Shit Just Got Blowed Up
One problem with dealing with an addict, especially one that is in the end stages of that addiction, they are as irrational as a two-year-old kid that is sleep deprived. Every little thing is some catastrophe caused by other people. It’s always my fault. It’s my fault she drinks too much. It’s my fault she…

Wither Away
Have you ever watched someone wither away? Most of us have seen an elderly person we know shrink in stature, quickly becoming a shell of their former self. What happens though when this person is someone we loved and been with for years, a partner in life? I can be devastating to a person’s psyche,…

Still Pinching Myself
Am I dreaming? I have to be! Right? Normally, they say “pinch yourself” to see if it’s a dream. My dreams are a little more intense. I can feel pain in my dreams, so pinching doesn’t do the trick. Usually, I can tell, or I die. Since I’m not dead, and I woke up (yes,…

The Most Beautiful Sight
Never has anything so beautiful every enter my eyes and pierce my soul as what I just witnessed less than an hour ago. It was a pleasantly unexpected sight, that I can’t get out of my head. What I witnessed was so beautiful, in fact, that I had a difficult time concentrating on words that…

Oblivious
How do people go through life being so completely oblivious to everyday things? I hear water running in the upstairs bathroom from the kitchen. “I hear water running.” I get a reply of, “I turned everything off.” “Is the toilet still running?” “Uh… I don’t know.” Of course, the toilet was running. Update: 15 minutes…

Notification of Termination
How do you tell someone you’re done? How do you tell them their services are no longer needed? As with everything in life, it depends on the situation for sure. Firing someone because their work ethics are horrible is a lot easier that telling someone you’ve been with for years that it’s time to move…

Make or Break
I cannot get over how a single conversation can either make or break a mood, or even a day. A conversation with one person might put you in the most foul mood you’ve ever experience. It could fill you with sadness and despair. You couldn’t have imagined this person could ever be so selfish, or…
