The Moment


It's all one can do,
Love today. 

Love those around you, 
Love them,
Because they, like you,
Will pass away. 
So embrace it, 
Embrace them. 

Be love, 
Love,
Embrace,
Hug,
Draw close,
Work,
Eat,
Live,
Breathe,
Rest, 
Grow,
Pray,
Sit,
Inhale,
Exhale,
Die.

Living with a girl named Borderline Personality Disorder: A Short Tale of My Relationship

Image
You don't believe in me, never have. And, you always leave. Before I ever met you, I made a commitment in my heart and to God, about being honest and faithful and living with integrity. I carved out space for myself to be able to accept what The Lord was about to put in front of me. I envisioned what I wanted, put my goals into focus, then you came along and other things started to fall right into place. There were lots of red flags, mind you, but it was just some dates. There were no big commitments to make, so I went with it.  Our first year was awesome. You were loud and rude and aggressive, but those things I overlooked. Yes you had two kids from two different men, with odd entanglements and you were only 33 at the time. Still, okay, not ideal but, again, it was just hanging out, no big commitments. Then the world shut down. You were on me like a hound. Never wanting to let me spend time alone or a part. Showing up outside of my place, unannounced at times. Okay, you were kind

My Coffee is Warm

This is my truth, the truth that is always true. It has taken me years and years and years to get too. So many hours, so many early mornings, so many coffees, so many places, so much time spent.  Over the years, over the course of my life, things change. I change, my weight changes, my body shape changes, the cities I live in changes. I'm in different states, different countries, different places. I have a lot, then I have nothing. I'm in good health, then I feel sick. Friends and people I meet come and go. Best friends become enemies and enemies have become best friends. Everything changes. I'm married, now I'm divorced. I was raising my kids, now they live someplace else.  It's nice outside, then it's not. A storm rolls in and it's crummy and gloomy, then it's sunny and beautiful. Everything changes.  Times are hard, then they're good. I have bad days, then I have good days. I'm anxious, then I'm at peace. Everything changes. I have been fi

Rugged Where You Are.

Who has time for anyone else's shit? No one. No one has time for anyone else's shit. Nobody has time for that. There are so many hurt people out here with us in the world. They are all around. Everywhere I look, every post I see- there's hurt. Anxieties, mental health issues, traumas, brokenness, chaos, destruction, self destruction, sadness, hurt hurt hurt! So much hurt. So much pain, and anger too. Toxicity, narcissism, manipulations, assaults, abuses of every kind.  So much fucking hurt. And, everyone is carrying this hurt around with them. It's undealt with. So it sits there,  it tucks itself far beneath the surface, far below the skin, past the muscle tissues, it goes past your protective rib cage, it burrows deep into the secret chambers of your heart-the source and machine of your very life. The pump-house to your entire body-your lungs, your veins, your legs, your hands, your eyes, your brain, your feet, every fiber and cell of your life is sourced from your hea
