Twenty-five years of being lost, going down the wrong road, laughing it off, faking a smile, and then writing about it.
I was born and raised in Connecticut and recently graduated from Cal. State, Fullerton . . . what happened in between all of that, will bleed through my entries.
What will happen after? Well . . .
. . . I’ll let you know.
I’m not sure where I’m going, but if you’d like to tag along, I know some good jokes . . . kinda.

Siri, directions to home
Going to college in California was the most selfish thing that I have ever done
It taught me that being selfish is not always a bad thing
That ‘selfish’ is not a bad word
And that I may feel bad sometimes, but I am not a bad person.

Writing in Yellow
I am not very versed in writing about things that are positive, or things that make me happy.
I am good at going through something, and trying to find meaning in it.
Perspective
I can stand here and know that I wasn’t enough.
That I’d never be enough, no matter how hard I tried.
My therapist tells me that it’s not my fault, but the voice in my head tells me it is.
Took me a while to realize that the voice in my head was NOT my voice,
and that you really shouldn’t let people inside who weren’t invited.
Everybody dance NOW!
If there is no time in between, no leading up to the finale…
you’d just be the last VHS of the Titanic with no story… (do any of you even know what a VHS tape is/that Titanic took up three of them?)
Anyway..

No, I didn’t want this to happen.
Yes, I saw it coming.

And yes, it is ok to change my mind.

She is seven and I am twenty-five and somewhere in between two-ish decades, the dictionary changed for me.

f it never got dark,
If we never had bad days,
If we never closed our eyes,
We wouldn’t know what stars were.
We would never dream.
Dear mom and dad,
They name hurricanes after people for a reason.
They predict a storm: people either choose to evacuate or stay
Aka
The doctors give a diagnosis, parents/friends/family either choose to leave or stay. Ignore or support.
