Yesterday marked the notarization and mailing of the final step in the divorce paperwork. As far as complex but ultimately for-the-better endings go, this feels somehow still anticipatory. When the courts call it official, I hope the… I don’t know, relief I tried to cultivate finally lands. I don’t mean to sound heartless either –… Continue reading

Blog: 14 Days, 13 More

TW: mental health, self-harm, suicide flavored stuff Reading between the lines of my blogs and poetry, it’s likely apparent if anyone is reading that, given my choices to take control of my life, I have endured something like 3 solid months of painful endings.

Blog: Into July’s Slip

The last leg of the journey complete, I’ve docked for the remainder of the month – pending my work insisting I head to Germany for a few weeks this month or next. My only real concern anymore is the well-being of this sweet pup who has been so brave to make it so far from… Continue reading
