rehabbing.
It’s been 6 months. In that time a lot has happened, a lot hasn’t happened, and yeah…I’m still waiting on some things to happen. The basics are still the same: my son, work, grad school, the bf, family issues. I’ve stopped writing in my journal.

the truth about the truth.
i am having trouble writing my second zine. i know it is because the topic i want to explore this time is darker than anything i’ve ever written about before. it’s a topic that was so covered in pain and despair that at times it became almost unspeakable. in the past writing about it or … Continue reading »
