“Then… my toxicity started demanding attention and my thoughts shifted to the envy I felt towards the trees on the trail. They’ll never know what it feels like for another tree to judge its bark…and the intrusion of that thought had me in a chokehold.”

“…the majority of our society has been conditioned to share the same socially accepted viewpoints of what ‘normal’ behavior is. I enjoy being in the minority because I know ‘normal’ is an ideal…that no one has attained.”

“I’m the creator of many motion pictures…that all live in my mind. I’m the main character in all these films and my cast is composed of the same archetypes…but the humans that these personas show up in change regularly.“

“Growing up, I had a hand full of extremely detailed diaries…but my ‘mother’ used to put things in storage and forget they existed. So all memories of my childhood are gone. ”

“Organized religion is what my siblings and I were raised on, but as I got older I started to realize how much of a crutch that form of believing is for those who prefer to sit back and wait for someone else to solve their issues.”

“I almost allowed my emotions to get the best of me earlier because my one woman army is exhausted with the silence I continue to receive from my ‘family’. It was more hopeful when I was arguing with my siblings because at least then there was dialogue. Now I’m back to being ignored…“

“I’ve been a huge advocate for those who are currently childless…to remain that way. I honestly feel like there are enough kids without parents in this world, and adding to the Earth’s bodycount is unnecessary.“

“or the last few years I’ve been screaming, to anyone who’ll listen, that my immediate ‘family’ has been conspiring to sacrifice me. The ultimate goal has seemed to be the complete deterioration of my mental health, which would either lead to my self-imposed death or the immobilization of my mind…which is still a death in itself.”

“I hate to be the one to dismiss her hurt feelings…especially when I’m the cause of it. But the timing of her plea for pity was offensive. Because it told me that they’re still using the youth of our family as pawns…in order to exact revenge on me for my past behavior.”

“And because I was speaking to…myself…I allowed my imagination to do what I think it was created to do…create impossibilities in hopes that my mind’s mind remembers I’m just cos playing a human being....and I still have the capability of living outside of the constraints of this reality…whenever I choose to.”
