• Drenched in Moonlight, Chapter One

  

  Alyona leaned back in her chair and resisted the urge to tap her fingers on the desk. So, it is you, you hateful little bitch, she thought as she coolly regarded the sixteen-year-old girl standing before her. “Show me your hand.” Talia demanded. Her dark spiteful eyes were narrowed, uncertainty danced across her delicate features […]

• My Week in Writing

  I began my week writing Mathew’s Box which I really, really enjoyed. My focus lately has been on blogging, life-writing, and autobiographies for work. It was wonderful to sink my toes back into the foundation of my love for writing – fiction, tinged with a touch of the supernatural. It was pretty work-heavy after that, […]

• The Last Shift

  

  Today’s the day. I first entered employment at seventeen-years-old simply because my mother needed financial help. I continued to work hard at college and do well in my A-levels during the day, and then in the evenings and weekends I would go to work in a grocery store working on a checkout and bringing home […]

• Isolation

  

  Understanding the Narcissist He made me feel completely alone in this world. I am still unpacking the how and the why of that in my therapy sessions. None of it was overt, which is why it’s so difficult to unravel, I think. At no point was I ever expressly told not to have friends, not […]

• Happy Birthday To Me

  

  My thinking has been completely reframed as the day progressed. I woke up already entrenched in my trauma responses, choking on anxiety and this enduring feeling of unworthiness. The pattern of abuse that I have previously been exposed to doesn’t exist anymore. This post tracks my thought processes, and my awakening as I stepped out […]

• Living Like A Two Year Old

  What if we all choose to live like a two-year-old? He runs full force at huge puddle. He doesn’t worry about what will come after. He isn’t concerned about wet socks and cold feet. He is anticipating joy, laughter, and experience. The thrill of the splash. The squeal of his laughter. The future is coming […]
