Why I Stopped Apologizing for Taking Care of Myself
Why I Stopped Apologizing for Taking Care of Myself Choosing rest, boundaries, and peace — without guilt. There was a time in my life when “yes” rolled off my tongue before I even considered how I felt. I didn’t want to upset anyone. I didn’t want to seem lazy, selfish, or unavailable. I thought being constantly available was a form of love — or at least, acceptance.

Reclaiming the Truth:
It’s amusing how topics seem to align themselves in our lives when we need them most. Today, I found myself once again circling back to a subject I’ve often discussed, spirituality, spellcasting, and the relationship between esoterics and God. Despite misconceptions that persist in mainstream religious doctrine, the truth is far more nuanced than the condemnation many are quick to espouse.

“Wherever I sat, on the deck of a ship or at a street café in Paris or Bangkok—I would be sitting under the same glass bell jar, stewing in my own sour air.”

The Library of Lost Voices
Chapter 1: The Girl Who Didn’t Speak I haven’t uttered a word since the accident five years ago. Not when my parents divorced. Not when my best friend moved away. The doctors called it "selective mutism," but I knew the truth—my voice hadn’t been lost. It had been taken.

Re-Evaluating My View on eBooks
For most of my life, I haven’t enjoyed eBooks. I was always the kid that had a physical book in my hands: during lunch and recess, in the middle of the night, on long car rides. I would go to the library on a near weekly basis during the summer and check out a tall stack of books that I would get through in only a few days.

Romance in the Trenches
So, I used to work at my local branch of Half Price Books (a.k.a real happiest place on Earth). And while I was there, I was surprised by the exploding popularity of one book in particular. While the number of inquiries about Kristin Hannah’s The Women (2024) genuinely impressed me, it didn’t intrigue me enough at the time to want to read it. The only thing I knew for sure about the author is that she's a well-seasoned female-writer. That was it. But backed up by good reviews, from both critics and readers, it was a title I thought would be worth filing away for later - if I ever got the chance to really enjoy reading again.
