Judgement in Every Drop

So, anyone who’s been reading my recent posts on this site knows that I’ve been sick this week.  Really sick.  I thought that I’ve had a really bad cold, but now that I’m starting to finally feel better, I’m ready to admit that I most likely had the flu.  Ugh.  It knocked me out.  I’ve…

Well, I asked….

Me:  Hey, why do you think it is we’re still single? Me Again:  Maybe it’s because we’re talking to each other.

Ugh.  Being sick sucks.  I am typically an optimist.  But when I get sick, that half-full crap goes right out the window.  It’s like I feel like I’ll feel this way forever.  I’m hopeless.  It’s awfully sad.  It’s also short-sighted, stupid, ignorant, and (not to mention) shamelessly selfish.  I’d like to think that maybe the…

My Past and I

So I had a dream where I could fly But the only one who knew was My Past My Past was gentle and kind and we had lots of secrets together   We tried to get away from the others.  He protected me. I climbed up the fence-building and jump-sailed down He distracted them from…
