Greetings and salutations!!! Well, let's get down to brass tacks. I promised that I'd write about the e-mail that I took forever to read from SK. So here goes. But first a bit of background. I think we imprint the behaviour we are guilty of onto others. Partially as a defence mechanism, and partially because... Continue Reading →
Tales From the Couch: Part 7
Greetings and salutations! Another difficult session with a lot of uncomfortable truths and theories that I need to confront and dive into. It's hard to know where to begin, so I'll choose a spot and let it flow organically from there. Fear. I think that's a huge thing with me. Fear of getting hurt, fear... Continue Reading →
It’s Over. AGAIN.
Greetings and salutations!! I'm such a hot mess of contradictions today and was the same yesterday. Emotions and feelings all running rampant, and logic and passion trying to keep everything in check. UGH. It's exhausting UGH. That's how I feel, and I'm sticking with it. So, if you've read through my blog, you will be... Continue Reading →
Tales From the Couch: Part 6- Unwelcome insights
Greetings and salutations. Another difficult session, but with more insights that I'm going to have to take in order to get better. So, we talked about the angry letter that I wrote, and my disconnect between the tone and how I felt about SK, and why I was having difficulty seeing it! My therapist asked... Continue Reading →
Rage!!
Greetings and salutations! It's been a while since I've blogged. I've been thinking. Rage, anger, etc. It is a required and necessary emotion, and yet, if taken too far, can cause a lot of damage to oneself and personal relationships with loved ones, family, etc. The reason I'm writing this is not because I have...

Tales From The Couch: Part 5
Greetings and salutations. This was a contentious session. Normally I pretty much agree with my therapist and follow her suggestions because they reveal something that I haven't seen in my life or circumstances, but can see it when it's pointed out to me. The reason why this session was contentious was because she pointed out... Continue Reading →
Forgiveness and Second Guessing
Greetings and salutations. Hey, hope y'all had a happy Easter. Anyway, on to the meat of the post. As most of you know, I've had a rough go with an interpersonal/friendship/relationship crisis which has lead me to cut off contact for almost two months now while I figure out my feelings, and how to deal...

Paris: My visit as an 18 year old. Chapter 1, a teen in mourning.
Bonjour and Salutations! The awful tragedy of Notre Dame on fire allowed me to recall some of my memories of Paris during my travels. I've travelled a lot in my life, at least I think so, but Paris was the first trip without the family. It was with my school's French club, and I was... Continue Reading →
Special K
Greetings and salutations! It's been a while. Very busy week, very craptastic week, if I'm being honest, so here's hoping that this short week coming up is going to be a blessing. Yay for Good Friday, in both the secular and religious spheres of thought. Anyway, on to the meat of the post. Special K.... Continue Reading →
Dismiss What Offends Your Own Soul.
Greetings and salutations!!! Full head of steam tonight! I think one of the things that I'm learning is to reframe my relationships between friends, romantic partners and colleagues at work. I have to set appropriate boundaries so that things go well. Walt Whitman, who's one of my favourite poets, had this to say about living... Continue Reading →
