There seems to be a running theme going on with my loved ones and, well, not-so-loved-ones. It's this constant need for people to project fantasy into their relationships because they just can't face reality. For example, you (this is the royal you, as I have no desire to put others' personal problems on display) have a relationship with someone. ( Read more... )

I've only been in therapy for about 6 weeks now. Of course I've done the therapy thing before, but it's been years. Anyway, I'm happy to say that this time around I feel like I'm truly making progress.

Happy 2012 LJers! Hope everyone enjoyed ringing in the new year. My sweetness and I had a mellow celebration with the kiddos. I made a ton of junk food and we watched movies.

As I previously mentioned, the past few years have been a bumpy ride, with the past year being the bumpiest, and the past month being pure turbulence. Ok, maybe I didn't quite put it that way before, but I'm pretty sure you all get the picture. One of the things I've been working on is trying to keep a more positive attitude. Something that can be ( Read more... )

I strayed. I changed. I grew. I failed. I succeeded. I hurt. I smiled. I cried ( Read more... )

So, yesterday's site troubles seem to be cleared up today. This is the LJ I remember. *deep breath* Ahhhhhhh ( Read more... )

It's been more than a year since I last posted. I'm not sure what exactly triggered my desire to come poking back around, but here I am. I have been very active over on FaceBook, so I just figured to hell with LJ. But because of a few busybody drama llamas I had to make my FB private and "unfriend" most of the horror writing community. So where ( Read more... )
