Oh Diddy...
When Cassieās lawsuit hit, there was some shock, not because of the allegations, but because she actually filed. Rape and physical abuse. The internet went nuts. Because a womanās trauma, well it never just belongs to her. The whole world has to weigh in. To tell her what she did wrong. Ask her why she stayed. Yeah. They always ask that. Why did she stay? Diddy settled that one within recordā¦

Wasn't My Fault
The first time, I told people. I was a kid, under 10. That should have been it, right? Nope. It wasnāt. At least to my knowledge it wasnāt. If my daughter came to me, at any age, to tell me that some man, well, did what was done to me, Iād kill him. Flat out, Iād kill him. The second time. Hmmm, thatās harder. I knew him since I was young. He knew the first story. The first story was a joke, toā¦

He Called it Love. Nope. Wasn't Love
He told me he had been in love with me. āMan, I was so in love with you. I told my wife. I had to get out of that place.ā I wanted to believe it. But I also knew that Me Too had been a thing. We were looking at sexual relationships differently. Did I want him arrested? His life ruined? No. Did I want some acknowledgment that what happened was wrong? Messed my life up? Yes. Then I think of itā¦

Groomers and Gaslighting
If you are 34 and engage, or attempt to engage an underage person into a sexual relationship, you are a pedophile. No? What if said 34 year old person has known the underage person since they were 10? Maybe before 10, maybe shortly after, but definitely during adolescence. Is there ever a scenario where you know someone from 10 up, as an adult, and ever think that sex is in the future? Betweenā¦

The Victims of Assault and the SupremeĀ Court
The first time someone attempted to rape or sexually abuse me, I was, well, I donāt remember the actual age, but it was under 10. He told me he had a snake. He pulled my bathing suit to the side and told me where he wanted to put his snake. I donāt know why, but I had the, is confidence the right word?, whatever it was, to tell him I was out. And I ran out and told grownups. For years, it wasā¦

Triggers
Triggers. I hate that word. I hate it because I feel like I should be stronger. Isnāt that silly? That a victim of sexual assault, of grooming, of any kind of sexual abuse, or really any abuse, should be stronger. When I was a little girl, I donāt remember how old, a way older neighbor was playing some sort of game with many of us from the neighborhood. He brought me into a tent and said we wereā¦

2020 ā The Good, The Bad, TheĀ Ugly
2020 has been horrific. I mean, it started off ok, but thenā¦, well, do I have to say it? So I promised the good, the bad, and the ugly, but it may have been a false promise. Havenāt we had enough ugly? I could go on and on about Congress and $600 stimulus checks, but Iām feeling something else. Iām a big proponent of the whole when life throws you lemons thing, even when I just want to throwā¦

My Vote
Today was the first day to vote early where I live. I stood in line. Standing in line was new to me. Iāve voted since I turned 18. I have never had to wait in line before. Some would say that shows my privilege.
Over the years I have voted both sides of the aisle. I have been a registered Democrat and a registered Republican. I have voted across both of those registrations. Today I am aā¦

With Age Comes....?
With Age Comesā¦.?
Today I ate almost an entire loaf of Italian bread. I should mention that it actually wasnāt Italian, it was a French loaf, but, it is the bread I have bought for years, and served when I make sauce. I try to make sauce every week, but life gets in the way.
So. Life.
One day I was in labor, for all of two hours. The next I was dancing with that kid at his wedding. It is still all a blur.

L G B TĀ Q
There are people I love who also happen to be gay. Times have changed. Unfortunately, not as much as Iād like, but, when I was growing up, being gay was a more difficult thing than it is today. I heard kids I grew up with called the āfā word. Hurling āgayā as if it was a dirty word was acceptable. It was something that could be devastating, especially for those who were not gay.

COVID and the Single Girl,I meanĀ Woman
My kids have recently reminded me of my single status. It is a status that I have been very comfortable with. I mean, I havenāt been a nun, but, I havenāt really been out looking. And then my daughter decided that I should try online dating.
Please spare me the āI met the love of my life on Matchā stories. Iām sure it has happened. It is just not my thing.
Still, I tried it. For less thanā¦

This quarantine sucks. I know Iām not the only one tired of being stuck in the house. Even with phases moving us into a little foray into Home Goods, weāre still basically locked down. The hard part is, well, there are a lot of hard parts, but the part where I canāt go to work or the gym or to a restaurant, or any of the things Iād go do to not be sitting home dwelling, well those are hard parts.ā¦

Breaking Down Great in America
Breaking Down Great inĀ America
This pains me to write. No. Really. I always try to see all sides. Even when I disagree, I try to see all sides. But this make America great thing? Well, first off, the first four years. Did it happen? I guess not if it is a campaign slogan. Again.
I love America. I think we are the greatest country in the world. I donāt say that as some kind of, well, I hate to even say it, because, well,ā¦

The New COVID-19 Normal
Today I put on my facemask and gloves. I hate writing that, but it is what I did before going into a store to buy things like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, food, toilet paper, oh, and a luxury item, a Kit Kat bar. Well, because sometimes when youāre locked away from everything, you could use a little wafer mixed with chocolate.
Iām not a selfie kind of person, but I took one because it felt beyondā¦

COVID-19-ADDICTION-FAMILIES
Today was Easter, our first one in lockdown. I did a drive-by birthday parade for my brother with my siblings. I cooked some fish. I wished some friends a happy. I went on social media and liked a few things. And then I sent a text to a kid, well, heās not a kid anymore, but heāll always be a kid to me. He grew up in my house.
Not long ago I was told that he wasnāt doing so well. I was given hisā¦

Life in Quarantine
It is only day 587 of this quarantine. My liver is probably gone. Iāve done some questionable things, from a social distance. And Iāve taken time to reflect on my life. Yeah. Great stuff.
First I will say this one thing. Thank God this shit didnāt happen when my kids were younger. I miss them being young. I miss little hands and sweet moments, but, how I thank God regularly that Iām not locked inā¦

Getting Through Corona
There is a possibility that I was wrong. Mark down the date because I am never wrong. But this Coronavirus, well, it got me. No, not as in I have it, but that initially I wasnāt worried.
