Bad habits
The Window
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. As she moved quietly to the window, she heard sounds from the other side. Sounds that were all to familiar. The muffled cry, the slap of the belt! She was intrigued, she knew she shouldn't be, but she couldn't help herself. She wanted to look, to see what was taking place, but she knew that it would dehumanizing. She creeped closer. The cry getting louder, the smack of the belt as it cracked against flesh, it was so exciting!

BEHIND THE LAST WINDOW
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. Nestled under fine-woven sheets laced with blue and purple silk, she sat up in the window seat, given to her by her new master, the man she shared her room with. Looking outside the clear glass aperture, there were two mockingbirds: one male, one female both chasing after each other with every chirp met with a kiss, on each other’s’ beak. Feeling the heat of the sun wrapping around the top of her neck, increasing it's intensity, she moves her gaze to the bottom of the sequoia tree right outside her hotel room. There, two scavenger crows, often mistaken for ravens, search for pestilence of the innumerable creepy crawling things beneath the ground, of whom mankind knowns to be Hell.

Let's Celebrate my Three Year Soberversary
On December 9th, 2019, I took my last sip of alcohol. My drinking had progressed significantly in a very short period of time. I don't know exactly when I crossed that line, but once it is crossed it can't be reversed - at least not for me. I became a 24/7 drinker. Before you think it can't happen to you, trust me it can. My drinking progressed to the point that if woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, I would open a beer. It progressed to the point that the obsession started before I even woke up. I would have a beer waiting for me on my bedside table when I woke up. My liver was swollen. I was having seizures. I was in a rotation of psych wards, court appointments, and emergency room visits. If I can offer any advice, it is not to wait until it gets to this point. Don't be an "at-leaster." Don't say, "well at least I'm not a felon," "at least I don't have five OVI's." Before you know it, it can happen to you.

8 Signals You're Engaged to Someone Who Isn't Respectful of You
If you are a big admirer of love, you most certainly wish to be in a relationship with someone who makes you happy and content. You want to spend the rest of your life with the person who constantly brings a lot of joy and brightness to your days, and you want to establish a relationship that is long-lasting and robust. Of course, things aren't always as straightforward as you'd want them to be. Making a relationship succeed requires much more than simply love and devotion. A mutual feeling of trust and respect is always required for a marriage to last. And if there is a substantial manque of respect in a relationship, your marriage will have a very bleak future. When you sense a lack of respect on your partner's side in your marriage, you must take action. Remember that you are only human, and you can only take so much abuse and contempt. So, once you notice that you are being disrespected, you must be able to speak out and effect change.

The Mortician's Daughter
On the day I lost my virginity, my partner, a beautiful young man named Josh, had been dead for 12 hours. I guess that sounds kind of weird to you, right? And I guess it is kind of weird, too. But, well, when you grow up in a funeral parlour, it’s the kind of thing that can end up happening. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

My Hate For The Holidays. Christmas Especially!
Public service announcement: As our Christmas Day is almost over can I just personally say how much I actually hate the holidays and how ironic it is of us as a human race under contempt to celebrate a day set on recognizing the messiah when in dear fact the messiah died because of our sins not for our sins.
