Dancing Queen to Dairy Queen: A Tale of Sweet Salvation As most little girls, I craved adoration. I have both vague, and vivid memories of experiencing joy at a young age.

Original Facebook Post – August 28, 2015 6:30AM Yesterday I was addressed as “Sir”, multiple times, by a team member that is usually in the same work center as the woman who implied that I am Transgendered a few weeks ago. I think this has now become an actual thing. I know that some of …
The Lame Chick starts anew.
Blank canvas. Clean slate. Vast abyss at my fingertips. I would like nothing more than to fill you with my love. To burden you with my pain. Seek out your wisdom in a world of fools. But there is much to lose. And things far too precious to gain. The war within is raging. So …

From the Archive: A Day of Compassion
Original Facebook Post – September 24, 2013 My final assignment for my Social Psychology class required me to complete and document a Day of Compassion…where we had to live more compassionately for a 24 hour period.

The Lame Chick: Rooted
As I take my first steps out of the Port Authority in New York City, I am instantaneously reminded of what it’s like to be alive. The air is charged with an electricity that evokes the wonderment of childhood, and the excitement of adventure. Every twitch of the eye is met with, not just …
Through The Veil
Through The Veil Virtually insane Severely out of line Optical illusions Twists and turns of time In fear of love And in love with fear Glimmers of the past Premonitions of what’s near Hanging on your whispers Brandishing your lies Immersed in all that is Each time I close my eyes
