Character D-Fex: An Un-Poem of Love & Acceptance

2009-10-29T23:14:50Z

I am tired of character deffects. Tired of lugging them around like a recovery badge of honor. Can't I just be human? Human with faults, in acceptance of them. Not trying to remove them all. Not asking anyone or anyTHING to take them from me. Jus...

Into The Great Wide Open

What Now?

2009-10-15T23:15:54Z

Why must I feel like I have to have a plan? What happened to "one day at a time"? Now that I am single, I want to figure out what my entire future is going to be. I guess I have a lot of fear. When I was with Aaron, I had a plan. I wasn't crazy a...
