Continued from last week... Taylor awoke to the sight of sunlight streaming through the living room curtains. She could barely open her eyes. They hurt; dry and burning from the overproduction of tears as she drifted off to sleep the previous night. She didn’t feel like moving. She was curled into a ball under a … Continue reading Taylor – The Next Morning
Love
Question of the Week #266
If you knew it would completely estrange you from your friends and family, would you follow your heart and marry a person you loved? Yes. I mean... if friends and family are rightly warning me that the person I love is also secretly a super-villain bent on global destruction and/or domination, I would hope I … Continue reading Question of the Week #266
People are the Worst
This is the conclusion I've reached. Disclaimer: I'm not sure where I'm gonna go with this. I'm mostly trying to make sense of some of the things I'm feeling. Yesterday, I made the mistake of turning on the news for the first time in, probably, about two weeks. Man, did I pick a day to … Continue reading People are the Worst
Question of the Week #172
Would you be content with a marriage of the highest quality in all respects but one - it completely lacked sex? I suppose, if this were a marriage that extended from the life I currently know, I wouldn't know what I was missing. I once heard someone describe sex in marriage as a bonus and … Continue reading Question of the Week #172
Neighboring
When you think of your neighbors, what comes to mind? If you're like me, you probably just think of the people who live in your general vicinity who you never speak to and try to avoid eye contact with if you all happen to be outside at the same time. But that may just be … Continue reading Neighboring
What if I’d Done What My Dad Did…
Kids, I've been thinking... If you paid attention to the title of this post, you'll realize I've been thinking about my dad. Sure, he pops into my mind just about every day for one reason or another. Not in a sad, grieving sort of way. Just in a I still miss him, wish I could … Continue reading What if I’d Done What My Dad Did…
Crushing It
Kids, the other day, I gave a friend of mine a ride from the garage. Do you know how she repaid me? By asking me an incredibly personal question. She asked, "Who do you have a crush on right now?" I mean, she is one of my best friends in the world, so she really … Continue reading Crushing It
Question of the Week #122
If you were happily married, and then met someone you felt was certain to always bring you deeply passionate, intoxicating love, would you leave your spouse? What if you had kids? Whether I had kids or not, the answer is absolutely no. If I'm married, it means I already met the one person whom I … Continue reading Question of the Week #122

Question of the Week #100
What do you most strive for in your life: accomplishments, security, love, power, excitement, knowledge, or something else? I guess I'd have to say accomplishment. And that accomplishment doesn't necessarily mean that I want vast recognition either. Accomplishment, to me, is just knowing that I did the best I could and succeeded whenever I put … Continue reading Question of the Week #100
