Oh yes. I love feeling like I'm going to die if I Oh yes. I love feeling like I'm going to die if I don't get my story out, then sitting down to write and being unable to get a single word on the page, then eating an entire Digiorno pizza before I cry myself to sleep. It's so fun. ​​​​​​​​

My greatest enemy #amwriting #writer #writingcomed My greatest enemy #amwriting #writer #writingcomedy #comedy #writer
Not long ago, I found these lonely pieces,​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
 longing for a connection, they wanted to become whole.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
As they wished, I connected the pieces​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
with careful hands, I built the puzzle​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
And it brought us joy, But…​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I don’t know about you, but when I close my eyes,​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
 ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
 I find myself tangled in a memory.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Tangled in threads of the good old days​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
 when it was the four of us… (Our good old days)​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
 Just to avoid the pain this blighted puzzle has brought me​​​​​​​​

FEATURED: THE MOTH BY JESSICA JONES ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
"They weren’t egg shells she was walking on, it was glass. She had to repress the pain that came to her throat to avoid being heard. Tip toeing. One foot, then the next. Closing her eyes, holding her breath. Children should be seen, not heard. Those who have anything intelligent to say, are silent, the voice said to her. This was a theme she carried throughout her adulthood. Repressing her voice, keeping it quiet, being seen and not heard. Although she never felt seen either. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
As a child, she was raised in a toxic environment. There was lots of yelling, name calling, her father was an alcoholic, her mother an enabler and a codependent. They would get into these brutal fights where plates were smashed, holes were punched in the wall, doors were ripped off the frames. They would scream at each other, β€œYou ignorant bitch! You fucking asshole!” She would hide in her room, or turn the TV up just a little louder. There were a few times where her mom tried to leave her dad, and her dad would plead for her to call her mom and beg her to come home and take him back. . . " ​​​​​​​​
