My Next Chapter
This May, I gradaute with my Bachelors Degree in Human Services. I am so proud of that, beyond proud of that honestly. So the inevitable question is after graduation is what is next for you? What are you doing next? What is your next chapter? Well I am here to tell you that I both know and do not know at the same time! And that is kind of exciting. Here is what I know to be true, either way I will be okay. Either way I will NOT be the person I was and I will make an impact on the world. I will not settle for anything less then I deserve.

Late Night Thoughts Part 2
Last Night I Did not sleep, which if you know me well that should not surprise you. The Last Time I had Late Night thoughts I wrote 4 books about them and published them on amazon. And while I do not regret writing or publishing those books they are not me anymore. Not even in the slightest.

It's not my story anymore
There's a Taylor Swift song called the Manuscript it's about closing a Dark chapter of one's life. Or any chapter for that matter. I wanted to write about this because I think it's important to realize that yes while the things I write about on here are personal and about things I have dealt with. But that does not mean I am that person forever. I'm not the girl I was 5 years ago or even last year. I am NOT the niave women I was back then. I know better now. MUCH better. In fact I cringe at the person I was. I will NEVER tolerate the shit I did back then.

Trying to seem cool
Yes the Taylor Swift called Eldest Daughter inspired me to write this piece. I may not be an Eldest Daughter but damn that song hits hard especially the line i have been afflicted by a terminal uniqueness i've been dying just from trying to seem cool. In case you haven't read my previous pieces I am a bit of a unique soul! I am not complaining at all!

I'd like to talk about Mental Health
I think we as a society need to talk about Mental Health more. So as the resident loud person I'd like to talk about it. Yesterday I published a piece on how much I accomplished this year and how proud of myself I am. I talked about all the lessons I learned and how I've grown as a person over the last 3 years in particular. And while all that may be true, and I will never want to change anything about what I accomplished. I do want to let you in on a little secret? But before I do please understand that I am not being negative or downplaying my accomplishments or saying that I'm not proud of myself. I am so proud of everything. That will never change. Please understand that.

You Can't Rush Healing
I've been baring my naked soul on here, in my books, on my podcast, other websites for years now. All of which have documented my healing journey over the last 5 years. And while I'm happy to share my story in hopes of helping others and will continue to do so. I had a thought last night that struck me. "You've been healing for 5 years now shouldn't you be done? you have an associates degree, you're close to getting a bachelors, you've done all this work....why aren't you done?"

Well it's been a while
Hello! It's been a long time since I've written. A lot has changed, I got my Associates Degree in Human Services. I graduated 2 months ago with a 3.76 GPA. I'm now getting my bachelors degree which I will have in one year. I flipped the script of the narrative that I thought i would have forever. I thought I never get anywhere for the longest time but after doing 2 amazing internships and getting my degree I can confidentially say that I will do it all. I will be a damn good therapist and a writer and podcaster. I'm extremely excited for what the future holds.

F*ck Going Back To School
This May I embarked on a two year adventure, I went back to school. I decided to get an associates degree in applied sciences and study to be the addictions counselor I've wanted to be for years. 6 years and one abusive realtionship later here we are. It was hard to get the courage to go back, I pondered this for months. So many questions came up, would I do well? Would I pass my classes? Would I even get my degree? Am I even smart enough? Could I afford it? Would it be a waste of time? So many thoughts ran through my head. But despite all that I decided to take a risk and apply, I filled out the application and got all the required information from my high school. I decided to major in Human Services that seemed the closest thing to psychology (it is) And I sent in all my information.

An Open Letter to my Daughter
Dear Wednesday, That's what your name was going to be, please don't @ me. I've always loved the Adams Family and Wednesday was always my faovrite character. She's sarcastic and acerbic and I live for it. I always thought that would be a cute name for a girl. Well today would've been your fifth birthday. You almost came into my life 3 times and while I'm glad you didn't in a way because you would've grown up with an abusive dad. I still wonder how you would've ended up. I bet you'd be just like me, weird and way to caring. I wonder if you'd have my eyes or my voice. I also wonder if you'd have my Taylor Swift Addiction. We could've gone to concerts together! We would've been best friends. But you never ended up coming into my life and that's probably for the best. I was way to immature to have you and your dad would've hurt you in addition to me. I still wonder though at times. It's been 5 years but I still hurt every year on this day. I can't go visit you at a grave, you were never born. I can't write you letters, you won't get them. I have to get over it. I can however say that someone else has come into my life and filled the void. My dog, Bonnie lou. She's 8 years old and my world. But she still isn't you. I love her more then life itself, don't get me wrong. I would do anything for her, she saved my life. I can't deny that. But she's still not you.
