there’s no point in even breaking out my mileage this week. i can sum it up in one short four mile run. toss in a 14 mile bike ride and a 40 minute deep water run and that’s all she wrote. the run was simply a test of the achilles and it failed. pain set [...]

the road less traveled

i broke a rule i hold firm. crossed a line i didn’t even realize i was toeing. it was awkward at first. uncomfortable and uncertain footing in a new place that redefined things. i instantly regretted and wished it back, my common sense screaming at me to understand the potential repercussions. i vowed to stop [...]

i know that we’re not unique. every family has its issues. the black sheep, the skeletons hiding in the closet, the blame and strained relationships. sometimes i feel mine might very well be the epitome of dysfunctional but i’m sure most i were to ask, would feel the same about their own.
my brother is a [...]

i have a crush. as random and schoolgirl a statement that may seem, it’s a huge milestone to me and i want to scream it from the nearest roof top to who ever will listen. it’s been a really rough road for me since boston. he’s a heartache i never quite recovered from and i’ll readily admit it’s [...]

tonight i fully came to realize that i have a heart. it’s caring and true and will always offer purity to those that don’t take advantage of its lingering innocence.
tonight i fully came to realize how lost some people truly are. how sadly shut off they can be from the beauty of self-actualization, honesty and [...]

there are a handful of things i readily claim to be good at ~ very good at ~ and one of those things is self-assessment. having grown up with a shrink for a father, i learned at a very young age to attempt to determine why i behave certain ways. as much as i hated it as [...]

i let him into my words. invited him here to read some of what i do not share. i let him into my heart. ignored warnings and honest advice i should have heeded. it’s not his fault. i saw the writing on the wall blog. heard the words he spoke. yet still i chose to believe i had [...]

another year has come to a close and a new one has begun. i’m optimistic. i’m energized. i’m excited … i’m full of shit!
i’m not sure why i find the way we choose to celebrate the arrival of a new year so asinine. i’ve never felt the excitement and allure as so many do. maybe it’s [...]
