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 end up frozen and defeated and feeling less than alive, and quite often wonder if my brother made the better decision by ending his suffering. Knowing what I... Continue Reading →
Horses as our teachers
Happy Saturday! How is everyone feeling? This little meme made me giggle due to how much truth is in it. Not sure how many know my story on why I decided to join the horse community and the major things I’ve learned about myself since fully immersing in it. My employment history consists of an...

The Basics
My brother took his life in 2009, he had finally had enough of the noise running through his head. He’d spent his whole life protecting me from the pain he’d endured without knowing I suffered as well. Since his passing I’ve learned the truth about the trauma he endured. I was traumatized too but because... Continue Reading →
Letters to my brother 1
My Dearest Brother, It’s been so long since we’ve had one of our talks I decided to continue them the only way I know how and that’s through writing.

The Truth Will Set You Free
As an adult child of toxic parents, the best advice I could give another person would be to look at others as they are, not how you wish they would be. As children we tend to put our parents on pedestals and dismiss every toxic behavior they have, because we are taught at an early... Continue Reading →
Every Day is a New Day
It appears I’m no longer motivated to write, I want to write, I want to share my thoughts but I don’t because I seem to be just as toxic as the world I complain about so I don’t because it makes me seem like a hypocrite. I’ve had a lot of weird things happen that... Continue Reading →
The Struggle Is Real
Have you ever had one of those days where it feels like it would be better to not exist? A day where you wonder where your loved ones would be if you never existed in the first place? A day where you regret your entire life? A day where you wonder why you are here... Continue Reading →
The Quiet One
Do you know a person who is exceptionally quiet? The shy one, the wallflower, the one who just doesn’t say much? I think most of us have met someone like that. I think a lot of humans out there look at the quiet one as the weaker of the group, it seems easy to do.... Continue Reading →
