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 […]

Him
In response to The Daily Three Things challenge. Silence, Quieten, Sedate. Reality collapses in. Thoughts that are not my own start tumbling across the surface of my mind like debris lashing around in a tornado. I reach for him. He is the silence amongst the storm, he is the calm when the noise becomes unbearable. […]

Cathartic Writing
Today, I wanted to share a technique that I’ve started using, on the advice of my therapist, for releasing intrusive thoughts. Because of my history and my trauma I do suffer with anxiety and I am sometimes caught off guard by thoughts that don’t belong to me. This can come in the form of feeling […]

Chaos Continues
In the chaos that cycled around her, just for a moment she surrendered. Shoulders slumped, eyelids heavy, reality suspended. The world trickled off her like a rain shower in the spring. Instinct dragged her towards him, all her resistance dissolved. His hand, a slow pressure on her lower back. The warmth of him. Rough fingertips […]

Merely Mortal, Chapter Four
Luke was still nowhere to be found. Harriet paid for a taxi back to Gran’s flat and Alli gave the address to the driver. The journey took thirty minutes and Harriet sat in silence for the entire time, her gaze cast out and watching the streets as they rolled by. Alli studied her aunt’s countenance […]

Dangerous
A nightmare clings in the furious silence. Shadows reach as her imagination bends. There is a racing stillness in the twilight hours. Wickedness creeps with a lonely caress. Anything is possible. Everything is dangerous. Now there is a warmth beside her. He slings his arm across her, heavy and hard. She is soothed, content. She […]

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 […]
