It's normal to be
abnormal— in this crazy
world we call our home

Scarcity of love,
my heart feels like a ghost town,
just shadows remain.

Such a paradox,
the darkest pockets of life,
contain the most hope.

Today is gray and gloomy, I needed a fresh pop of colour.
From my wildflower garden, still pretty in October.

Snippet from Sugar On Wounds

Sugar on Wounds is part diary, part memoir, and a survival story. It's a window into the final years of therapy training, where old wounds resurface and self love becomes a radical act.

shared stillness between,
a #language only we know—
love breathes, wordless, whole.

This only works for me if the number is 0. If I don't write I meet my target, if I do write a single word I exceed it.

"Only a fool can outsmart themselves" if this isn't a quote already, it is now.

Greetings, #pretendpanel! One week into writeathon month, I'm wondering how you feel about this notorious topic...

November 7th: X number of words per day - are you a fan of this approach or not?

THE WORM'S WAY

A tiny, lonely worm born inside an apple with no idea why it exists. As it tunnels it's way forward, each bite brings new fears and new wonders.

Is there more to life than what it's born into?

The gaps between words
is where the poem's heart and
body exists, still

Ready to reach out and choke,
or softly embrace our pain.

Then you came along,
salvation from my demons,

Love isn’t some thing we do. It’s who we are. It lives at the core of our being, waiting to move through us into the world. When we hold back our love out of fear or pride, we’re not protecting ourselves, we’re blocking the very flow of life that sustains us. 💞

My beautiful scars—
offer texture of wisdom,
on my mind’s landscape.

I'm doing better alone.
Do you even care?
I certainly don't.
What kind of messed up #experiment did we find ourselves in.
Sometimes I think it was a test.
You were meant to fail so I could learn to persevere.
