Okay. So, we have to attempt to avoid the water when it’s jelly fish season or when we are advised that they’ve come in for their own reasons mostly unbeknownst to us. We do the same with relationships. We try and not make major decisions to jump in or out when things are upside down… Continue reading Another time, another beach, another suit.

I was watching something the other night and the concept of l’appel du vide was introduced. I know that sounds horrifically generic. I mean, it’s not really appropriate to say ‘watching the other night’, but I was tired as fuck when it was on and I honestly can’t remember where I heard it. If you… Continue reading Into the void?

Hi. Sorry for the hiatus. I know that we still need to discuss how to do this. I mean, the movie was great and all, but we aren’t about to take our friends to court to divorce them, right? Sounds rather dramatic and honestly, likely easier than what actually has to be done. I don’t… Continue reading Fade to black…

What did I mean by more yesterday? Why isn’t someone’s best effort and intention just taken at face value? Well, because of the feelings underlying the effort and the authenticity of the intention. We don’t have to explore why someone might feel the way that they do, because we might never really understand (no matter… Continue reading It’s okay not to be okay.

I have a friend who recently told me that things feel hard when we interact. I didn’t necessarily disagree with her at all, but it didn’t feel like a casual observation of our relationship. It felt like an accusation. It felt like I was being told I am difficult. Fifty percent of that feeling came… Continue reading Always more.

As I shared yesterday, I think I’ve always believed that every relationship is fixable. I think there is always some ground to find whereas two people find their groove. What if this is not the case though? What if you’ve outgrown another person? What if the circumstances that brought you together no longer exist and… Continue reading Can. Not. Fix. Right?

Merriam-Webster defines irreconcilable differences as follows: an inability to agree on most things or on important things. I was having a discussion with a friend recently about older movies and the movie with that title came to mind. I pulled up the movie on Google to show my friend, who had never heard of it,… Continue reading An inability to agree.

Happy Friday. How are you? Ready to wrap this (for now?)... I did get out of that terrible relationship, but not because I was strong enough to break free. I got out because he left me. I got out because he found someone else and married her. I got out because I didn’t have a… Continue reading Now I’m here…

I want to spend some time talking about how I felt when I was in the thick of things. I think it’s important that I really dig deep and share the nitty gritty. I don’t want to hold back or make things nice. I want to be very honest about what I was thinking about… Continue reading This is what it looked like.

I want to tell you that this is going to be a quick and lighthearted look back. I want to tell you that you will admire me that I “made it through”. You won’t. I was pathetic. I abandoned friends and family. I abandoned myself. I was very lost and rather than taking the time… Continue reading Drowning.
