[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…

Taking a Couple of Days
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. ๐

Cipralexing: Omg and Beyond
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…

My Peeps!
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…

Arising Out of the Ashes…
…or something like that! ๐ 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.…

Fear of Being Alone
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…

Heartache
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…

Merry Christmas Part 2
After receiving such lovely gifts and going out the other night, yesterday was a complete 180 away from that. It’s strange how small triggers in our minds can set off huge storms in our interactions with others. The voices that we let override logic control so much of our behavior and reactions. It is a shame when the results are negative and we cannot see how the negativity completely derails our lives. So,…

Merry Christmas to Me from R
The other day we were walking through the mall and I wanted to stop in a watch store just to see if they had anything interesting. I mentioned that recently I was into the rose gold color and the kind that I really like I could not afford. R asked me what ones and I said Michael Kors. Oh how I love Michael Kors still. When we got home, R sent me a…

Vacation and Reflection
It’s that time of year again when I can finally relax and try to put all my thoughts together again. I may not write so much here as I start to settle my mind into some things. The good news is that I’m doing quite well nearly off the Cipralex. I have had some vertigo issues, which may be one side effect of coming off, but overall I think I’m doing well. My…
