It hasn’t been a particularly light-filled few months for me.… Read More light among us.
It’s 1:38am and I am wide awake. I don’t know if it’s from sickness or exhaustion or mental anguish, but I am just worn out. Yet I cannot for the life of me sleep. I toss, I turn, I watch Chopped on Netflix until my eyes cross. But sleep just isn’t coming easily for me… Read More in the wilderness.
The past three weeks I’ve fallen down the Netflix rabbit hole, in case you’re wondering why I’ve neglected this space. Or everything except twitter. I’m alive now, though– if only because i (finally!) finished the first season of Jane the Virgin. And despite starting the second season (ugh this show is addicting!), I decided I… Read More beloved mess.
Linking up with FMF again. It’s been awhile! Missed last week cause I was on a megabus to Chicago (another story for another day) but I loved the prompt, SEASON, so here we go: When life gives you lemons, we make lemonade, as the saying goes. But what do you do when life… Read More Five Minute Friday {Season}
I was planning on doing a different post (something about the amazingness that was my binge-marathoning Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt this weekend) but then something else came up. By about noon today, I knew this was going to be a bad anxiety day. I just couldn’t get this bad feeling to shake away. I was having… Read More lighting up my darkness.
hola. I was too tired to write this last night, plus I’d just written an important post (for me). Today’s five minute friday prompt: Dwell. I like this one! Of course, an idea for the post hit JUST AS I WENT TO SLEEP. Figures. So I’d planned to get up and write this morning… then got… Read More five minute friday {dwell}
In an email I got on Monday from a fabulous human, I was asked the following question: From last November to the one we are standing inside of right now, what’s the best thing you’ve learned? Looking back at the past year is not an easy feat for me, for a multitude of reasons. But… Read More 365 Days.
I’m baaaack. And not on my iphone this time, wee! Charger got here just in the nick of time. This week’s prompt is weary. Kinda perfect timing for it, truly. I don’t even know if I’m going to set the timer for this one. There are some days where my mental illness just overtakes me.… Read More five minute friday {weary}
