Bad habits
I Lied. Top Story - December 2021.
I lied, sprawled out across the crap-encrusted carpet of my empty house, my sweat-spangled back soaking up more debris than the old Dyson in the cupboard had over the past six months, I should have let Bec take it; she did say that I’d never use the thing.

Soulmates vs. Sobriety
There are a million universes out there, billions and billions, Astronomer Carl Sagan would say. Everything that happens somewhere in some universe, for every choice that is made, the opposite is true in another universe. The world is splitting further and further into an infinite number of parallel universes where everything that could be happening is happening. Every time we make a decision, there is a version of us out there somewhere who made a different choice. There are universes out there where I made different choices, better choices. I believe we are friends in more universes, than in universes than we are not, some much happier and some much worse, but my heart aches for every single universe where I’m not with you.

Yupp, My White tee.
People have their weird reasons for why they do things. I generally don't ask why. Simply because I really don't want to know. I just mind my own business and no one else's is important to me unless they are paying me to be in their business. People judge me because I wear white shirts and black shirts. I have my own reasons why I do things and it's probably alot different from most people.

The Social Media Tornado
I was a 90s baby. Where social media wasn’t as prevalent as it is now. I did ridiculous things with my friends that will never be posted anywhere. Images that will live on only in my memory, and only liked by me. It was beautiful how time felt irrelevant then, I could hang out all day, go to tones of destinations and it still felt like morning. Back then people would page you to meet them somewhere from a payphone or to make you laugh in class with hidden messages like the word boob. Things made sense, exercise was easy because only the cool kids drove, and god knows I wasn’t one of them and television had a family vibe that no matter what age you were you could relate too. Cory dated Topanga on Boy Meets World for what felt like my entire childhood and even the guys in my high school classes could kick it with Sailor Moon.

To be Or Not To Be
The first lockdown had troubled everyone with the worry that other people were sick and that the laughter among the crowds one saw hovered like a bad omen. Basic interactions like talking to the cashier felt like a long-distance call, and everyone was cut off from physical touch. I had spent too much time patching up the loneliness on dating apps, hoping in vain to break the law with a date or two. I spent the spring either looking out the window or at a screen. The snow blowing at night, the rain dripping in the morning. The uncertainty of everything made it hard.

How I Replaced Envy with Admiration
In this story, I highlight a potent emotion that creates unpleasant feelings and causes us suffering. This painful emotion is called envy. Of course, there is nothing wrong with envy as an emotion. However, its effects can produce undesirable feelings and a painful state of mind.

A Microphone and A Jumping Fox
Authenticity………it’s not something that’s foreign to me in any way shape or form. Ever since I was a kid I'd like to say I was a pretty straightforward and honest person. I’ve never been a people pleaser and If I didn’t like something I was never afraid to make that known to others. This doesn’t mean I was closed off to new experiences or meeting others, it's just how I was. A majority of people that know me would say I’m a reserved, shy and stoic person. A major introvert who could care less about socializing and going to parties, I just loved my solitude. I’ve never considered myself to be this way but it’s sometimes difficult to fully know who you truly are or how you act towards others, or at least to me it was.

Today Is A New Day
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24TH, 2021 : What the fuck did I do to myself…This is my life, the life that I chose and I chose this? Really Melissa? I need to get my shit together….GSD….Get Shit Done! Look at me! Waking up I look around my trailer and there is no flooring, foil on the windows with no curtains, a disorganized array of everything… It’s windy and rainy outside, I have piles of shit and shit filling the small space I call a yard. I have no income and at this point, everything is past due. My car got totaled and insurance wouldn’t cover it because it was a hit and run. Everything is fucked up, I’m struggling to get by daily, and it’s all my own fault. This is my life right now, this is really my life, and it is my fault.
