Identity As A Liquid Not A Solid

I used to find so much meaning in my identity. I was an actor. That was who I was. I had an origin story. I grew up in a beautiful community and lost it all and I was going to get famous and gain back my families honor and marry…

Notes from A Depressive Episode

It’s here. The thing I’ve been fighting for about a week. After getting fired I wrote and wrote and wrote and tried to do the right things. But now it’s here. I know why it’s here too. I did everything right. I worked really hard. I hyper focused on my…

Practicing Saying Kind Words in the Moonlight

I love to say horrible things. I love to be really emotionally unstable and just shake the world up because everything feels fake to me. I used to try to harm myself in order to feel, now I just scream and yell in order to feel. But I feel awful…

My Angry Inner Possum

So I’m feeling pretty interesting. I’m challenging myself to write even when it hurts. I’m challenging myself to show up when I want to isolate and hide away and hiss like an angry possum. The angry possum girl within me says “who cares! No one cares about you anyway! You…

Who Are You Doing This For?

Think of it. You know what it is. It is the thing that you are currently doing. It can be a habit, it can be a career, it can be a choice. Whatever it is, insert it below and answer these questions for yourself if you dare. — Are you doing it to be seen? Are you doing it to hide? Are you doing it as a crutch?

Just letting you know. Your therapist cries at night sometimes. Your therapist might see a therapist themselves. Your therapist messes up. Your therapist misses the mark. Your therapist is not your healer. Your therapist is not your savior. Your therapist does not have all the answers. Your therapist is not…

I Got Fired From A Non Profit because I am Black.

Im going to be on this for awhile so if you’ve read three other posts and incoherent ramblings on this topic, I totally understand if you want to ignore this one. However, if you are along for the ride on my saga of self discovery, healing, and screaming then buckle…
