Writing

When I started this blog, I wanted to express my thoughts, opinions, poetry and anything else I saw fit to write about. I came at this somewhat therapeutically, mixed with creativity and always honest. I have been writing for the better part of 20 years, poetry, short stories, I have even attempted a novel or […]

Let’s Talk

Depression, anxiety, turmoil looks different on everyone. Everyone’s grass looks greener when you think you only have dirt.

Need me

In the dead of night, when the silence is deafening and you feel like all hope is gone. That’s when you will need me the most. When the pain becomes to much to bare and the walls start caving in. That’s when you need me the most. When happiness is but a memory long faded […]
