i recently watched a movie, rabbit hole, that helped me learn one of the most important lessons i’ve come across. i think of it like this, though the analogy is archaic: the subtle changes made by an artist with his tool and the fact that when the hundreds of these minute additions and changes are made they, in their whole, become something far more visually breathtaking than a work done by...

i mentally thrash myself against the truth in efforts to beat out my faults. it works. i feel clean. pure.
thrill is rushing through my veins. after weeks of calling in to check on the status of my transcript, ball state finally received it and after another week, i’ll finally be admitted.

stood up for myself today. i’m learning my boundaries. played with cats for at least an hour at pets mart. met a girl for the second time after a meeting at starbucks over a month ago; she recognized me after minutes of talking over patrick’s loving purr. i’d lost her number, but now i have it again. she leads a writing group that gathers on sundays at the coffee shop and...

“Can we help you?” “You tell me. What do you have here?” “Well, we can give flu shots…” “What? Flu shots? *prepares to rant” “Come on, Kat, let’s get going.”

“There was a fair mixture of animals in the long building. The dairy cows took up most of the length, then there were a few young heifers, some bullocks, and finally, in an empty stall deeply bedded with straw, the other farm dogs. The cats were there too, so it had to be warm. No animal is a better judge of comfort than a cat and they were just visible as furry balls in the straw. They had...

who would have known that i could register so late, sign up for classes and start school this semester. i filled out the application last night, including a section with my school, work and extracurricular history that made my life look more interesting and less like a failure. aunt sheryl paid the fifty dollars as well as promised to give me the extra thirty for the late fee; i’ll make my...

“blaaaaarrrrrrghhh!”
the snow is falling and my tummy is digesting the ounces of juice blended from carrots, blueberries, strawberries and yogurt. supposedly, eating regularly and taking vitamins decreases anxiety and so i have supplied my organs with a lovely concoction of the same. so thankful this friday for my mother and my friends. wishing i would hear from n3ko, but knowing she loves me always.
i’m good without you, but the gap hurts nonetheless.
