Lesbian log twenty-six-ten-twenty-one What’s your why? I once filled my days with people and experiences. My life was like an ion surrounded by protons and electrons whirling around me. My family made up my molecular whole. Outside of that, I had friends, acquaintances, jobs, hobbies, curious pursuits…an entire universe tailored to the life I’d created …

Questions
Lesbian log zero-seven-ten-twenty-one There are so many questions on this path, and it’s hard moving forward when you question every decision before and after you make it, and while you’re making it. Did I make the right choice? Is this the right path forward? Will I ever be happy? Will I make it through this? …
Yo-Yo
Lesbian log sixteen-zero-four-twenty-one Emotions are a bitch. Coming from someone who isn’t overly fond of ‘experiencing’ their emotions, preferring to bury them rather than let them bubble up and flow over me, I gotta say, breakups are a very unpleasant business. Some days I think I have my head above water, and other times I …
Money Misery
Lesbian log twenty-nine-zero-three-twenty-one Can we talk about money for a second? Like seriously. What a pain in the ass. You work and work, scrounge, save and beg, borrow and steal from Peter to pay Paul. For what? I’ll be the first to admit that I was never good with money. I didn’t really understand the …
Food for One
Lesbian log twenty-six-zero-three-twenty-one Cooking is the bane of my existence. I’m not fond of it. I eat because I have to to survive, and when I finally force myself to cook, I’m a slave to a recipe because I lack confidence in the kitchen. I grew up eating a very bland diet. My father had …
Gnawing Away
Lesbian log twelve-zero-three-twenty-one Since I didn’t feel like belabouring the perils and challenges of living on my own today, (reverse osmosis system and water softener acting up, dishwasher dead, hot water tank dubiously working) I decided to sit down with my trusty old dictionary and pull a word for today’s post. Drum roll, please. Today’s …
Perspective is Everything
Lesbian log zero-three-zero-three-twenty-one Nothing has changed this week. I still know my time with my kids is dwindling down—like watching the last streams of sand empty from the hour glass—but over the last few days, I’ve tried hard to look at my experience from a place of abundance and stop dwelling in a space of …
Parenting Fail
Lesbian log twenty-five-zero-two-twenty-one Why is it that following the path of your truth often leads to immeasurable hardship? Why must growth equal challenge and pain? I’ve been asking myself this over and over again lately. I’m sure there are instances where growing out of an old skin evolves smoothly, with merely a slight tug of …
Snow
Lesbian log twenty-one-zero-two-twenty-one I very much strongly dislike winter. Like. A lot. I try my utmost best in life to never use the word hate because it is a viciously cruel word at the best of times, so this is as vehement as I get. I despise winter. I’ve since learned, however, that I can …
A Month In
Lesbian log thirteen-zero-two-twenty-one It’s been one month since I officially started my new life. For the first time, ever, I made my way on my own gumption, blood, sweat and tears. I moved into a new home, alone, on my own, arranged my own finances, qualified for my own credit cards and loans (which wasn’t …
