I have always had a difficult time processing the idea of a passive bystander or the bystander effect. I’m not a superhero but I often don’t think about who else is doing what before I decide to act in any given scenario. I may consider safety but what any other given human is doing, probs… Continue reading The Not So Innocent Bystander.

Welcome back. Did you consider what I left you with yesterday? Or were you too salty about it? I get it either way. I do. I read a great article in The Advocate whereas the author explored the notion of retiring the word privileged. The last paragraph in the article is perhaps the most profound… Continue reading Changing Hearts First, Minds Later.

A Safe Place to Land- Sara Bareilles When holding your breath is safer than breathingWhen letting go is braver than keepingWhen innocent words turn to liesAnd you can't hide by closing your eyes When the pain is all that they offerLike the kiss from the lips of a monsterYou know the famine so well, but… Continue reading Is it a proud privilege?

Hey there. Happy Monday - the best day of the week to delve into the last bit of our discussion from last week. What is the last part of all of that jazz? First of all, it’s not the very last part but just the remaining part I want to address for now. Okay, okay.… Continue reading Getting Lost- The Finale.

Hey there. Happy Friday. I know this may feel like an overdone moment for you but I want to talk about the feelings related to connection just one more time. Or one more time for now at least. I think it’s important to revisit because I’ve spent too much time in my life attached, too… Continue reading Getting Lost- Day #4.

Hi. Thanks for coming back. Apparently I got REALLLLLY lost because I was completely MIA yesterday. Sorry. Lots o' stuff going on in the world and I was distracted. Anyway, I know my words from the other day are difficult to stomach. When I’ve been handed a load of shit in life, I can’t stand… Continue reading Getting Lost- Days 2 and 3

I was going to post something I had already written. I was going to continue my previously explored subject matter. I want to do that, but I want it to be tomorrow. I am profoundly disturbed by something and I would be remiss if I ignored that feeling. I would be foolish to leave it… Continue reading We’ve Elected to Hate Each Other.

It is so easy to find yourself wrapped up in another human. Perhaps you are not a person who is easily consumed, but you are definitely a rarity in that way. Before you predetermine that you are not one of “those” people, perhaps you will give me a moment to explore the concept with you.… Continue reading Getting Lost- Day #1

I saw this great gif lately that spoke to everyone’s ability to let their resting bitch faces rest because of masks. I know that might feel in poor taste to you, but I’m not ashamed to tell you that I definitely laughed out loud on that one. The thing is, you can generally tell whether… Continue reading The Week After- Day #5

“Daisies” When did we all stop believing in magic? Why did we put all our hopes in a box in the attic? I'm the long-shot I'm the Hail Mary Why can't it be me? They told me I was out there Tried to knock me down (knock me down) Took those sticks and stones Showed… Continue reading The Week After- Day #4
