This Easter was a hard one for me so far. On Friday, I saw a headline out of the corner of my eye, "When Easter feels like Good Friday." I had a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. As I crawled through lent this year, my refrain was, Easter is almost here, Easter... Continue Reading →
The Silence
For the last few weeks, I've barely posted on here. I felt guilty and I insulted myself for it, but it wasn't until tonight that I realized what I was doing. I have a bad habit of getting too caught up in what everyone else thinks about me. We have all heard that one, I... Continue Reading →
My Worst Nightmare
I had every writers worst nightmare happen to me today. I got a good look at everything I don't have. I don't have writing credits, I don't have many connections, I don't have time, I don't have so many things it hurts. I posted my own rec post, but I don't know that it's really... Continue Reading →

Please Accept Me
That was an overshare once again, If I was poised enough I would have made a joke about it. Sorry I didn't mean to get too serious again, I'm really not that funny. I promise I'm not obsessed with myself, Or am I? No one likes being around me. Why do I always seem to... Continue Reading →
What the New York Abortion Bill Meant to Me
When I found out I was pregnant with Emma, my husband walked away from me, went upstairs and blared slipknot. I trembled downstairs in fear. When I was pregnant with Emma, my husband and I fought every single day. These were not little, meaningless spats. They were screaming arguments, "How are we going to pay... Continue Reading →
Ecstasy
Have you ever felt so much pleasure that you thought your entire body might explode? Have you ever stopped being intimate because you were afraid you might not be able to handle what was coming?

Searching for a Home
Today, I got up all bright and peppy excited for a day of submitting my work. I labored for hours over my lists of places to submit and realized I don't know where I fit. I've published some amazing stuff in mediocre ways, and I have work I'm proud of that no one has seen.... Continue Reading →
