  • Take that, uterus! (empowering myself, because I don't need to feel this way every month)

    Take that, uterus! (empowering myself, because I don't need to feel this way every month)

    So. I talked to my clinic and after two years off birth control and trying to get my body back in shape (with, eh, results) and realizing that it’s actually like, still debilitatingly painful – and painkillers don’t always work – and that I’m tired of freaking out every time I’m a day late, and…

  • Desperate, and in need of help

    Desperate, and in need of help

    It’s worth mentioning, in 2010, my parents all but disowned me and I spent 2 weeks crying, in my room, with the lights out, dealing with an amount of intense pain that I had only dealt with once before – in 2008 when my parents told me that I couldn’t see or talk to my…

  • Depression and Spiritual Abuse

    Depression and Spiritual Abuse

    Looking back, it’s no wonder that all of the feelings and self loathing that lead to my depression, brought depression. I was taught that I was worthless, that I should never think well of myself, that I needed to be humble, I was never allowed to show any emotion that was not a plastic smile.…

  • Depression and I (TW: Suicidal Thoughts)

    Depression and I (TW: Suicidal Thoughts)

    I’m going to be doing a series of posts about depression (my depression). I could do one long post but it’d be a small book… I’ve struggled with depression since puberty.

    Random Thoughts In Disjointed Fashion

    1) I haven’t written – truly written, here, in ages and I’m sad about that. Things happened – not good things. Things that sent me spiraling back into dealing with C-PTSD flare ups, a lot of tears, and a lot of fear, and a lot of disappointment and unsafe feelings. I write poetry on my…

  • {{Radio Silence}}

    {{Radio Silence}}

    I haven’t been writing or drawing. Life happened and took with it all of my energy and some of my resolve. I’m putting pieces back together now. Itching to draw Afraid of writing.

  • Untitled post 4035

    Sometimes I feels like my very existence, because I am female is threatened (by people who want to shame and control me because of my biology). I don’t like this feeling. Oh, that I were a man!

  • Stuff and Things

    Stuff and Things

    Well I didn’t make it into the next round of the Geek and Sundry Vlogs. All of the voter contributions were wonderful (and thank you so much)! I just must not have been what they were looking for. Still, It was worth trying, even in just learning the amount of people that I’ve been able…

  • And Now, We Wait

    And Now, We Wait

    I finished in 11th place when voting ended – which is really good as I was still in the top 30. The 30 who move on will be judged on multiple factors, voting is just one of them (so placing is no guarantee) but I also got a lot of likes and comments and views…
