on mental health

On my best days I am certain that I am cherished beyond measure that everyone who loves me does so unyieldingly. On my worst days IContinue reading “on mental health”

the monsters in us all

How easy it is for us to bemoan our own hardships, the hurts and betrayals that have been done onto us, what about the terror we enact on others? To live without fault is near impossible, if not entirely so. Each of us comes away from this life scathed and scathing. It is effortless toContinue reading “the monsters in us all”

More wolf than girl,I respond to my instincts,the voice in my headthat urges me to run… or to freeze… or to fight….. she’s even learned how to fawn,swallowing down her pride,just to survive.
