Truthful Tuesday

I’m counting the days. 12 to be exact. School is almost out and that is exciting and intimidating at the same time. There are some things I thought would be in place by now…a job, a place, commitment. Trying to take one day at a time and keeping that skeptical voice down in my head has been hard today. I’m not sure what’s worse- finally knowing what you want and having to wait, or putting your life on hold when you don’t want to.
I’ve been on my own now for 7 years. I can go it alone. I don’t want to, but I can. Time is being a bitch right now.

Truthful Tuesday:

1⃣I hate fake people. Fake anything really- nails, laughs, orgasms…
2⃣artificial flavoring might be fake, but in candy that’s ok. In people, you’ve been blocked, deleted, not invited for drinks, not my fb friend (ok, Maybe my fb friend, but not Tumblr)
3⃣My house needs an intervention.
4⃣tough decisions
5⃣Concert last week was the best. @southerncontradiction is fantastic company.
6⃣Best Friday ever right up until I had to pick my son up from school.
7⃣Life is funny. Not funny ha ha, well, at least not all the time. Just when I think I have a few things figured out the game changes.
8⃣I’m going to an 8th grade dance with my guy. Screw the fact that I have to chaperone.
9⃣He’s my everything.

Throwback Thursday: me circa 1992. I still love hammocks though I’ve just about outgrown my Blossom phase. Wait. Big Bang is on? Never mind. Carry on.

Truthful Tuesday: A Room of My Own…
It may seem silly, but I reclaimed part of myself this weekend by moving my desk into my bedroom. It may look cluttered, but it has my favorite things, things that inspire me, pictures and trinkets, and my most treasured books. It is my writing space. A space I used to go to daily that somehow started gathering crayons, markers, bills. The landfill of lost things. Like much of my house it had been just one more thing claimed by the kids. And I took it back. 
Since then I haven’t gotten all the way back in the groove to finish half abandoned ideas, stories, poems, but it is there for me. Waiting. Patiently waiting for me to return. The Prodigal Daughter, pen in hand, to write. It is here. It is mine.
