I Blame Padmé Amidala. Content Warning.
CONTENT WARNING distressing language, suicidal thoughts, pregnancy, traumatic labor Fear and Shame I'll never forget watching Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith with my father. He was so excited to show me these movies. Episodes IV, V, and VI came out during his childhood, and he wanted to share his love for the series with me. He was as excited as a little kid. We made popcorn and settled in front of the big screen with the surround sound blasting, ready for the experience of a lifetime. The rise of Darth Vader.

Carnalized Onion. Content Warning.
This tale was written because of a spelling error during my interview with Heather Hubler, who decided it was best to leave it in the final draft. She in fact pointed it out to the readers. Was it funny that she left it in …yes. But I have received one too many smart-ass retorts to let it go on any further. Whilst trying to work on my writings, and complete my first novel, more than a few friends found the interview, and left me some provocative messages and colorful images.

Why am I here?
After reading some stories from others who have confessed their reasons for writing, I am inspired to share my own. The pandemic has changed me in ways I never expected but let's be honest, anyone who says the pandemic didn't change them in some way, shape, or form, is telling a bold faced lie. I am a 39 year old female and feel as if I could be the poster child of late in life diagnosis of ADHD and Anxiety. I'll spare you the details of my medication journey since I've covered that in another story (No Manual for This). I am now medication free and learning to navigate life with two mental illnesses that feed off of each other and can keep me incredibly high strung if I let them.

Pink Flip Flops. Content Warning.
In the summer of 1980, my heart was slowly mending from a seven-month-long love affair that went up in flames and fireworks, Fatal Attraction style without the bunny stew. There were no emotions that were not plumbed to their depths throughout those months, love, passion, lust, envy, jealousy, fury, misery, anguish, and regret.

My Vocal hits 1000 reads??
I started on Vocal a couple of years ago and, after a week, decided to jump off. However, upon returning and diving into my writing career, I invested in Vocal Plus; this decision alone ignited a drive to write more. By writing more, I am sharing and learning more as well. I'm making friends with people I never thought possible on this platform.

Conversations with Myself
"Children see magic because they look for it." -Christopher Moore I think as adults we spend a lot of time reflecting upon our childhoods. I know I do, especially while raising my two young children. I love shaping their little worlds. All I want to do is be a better parent, every day that is the goal that I work towards. I have learnt a lot from my past, after all it is the best teacher.
