Where I Stand...Just so We're Clear



No matter the results...

I denounce white supremacy.

I value science.

I think there is no place in our hearts for homophobia.

I think transphobia is deplorable.

I think income inequality is just shameful.

I think our military are beyond honorable.

I think our prisioners of war should be held in honor.

I believe in thinking people who don't just follow in lock step with anyone.

I believe that facts are more important than rhetoric.

I think that abelism is beyond limiting and uncalled for.

I believe in choice .

I don’t believe in abortion as birth control.

I do believe in responsible birth control options and access to these.

I find bullies abhorrent. 

I find education and critical thinking valuable. 

I think racism is horrific. 

I think sizism is just mean.

I think agism is so shortsighted. 

I think women should be whatever they want to be without the pressure of anyone deciding that.

I cannot stand cults of personality.

I cannot 100% stand behind any human being who is elected into office. 

I am the daughter of a father who lived through Nazi Germany.

I am saddened to see to see populism grab this country that I love by the throat.

I am sorry we’re in an abusive relationship with our government.

I am saddened to see so many of our country is afraid to leave their abuser. 

I pray for our country.

I pray.

I believe all paths lead to the truth regardless.

Abandonment, Fear and Thanks

I woke up today very early. My significant other and I have a young puppy so that's part of the life at this time. Disturbed sleep. I woke up and just thought well, it's Thanksgiving, let's just be thankful today. I was in a good frame of mind. I had made the decision to just be present today as much as possible. But...in the wee small hours of the morning my always present depression and anxiety had other plans. I went to message a friend of mine. I connect a lot on Facebook so I went into messenger to just let her know I was thinking about her and I couldn't find her. At first I didn't worry, I figured that she and I were both struggling with the election stress and maybe she just went dark for a bit. I get that. I understand taking the mental health break if need be. Alas, she didn't just go dark.  Upon investigation I came to understand that I had a friend in real life that I care about deeply. I would try hard to check on her and send Erik over with various...

What I DIDN'T Set Out to Do with My Life: Polarize

If you've read any of my blog posts or have been through my dips in depression via my Facebook feed, you'll know that I think a LOT about what other people think. I'm trying hard to reverse that tendency but honestly the deprogramming to want to be liked by everyone (or most people); is a harder knot to unravel than I had previously thought. In many ways, I believe I have what is called a polarizing personality. It wasn't something I intended in any way, shape or form to have but as I do an inventory of my life and relationships I find that either people like me a lot or basically just hate me or want nothing really to do with me. I suppose I have a large brushstroke of people who are lukewarm but I have come over the years to realize that the toxic traits in myself that I continue to work towards uncovering or better yet evolving past really do tend to alienate people that I once honestly would have gone the distance for. I think it's my tendency to over commit the...

WILL IT BE PERFECT?

Expecting it to be...when expectation is the thief of true understanding.  Originally posted on former blog: 05/24/20 I think the hardest thing for me in this life is realizing that I see people for who they are in depth not just their mistakes, their choices, their anger, or their hate at times. I have always been okay EVENTUALLY just letting people go the way they need to after distancing so I could get my head okay with the fact that whatever about what happened wasn't really about me because I know who I am and I know what I try to do is always with the best intentions at heart. However I know that the need to distance at times offends people to the core. I know that people want to make up their minds to just hate someone for the sake of hating them. In the end, that's their burden to bear and I'm sorry they have to live with that always eating them away. I have been judged so many times for doing so many things that people were afraid to do. I have been judged for bein...
