I was so excited about this topic that I almost dove in right in the middle. That’s right. I almost started at a place where it would make next to no sense for the reader. That happens to me sometimes, but I think I’ve shared that with you. I get so excited about some thing… Continue reading Am I that unlikable?

When has fear sabotaged you from growth? I was reading recently and this question was posed as something to explore. My immediate response? All the time. Every time. Often. Frequently. Typically. I want to say never. I want to tell you that I have always been able to overcome my fears to grow as a… Continue reading The Saboteur.

I know, I know. Tomorrow was a pretty long stretch this go around. What can I say? I have a lot going on and I’m trying to practice self-care since I go on and on about it all the damn time. Anyway, speaking of self-care, I’d love to talk about standards. I basically talk about… Continue reading High Standards.

Hi. So, this sort of crazy but innately human thing happened to me. I want to share it, because I think it is incredibly relevant to what we chat about, regularly. Two different people that I was close with (am close with? was close with?) called me out about my blog. They both were extraordinarily… Continue reading Yo.

Happy end of this post rant. Are you happy we got here, finally? Me too. I’m going to keep this one pretty brief. What did I say I was going to do in the beginning of all of this? Oh right, a solution. LOL. A solution?! I don’t have a solution. The End. Just kidding,… Continue reading Gold, baby, gold.

Silence. Perhaps the most brutal of it all. I deeply struggle with silence. I’ve talked about this so many times that you might be rolling your eyes right about now. Yes, we get it. We know you can’t stand the silent treatment. We understand. Get over it. I can’t. Get over it. I just cannot.… Continue reading Hello? Are you there?

In my humble opinion, there are two distinct types of insult. There are obvious insults, and then subliminal or underhanded insults (you know, the backhanded compliment). I’m not sure why I’m even indulging in this exercise, but I did take to wondering which type of insult I find the most troublesome. Sort of ridiculous, right?… Continue reading Dismantle the cake.

Good ol’ justification. Justification is when someone will try and demonstrate their behavior to be right and reasonable. Justification can be part of a manipulation strategy, but it can also stand completely on its own two feet. Justification can be extra tricky, because often there is no discrediting involved. It isn’t about someone telling you… Continue reading Ignore the Elephant.

I’ve spoken about this phenomenon before in a million different ways, but I am experiencing it so significantly right now, that it begs a revisit. Maybe you don’t need it, but I do. I am trying to resist the urge to throw in a disclaimer. I can’t. I’m fighting other desires right now, so I… Continue reading Manipulate This.

Where was I? Here. Or not. I needed a little break. I'm back (ish). Okay. Really...where was I? Oh right, the fucking fantastic nightmare that was my last relationship. Well, actually, I was in a spin class. So, there I was in the spin class. Cold, dark room, people all around me. Everyone on their… Continue reading So tired (of not doing the work).
