My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Yesterday I was thinking about this word. What does it really mean and does it really exist? As I was talking to friends about my situation with R, we described it as being in limbo. Is it true? One definition that suits the use is: “an uncertain period of awaiting a decision or resolution; an intermediate state or condition.” Yet, I’m not sure this is entirely accurate. I am indeed waiting for my…

  • It’s time to put my reflections and revisions into a concrete public form. This will maybe keep me accountable! Ha. As I don’t like to call my new resolutions as New Year’s resolutions, I am calling them long and short term goals for this upcoming year. I know, it’s the same thing in the end, but semantics are important to me. I’m a language nerd after all! 😀 So, here we go! Long-term…

  • Back during my life coaching sessions, I talked about how writing has been a dream for me since I was eight. I knew back then that power of words and wanted so much to share my stories with the world. I am not an eloquent speaker. I am not overly charismatic. However, I think I can write. I think I can create enough for a reader to engage in a story. In any…

  • [shashin type=”photo” id=”8095″ size=”medium” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] Another year has come with so many possibilities ahead. I spent New Year’s Eve with some friends, which was both nice and strange at the same time. R was not there and yet we were on better terms than we have been the past week. Still, it was quite a lovely evening. [shashin type=”photo” id=”8089″ size=”medium” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] We carried out a Greek tradition with…

  • I’m gonna go dark for a couple of days just to allow myself some time and space to reflect on the New Year. Plus, I got a bunch of other stuff to do. 😀

  • So, it has now been over a week since I have been completely off the Cipralex. I must say I definitely have gone through ups and downs; however, I cannot say for sure how much was the decrease or how much was the events around me. In general, I feel pretty good. One interesting and annoying side effect I have had is zaps of dizziness. There is no pain to speak of, but…

  • It is always hard to be away from my family during the holidays. Thankfully, I have a really awesome group of friends here who help to make the holiday season pass by with love and laughs. [shashin type=”photo” id=”8081″ size=”medium” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] Last night was a post-Christmas feast. It was potluck style and, boy was it delicious! I can’t wait to eat leftovers today of everything. hehe. (I did forget to take…

  • …or something like that! 😀 Each day gets a little bit better. This morning I woke up with a less heavy heart and a return of light in my spirit. I have come to realize just how great my friends really are and at how much I have changed in letting friends become so much to me. Usually, I have tried to keep people at a distance, only letting a few get close.…

  • When I was doing my life coach sessions, Karen would often remind me that everyone’s greatest fear is of being alone. This made sense to me. However, I think I have a greater fear than that – being abandoned. Since I was a year old, I have been repeatedly abandoned. By the time I was eight I had been abandoned at least six times. No wonder my relationships were never all that healthy…

  • There’s a heaviness in my heart that threatens now and then to turn into a darkness. So far, I have been keeping it away and focusing my mind on the things I should be happy about. This is no easy feat. Now that Christmas has passed, I can start reflecting and preparing for the upcoming new year. We still have a Christmas party to get through that will be both wonderful and sad…
