Have you ever had someone in your life who keeps tabs on your life better than you do? I’m pretty sure we have all had something similar at some point in our life, whether the intentions were good or bad we’ve all been subjected to someone who was minding our business more than their own....

It Wasn’t Luck
When I moved closer to Boise in 2009 I was excited to be closer to the city that held most of the states concerts. Music meant a lot to my brother so to honor him I chose to attend concerts. Tickets were out of my budget so I chose a few special shows to attend... Continue Reading →
It’s Dark
I crashed this last week, it was quietly sneaking up on me and when it caught up, I fell. Hard. For those new to my site, I created this space so I could share my thoughts and feelings about losing my brother to suicide and how it’s affected me, and to share the things that... Continue Reading →
They started it
Looking back through my life and trying to figure out how and where to start my story has been really difficult for me to do. It would be easy to write out that my dad abandoned my brother and I and my mom completely ignored us unless there was an audience but that doesn’t go... Continue Reading →
Collateral Damage
Gosh, it’s sure been a while since I’ve written. It’s like the further I go into healing from my childhood the less I write about it.

I have found through my own healing and my own journey of self reflection that sometimes... Continue Reading →
What happened to us?
I hope everyone is holding up out there in the world! Times are exceptionally crazy right now, fear is at an all time high, anger is extreme and most everyone just wants the world to go back to normal. What the heck is "normal" at this point in time? I was scrolling on the Facebooks... Continue Reading →
Weird, Awkward and Misunderstood
Titled appropriately as great descriptions of myself from myself. Oh, don’t try to tell me I’m not all of those things because I know I am. I have a rare personality which makes me appear to be all of those things to those who don’t know me, I used nice terms compared to what I’ve... Continue Reading →
