We have entered the part of the year when all my past trauma bubbles up to the surface to remind me that I am still that scared little girl just begging to be loved.

My only precognitive dreams are about pregnancy and death, this somehow makes sense to me.

Sometimes after receiving rejection letters I get discouraged.
But I was just searching through my work for one poem in particular, and I am a really fucking good poet.
Eventually the work will find its home and the world will see that.

I have barely seen anyone other than my aunt, my kids, and my spouse since breaking my ankle in August. So that means I’m extra excited to host horror movie night in a couple of weeks.

After the mishap with that little mag last month and my 6 weeks of isolation while recovering, my work as a poet has definitely taken a hit.
I had no inspiration for so long and my confidence in myself and my work plummeted.
I hope I can spend the last few months of the year getting back to it.

This year has been incredibly hard and especially isolating for me, and that’s okay.

Moving up to about 4 hours a day with my boot off plus yoga and PT.
Healing from this injury has been exhausting and shaken the very foundation of my belief in myself

It's banned book week and we sincerely hope you're reading something that makes conservative people sneer. The bar is low, but that doesn't mean we can't be proud of clearing it!
Let us know what book you're devouring this week, and never let anyone tell you what you can and can't read.

As we move through fall I find myself thinking about my ex best friend more and more. I’ e considered reaching out but I know she doesn’t that, so all I can do is think of her often. I hope she’s healed and stayed in therapy. I hope she has been loved and supported well.

I had to switch therapy days because of PT, and we’ve really been focusing on my high functioning codependency lately 🤡
Anyway my homework for this week is to read Too Much by Terri Cole, which has been on my TBR for like a year already.
