Grieving a Selfish World
June 2024
Everyone is struggling in some shape or form. I’m overwhelmed by the grief I feel every day for friends, family, humankind, the earth. Have we learned nothing? Has the pandemic created such short term thinking that everyone is just out for themselves? I’m disgusted by it. I feel helpless a majority of the time. They say that you can only impact what’s immediately around you. This is true, but does this even put a dent in the problems?

My Father’s Distance
January 2024
I hate that I dont have a good relationship with my dad. We’re just too opposite. I’m optimistic and joyful. He’s just mean. A mean man. A man who never allowed himself any joy or truth. Always the victim to an unkwown and undeserving victor. I grieve those few and fleeting moments when he would let his guard down and could show me he loved me.

Midlife (Friendship) Crisis
November 2019
Have you ever had a friend break up with you? In your 40s? It happened to me. My friends were getting divorced, and I tried not to choose sides. Unfortunately, she didn’t think I succeeded. I can’t remember everything that was said, since I was a blubbering mess, sobbing into the phone. The only words I clearly remember are her blaming my husband and me for the divorce. She accused us of causing trouble with our partying ways. There was trouble in paradise well before we came into the picture. F*ck you for your delusion.

Every Dog Has Its Day
December 2017
We're getting a divorce. Again. But this time it's for real, and I can barely see straight. The "trauma trim" has me slipping back into my old clothes—a trivial win, I suppose. Walking through our house feels like drifting through a ghostly version of my former life. Every room, every piece of furniture strikes a nerve, sending me into deep, soap opera-like fits of tears. How do I start over? I don't quite know yet, but it's inevitable, and I must. So here's to turning forty, ready or not. Now to tell the dogs.
