Memoirs Of The In-Between: Chapter 8
Chapter 8 I awoke with Kora kneeling over me, Shion opened and colored wind swirling about me in hues of pink and blue. The girl was gritting her teeth, her eyes closed in concentration. I felt heavy, and for several minutes I couldn’t even muster the energy to open my mouth to speak to her. It would take several moments to get the strength to groan out her name. The wind stopped and her brown eyes opened and looked down at me in what I assumed to be relief.

Memoirs Of The In-Between: Chapter 7
Chapter 7 “Leon? What is it?” I heard myself asking, confused. His expression was drawn tight, his dark eyes piercing through the room from the doorway he had burst through. I got up, making sure to secure Estrakulius to me quickly.

Dear Disrespectful Racist. Content Warning.
Dear Narcissistic POS, It all started when you came out of training at a job. I had offered a hand to help set up your desk, so you didn’t have to get onto the floor. I did it for all the older people who were in your training class. I’m not sure how we became friends by only having small talk back and forth when I was helping around the call center when there weren't enough supervisors.

When The Devil Comes To Collect Your Debt. Content Warning.
I have written articles about recognizing abusive situations. I have talked in various articles about my past relationships while I was a traumatized, co-dependent, trauma-bonded youngling. I haven't in a while, because sometimes when your abuser lives nearby it sometimes creates a fear that keeps you from talking and sharing your full story. Especially when your abuser has a pretty well-off family who could and WOULD hurt you in various ways if they truly wanted to.

Things You Will Need To Start Raising Chickens
Raising chickens for eggs is one way to make your home a little more self-sustaining. In an effort to reduce food costs and perhaps even help contribute financially, I started a little homestead. It was a slow project, and is still ongoing since the things you need for homesteading require a pretty penny.

Dear Staff and Cast Of Critical Role
To Critical Role - Staff and Cast I wanted to handwrite this letter so it was more personal, but frankly, my handwriting is… terrible. It’s atrocious. Really. And what I have to say means a lot to me, so I really want you to be able to read it. So first and foremost, thank you for taking the time to read this stupid typed letter.

Goodness Is Weakness. Content Warning.
While I Slept Last Night, The Real Me Held The Waking Me Hostage I wasn't bound or gagged. I was sitting in a dark room that was lit by dim bulbs, and viscera dripped from the ceiling to the floor. It wasn't the intestines and seared and ragged flesh that lined the walls as curtains or the exsanguination of random limbs littered on the floor that told me it was a nightmare. It wasn't the blood and guts that oozed from the walls endlessly that told me that it was all a very bad dream. Those things are in every dream. I am unbothered by the gore of my mind.

Were You REALLY Surprised By The 2024 Election?
We all know what a joke our presidential elections have been for the last 12 years. It's been a bad road circus with rodeo clowns running the show, and they ONLY had a trapeze act. We keep this statement exactly as it is, and almost ALL Americans can agree with each other.
