One million steps forward
Two freaking million backward

She is overwhelmed with all the self awareness up in her dome
Which by the way has catapulted her no further than her big toe
Sure she has acknowledged her damaged inner child – Sweet Chile Continue reading

Life on the outside chronicles: The knowing
StandardThe knowing simply is
The one constant that Hardliner cannot
Change – ignore – deny – invalidate

The summery fragrance of wildflowers

Sorting out the junk from the fine jewellery
Is painstakingly hard and monotonous
Yeah – she loves to complain –
So what – this shit is hard Continue reading

There is no other word that she can use to describe it

Having to come to terms with the wifehood
The wifehood is not what it is cracked up to be
