Pink (June 2, 2023)
“When the words can’t express. How hard it could be. Giving more than she has for tomorrow. Just to share her smile.” written by Just Rant Already

My Thoughts on May (May 31, 2023)
My profile is now public on Facebook. I’m no longer going to hide my truest self (Autism/CPTSD/MDD/Tourette’s syndrome) from those in this wide world who choose to argue with the old me. The one no longer in the mood to hold my breath while having to entertain always looking back over my shoulder to see…

You handsome Man (May 29, 2023)
I used to look in the mirror and see nothing. Nothing good. Nothing more than ordinary. I used to wish upon a star that someone would find me; show me what love really was. The looks and woos in the movies never showed a girl like me. Nowadays, I find myself staring at your face.…

Red (May 26, 2023)
“At the center of it all – Blue is what she needed to keep a true flame. Shine brighter than any other day. Reignite the light inside of her soul. Bring back the girl hiding within – No longer fearful of the monster in the corner. Forever, forward; with my knight in shining armor.” written…

Get out of your head ma’am (May 24, 2023)
“Just go on and do it“ “Who care’s what they think“ “You’ve got this!” “Practice makes progress“ “This is just another step towards the goal“ “The worst has happened and look at you now“ “The way you make them feel, Wow” “That’s what you’re supposed to do“ “Just be yourself and they will love you”…

Deep Plum (May 22, 2023)
“Staring out at what is so near in my future I can honestly say I didn’t see this coming. While we spend time out searching, Our eyes wondering. She grew up. She cried hard. She always got back up. She was always the me you fought for. Deep down – she always knew, She would…

Can you see? (May 19, 2023)
I know she’s here You can smell the confindence Like a warm vanilla cupcake She’s a star lost in daylight Shining bright for other’s to take flight To scared to lift her feet off the ground Her mind’s been in the clouds for some time Daydreaming of a simple life Where her pain doesn’t rule…

Hot Pink (May 17, 2023)
“To stand out, meant to accept what was in front of me. To want to feel beautiful in my own skin, meant I accepted the toxicity that flowed from their lips. To be small, meant compliance in their crooked eyes. I’m happier and healthier everyday, knowing then my path would never lead me there. So…

Summertime (May 15, 2023)
As the flowers bloom I ponder my next fortune Memories taken, frame by frame Campfires and adventures Car rides and sing-a-longs Heartfelt movie nights and foodie trips galore Summertime will always be my favorite time of year. written by Just Rant Already

Hardest Lesson to Learn (May 12, 2023)
“Pushing away what seems ‘fun to do’ – To do the work no one else has to” was always step one. Now I am stuck in the mud they all said I would need. Still holding a safety pin from 1993. When will society figure out there tail chasing, time wasting, ‘could you grab that…

Goodbye My Dear (May 10, 2023)
Today I choose to start a new. Picked up my daily to do list and walked on. Found my way back to the same problem, by no fault of my own. Work Ethic 101 is built on ignoring dumb people, daily. Left to ponder, “why even bother?” When the problem was never mine to begin…

Happily (May 5, 2023)
Proud of who you are. So many hurdles thrown your way, again and again. Someone else’s sunshine – until it got hard. Giving back what you can’t seem to hoard. Always putting faith in those who judge. The patience to be more than what is on the outside. I probably don’t say any of this…

Soul Sister Sings (May 3, 2023)
I heard a whistle once – that gave me such a freight. I lost my train of thought. Left on read… Given more than I should have without re-reading the subtext. I wish I’d left it on the charger. Gave away truths no soul needed to hear. Took back my heartstrings. Forever forward – left…
