How Are You Doing…Really? Mental Health Check In Time
Emotionally I am raw. I’ve been thinking a lot about this. The number of people who have been visiting the site has gone down by a huge margin, because I haven’t been posting. I haven’t been posting because the numbers were getting high. In short, I’ve been sacrificing my writing, out of absolute fear. I…

I Don’t Eat Fucking Lobster, but I Damn Well Want Fairness In The Industry. Dedicated to #MikmaqRights
I am so tired. The Mi’Kmaq people are fighting for their right to fish for lobster, and white people, almost exclusively are pissed about it. From the way that I understand it the Indigenous community in Nova Scotia are allowed to fish all year round, meanwhile the white Commercial fishers are only allowed to fish…

Find Ways To Let It Out, I Know It Hurts…But It Does Get Beautiful…If You’re Willing To Fight
Recently via Twitter, I posted this tweet, and someone responded with “no wonder I don’t feel safe sharing my story.” Oh my loves. I am so sorry. I won’t take it down and I won’t ever deny that I said it. I’ve lost more than one friend to suicide throughout my life, and it never…

Write For Your Life, Live To Write…It’s A Hard knock Life
So as you know by now I am working on a new book, and attending group therapy now, and I have to tell you that this new book is far more difficult than I thought it was going to be. I only started writing it to see if I could recreate the process of the…

So I Tried A New Thing and Started Group Therapy
So without going into detail to protect the other members, I am now taking group therapy. Interestingly after therapy I had a session with one of my BudSistas, which was really helpful because for the first time I said some things out loud that I hadn’t said before to another human person. We were talking…

What if I Can’t Do It?
What if I never make it onto the NY Times Best Seller list? What if I never become “famous” as an author, is that going to diminish everything that I have ever done? Is that really going to deny me of the accomplishments that I have achieved? The answer that is no, of course, but…

Marijuana Makes Me Happy
It is astounding what a difference a few puffs off of a joint does for my mood. This morning in particular I wasn’t feeling that great because meditation was like trauma therapy last night. I am holding inside of me a lot of anger about what happened to me. I am holding in a lot…

You Inspired This: I’m Still Here And There’s Nothing You Can Do About It
You who abused me. Pushed, and “challenged” me, you who raped me, not caring how I felt or what I needed. You inspired me to believe that I would beat you by choosing to survive. You chose to abuse. I chose to live. Now here I am and you’re a footnote in the story of…

There Is A Cat Curled At My Feet…And All My Dreams Have Come True
I have a cat curled at my feet, and I am feeling grateful for this today, it is an act of trust and love to have a cat curl at your feet. A reminder that you are loved and trusted by a creature who doesn’t speak the same version of language that you do. She…

I am Curiously Anxious About My Anxiety
So today I learned that my hemoglobin is very low, which explains why I haven’t been as motivated to get out and about this year, the way I was last year. Or at least it explains some of my lack of motivation. Sure I wasn’t as active this summer as I have been the last…

How Did Donald Trump Get Security Clearance When He Owes Hundreds of Millions of Dollars in Back Taxes?
I don’t know what to say, that I haven’t already said. People are being lied to, legit lied to about what Donald Trump has been up to for the last four years. Donald Trump, I recognize now in ways I didn’t as a child, has always had a love relationship with the press. No matter…
