I always cringe when I see posts titled "Hiatus" or "I'm Taking A Break". Especially when they're posted by my favorite bloggers, because I'm going to miss reading their posts and hearing about them and their life. But here I am, proclaiming that I am taking a break from blogging. For one whole, long week. … Continue reading In One Week…I Shall Return
My Cookie, My Friend: A Tragedy
Earlier this afternoon, Jehosheba, Mama, Yoveil and I went into town. We stopped by a store and got some coffee and cookies (the best food ever).

Helpless
I feel helpless a lot more than I wish. When I see someone I love struggling with the same things that I struggled with in the past (or still do), it’s easy to feel helpless. I can’t take their hurt away. I can’t rescue them. I can’t do anything to force their pain away. This … Continue reading Helpless

You Are Not Labels
There are so many labels out there. Mental Illness. Depression. Chronic Illness. Addiction. Pain. Grief. Loss. All of these names are fine in and of themselves.

Little Voices
My house is filled with constant noise. Excited screams. Pained sobs. Little shrill voices pounding against my ears. Whining. Pouting. Wailing. Laughter. Tears. Joy. Constant chatter.

Why?
Hey guys! I was really encouraged by this post by Amie. ❤
I like reason. I like to know everything behind an idea, everything behind a request, and everything behind a rule. Backstories are my specialties, and as a child, my favorite word was a simple question. Why?
The problem for me with the word why started in church. According to my teachers as a child, you aren’t supposed to ask God why. You aren’t supposed to ask why God made giraffes giraffes, or why he decided to make the sun be daytime. You aren’t supposed to ask him why he put you in your family, or why he didn’t send someone besides his only son to die. You aren’t supposed to ask why, even when a family member dies, or someone hurts you so badly you doubt you’ll ever be the same again.
I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t allowed to ask why.
And in fact, I still don’t.
