Let's Talk

Let’s Talk

I have these talks with my sister and some of my friends. The talks are about anything from something silly that happened during the week to something heavy that leads to one or both of us crying or laughing. It doesn’t really matter what we talk about. All that matters is that we actually take some time to connect and hear each other’s voice. Somehow one of those talks will do more for me than…

PTSD, Everyone Suffers

Potentially triggering…. Read wit caution……          

I once dated a man with PTSD. I didn’t know before I started dating him. I don’t believe it would have changed my mind. I didn’t even know what PTSD was back then. I thought it was just something you got when you were in the military.  I really liked him and thought I was in LOVE. He was exciting, smart and sexy. He knew so much…

You can also search all legislation currently being proposed on key terms.

 For example, there are currently 38 bills being proposed with the word ‘abortion’ in it. (However, you do kinda have to know what sort of language the bigots in congress use. Any shit on limiting transgender rights for example, will probably not include the word transgender).

My brain can’t even understand how people would agree to get rid of the entire department of education. I can’t.

Life is Looking Up

I should be writing. I have a million thoughts in my head but nope, none of them want to separate from the swirling mess that is my mind. I am sitting here at my writing meetup and all I can think about is how I want to go home and go to bed. Or knit. Or go to bed. Who would have thought switching from a night schedule to a day schedule again would be so hard? Onwards to the positive, I will not…

Table Top RPGs and Friends

There used to be a game shop in the Kingsbay, GA area called Night Games. I am not sure if it was spelled with an N or a Kn but it was a game shop I used to go to often. It was one of the first game shops I ever went inside. I still remember my first visit. I was looking at the games and figurines and these kids came up to me. The started talking to me and I was so confused. I had no idea at all…

Bittersweet News Update

Hello again. I had a fantastic interview! I didn’t get the job. It was such an awesome interview too. I left feeling more than confident. I got the call around 5 pm letting me know that I didn’t get the job but that the company really liked me. I was told I was the finalist before the last interview of the day where they found someone who had industry experience. That was the one thing, I didn’t…

A Bit of Morbid Reality

Is it something with getting older that makes us more aware of our own mortality? I guess it is. I am about six months from turning another one of life’s milestones. Lately, I have been thinking about death a lot. Not in the, I am depressed and suicidal type way, but more in the, I realize death will come for me eventually. I don’t feel ready. I don’t think any of us ever do.

For the past several…

Job & Apartment Hunting - Writing on Hold Mostly

Job & Apartment Hunting – Writing on Hold Mostly

I was asked yesterday if I am going to start writing again. This was a bittersweet question for me. It implied wanting to know why I stopped writing when I just got started back. It suggested that there is at least one person interested in reading what I have to say. I felt guilty for stopping, and happy that my words are not just disappearing into space. The short answer is yes I plan to write,…

Eventually Hope Finds You

Eventually Hope Finds You

I saw something that struck me as remarkably profound. It was while binge-watching a tv show. There was this scene where a person is talking about grief and loss, it spoke about happiness and making plans. There comes this point in your life where you feel like you know what is going on and where you are going. There are things you plan on doing in the future. You pretty much know where you are…

I Want a Digital Relationship

I Want a Digital Relationship

I wish I had a digital relationship. I feel like everything would be awesome. I mean I would have someone to share the day to day things with. I would get to hear all about someone else’s day. I would get to send those cutesy couple pictures and messages, and I would get them too. At night there would be someone to tell me to have sweet dreams, and I would say it too.

Then I would tuck myself…

Hello, I am a Writer and Fiber Artist.

Hello, I am a Writer and Fiber Artist.

I would love to get to a place where I have confidence in myself as a writer and artist. I went out today and met with a group of people. While I was there, I just got so nervous that when someone asked what I do, I said I write stuff. I struggled to even get the words out of my mouth. It was almost like it is a shameful thing to claim to be a writer. I have not published anywhere, and it feels…

Woops!

I accidentally scheduled today’s blog post with yesterday’s date. Whoops! I mean I know I have so many people sitting on the edge of their seats waiting to read my next blog post. I would like to say I am sorry about my goof up. I was upset when I wrote out the blog. I ended up putting the wrong date on the blog. On a positive note, people got to read two new posts in one day. Yay! On the…

Natsu Dragneel Cosplay Costume in Process

Natsu Dragneel Cosplay Costume in Process

When I was younger, I used to make costumes all the time. I loved dressing up and pretending to be someone else. My mom got me started with them actually. I remember she used to play dress up with us. She would make our costumes, and she would even do our makeup. It was so much fun. Those are honestly some of my happiest memories. I wanted to get into cosplay costumes because I miss the fun I…

Coming Soon "Normal" Johanna

Coming Soon “Normal” Johanna

Losses are always hard on me. Always have been. I avoid thinking about what I have lost as much as I possibly can. I don’t know if it is healthy or not but when I think about all the things that are no longer in my life I get really depressed. Lately, I keep being reminded of all those different things in life that are gone.

I try to tell myself that other people have lost something too, or have…

Talked to Kate Bagoy on October 10, 2017

I just had a phone consultation with Kate Bagoy. She was so cool! She told me I was awesome! I feel so freaking pumped! We talked about where I am in life now and where I want to be. Talking about my goals and setting priorities actually feels good.

What do I want out of life? In the grand scheme of things, it is hard to know right now. I do recognize what I want out of my immediate future. First…

Frustration

Frustration seems like a way of life at times. It is a sleepless night, coupled with an early morning and a very long day. Frustration is all the right words, at the wrong times, time never really being right. It is putting yourself out there, and falling flat on your face, when no one even bothered to be there in the first place. Frustration is finally listening and deciding it’s ok asking for…

Writing Paranormal Romance & Job Hunting

Writing Paranormal Romance & Job Hunting

I worked on my paranormal romance today. I was feeling a little guilty because I haven’t been working on my projects these past few days. I have been getting pretty good at daily blogging. I even have a little more than a week buffer, which is excellent for a procrastinator like me.

I have been focusing on finding a job lately. It is tough to return to work when you haven’t worked for several…
