Remaining Silent

What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind? Oftentimes, we consider “clapping back” as a way to defend verbal attacks. I used to feel that way until I got a little older. When someone is ignorant enough to come at you, for absolutely no reason at all…other than to get a rise…

Not Among Them

Tell us about a time when you felt out of place. In 2017, I did the unthinkable, and defended myself against my ex. He had become physically abusive, so I shot him in the neck. He survived, fortunately, my father taught me how to fight and handle a gun. However, going through the criminal justice…

Weekly Reading October 3rd – 6th 2024: Love Protects

Morning Respite

I woke to the empty echoes of my apartment. The portal in which I gained entry and my sibling were gone for the morning. Hearing good morning from someone who plays games is similar to stumbling outside in frigid temps, right as you wake. That was a relief. I choose to say “hi.” Less verbiage….

The Ick

It diffuses the need to continue arguing. I have done this before, and I realize it is a better solution….

Weekly Cleaning

What’s your #1 priority tomorrow? Every Monday, I clean the entirety of my room, and bathroom. I have the master bedroom in my home. It doesn’t take me all day, but I love cleaning. I listen to music, vacuum, dust, scrub…you name it. And then I vacuum the carpet and my rugs as well. I…

Truly, Ignoring

What could you do more of? One of the things I want to practice is ignoring someone when they’ve said something unnecessary. While I take steps to send their energy back, and ignore them afterwards, I’d like to not acknowledge it in the first place. This occurrence happened recently and I will admit I am…

Blood Doesn’t Matter

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? When I was in my younger twenties, I fell under a cloak of insanity and hatred from a family member. Not only was my own mother lashing out at me, she had failed to instruct me properly with care of my new born, and what my…
