Loud

Sometimes my thoughts are (too) loud. They (over)take me in         pull me         push me                 into a corner         box me in. Sometimes it’s hard to separate the thoughts. They spiderweb         spin         twist into each other. … Continue Reading

Stage

People who know only the fringes of me sometimes think                        I don’t ever participate                              or I’m shy.      Or if they really have no idea who I am at all,          they might think I’m defiant in some … Continue Reading

Need

My friend suggested that I don’t tend to ask for help –                        in the middle of things. Maybe afterward, after I’ve cleaned myself up a bit,                        after I’ve come out of the crap a bit                                                             (or a … Continue Reading

Degree

My life could be such a different life with just one slight movement.                                                                One degree.                                                                One decision. What if I had chosen a different college? Or not gone to college at all? Or dropped out of high school? … Continue Reading

Scissors

Mannerisms. Facial expressions. Habits. Addictions. Medical/Emotional/Mental illnesses. Feelings. Reactions/Responses. Products of nature or nurture? Probably both. But I hope mostly nurture. Because that means change is possible. So many things get passed down to the next generation(s). Sometimes new stuff … Continue Reading

Design

I believe God created and designed the world. We are too intricate and detailed to be accidental                                                 by chance                                                      evolved outside of the basic                                                               specified, specific                                                                       species                                                      completely figured out … Continue Reading
