Random rantings of the misfit kind.
Oh, to be a Millennial. Which of course, I barely know anything about. I'm literally on the cusp of the Millennial movement, stuck in between the end of Gen X and the first year of the Millennial generation. Early 80's babies, we don't really connect with those who were born in the 70's, and we... Continue Reading →
I grew up in a household with five other siblings, three being younger than me, and I can recall despising the concept of sharing. I would look at the adults and think, none of THEM are sharing - why do I have to? I would go to school and balk at the kids wanting to borrow... Continue Reading →
The other day, I had the most amazing discussion with an older woman, in her early 80s, named Joyce M. I met her at an alteration shop, and she watched as I tried on my bridesmaid dress, waiting to be pinned. She told me how beautiful it was, and we chatted about her wedding, and... Continue Reading →
It's very easy to run away from and avoid the reality of our lives. It's even easier to harbor hatred and feigned indifference, than it is to examine ourselves and determine the role we've played in the demise of something that was once deemed important and beautiful. Hatred is not a clear-cut emotion, but is... Continue Reading →
**cue up the New Edition record**. So many songs about love...what it feels like, what it sounds like, hell, what it tastes like. It isn't a negative emotion, experience, feeling. The very essence of love is in the fact that it denotes positivity and freedom. Love is freedom. Love makes you feel like anything is possible.... Continue Reading →
It is soooo absolutely easy to give out great advice. You listen to the other person so thoughtfully, you run the situation through in your head, you try to be objective and look at both sides of the story, and then you dole out equally thoughtful, objective guidance. You know what's even easier though? To... Continue Reading →
Something has been on my mind for the last couple of weeks. It's been weighing very heavily...so heavily that I haven't been able to shape my thoughts enough around the subject to begin writing. And it's not something super serious, but it's something super important. I get my inspiration for my posts in the most... Continue Reading →
Yeah, yeah, another post about being single. But this is a serious one. Soooo serious. You never realize how many things you take for granted when you're a part of a couple, especially when it's all you've known for ten or more years. Obviously, when you get that far, you just assume that it's going to... Continue Reading →
Every once in a while, we meet someone who seems to speak to our soul - perhaps even sing to it. And we try so hard to make that person fit into the vision of our future, ignoring the red flags, the doubts, the things we considered deal-breakers with others. For some reason, something in...

Dating, in this day in age, is difficult (as I've said in other posts, I'm sure, of which I'm also sure you're sick of hearing, but eh). Throw some kids in the mix, and you're just asking to be single until those little ones go off to college. Child-less people feel weird entertaining others with children,... Continue Reading →
