Your presence still lingers here
This past week has been something else. It has been unlike anything I have experienced before in my life. Even though I already said it, I’ll say it again, my step dad died very unexpectedly in the wee hours of October the 16th. He had had a very successful open heart surgery earlier that week and was the model of a speedy, healthy recovery, but that doesn’t matter. It didn’t...

And on your return, my greatest fear will be that...
And sometimes the house of cards, already unstable crashes despite your best efforts. When it rains, it pours. My stepdad died this morning. I said before that there are times when I want to say something, anything. Now is a time when I have so much to say and want to say nothing.

And so it is just like you said it would be
Sometimes I don’t know what I really want to say, but I know I want to say something. Anything. I need to say something to regain control over my own thoughts when they have been so disturbed. Since this isn’t my first time going through something like this, I keep reminding myself that it will get easier and then eventually it will be better. I’ll feel the world all around me...

If heaven were an hour it would be twilight
There is a time and a place annnnnnnd I would even say a person for everything. For the most part, I am a very passionate emotionally charged person. No matter what emotion or attitude I am carrying, it is big. There is a side of me that if you hang around long enough, you are bound to catch a glimpse of it. Although, people are bound to see it, it is still hard for me to show it. It is a side...

Lady Peaceful, Lady Happy that's who I long to be
I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately. There has been a certain ghost that is haunting me, but I am willing myself to let go of that ghost for good this time. I could go into an explanation of the situation, but I won’t. I have turned it over in my mind and my heart (Forgive the cheesy sentiment) and it all adds up that the reality of the situation is the same. The reality being that...
