Positive Lattitude: Pop! the cork
http://positivelattitude.blogspot.com/2016/08/pop-cork.html
Wherein I attempt to make sense of myself, places near and far, and how we all navigate this world. Tuesday, August 23, 2016. I could go on and on listing the generosities of my mom and perhaps I should, but the point of this post was supposed to be to say that I wish I were more like her. Then, of course, I feel that old choking sensation. Just at the base of my throat below my voicebox, beyond that lump. I wonder why my chest hurts, why my tummy hurts. In my naval, golden and bubbling. Every kiss, a sip.

Wherein I attempt to make sense of myself, places near and far, and how we all navigate this world. Friday, November 27, 2015. Hug Your Fear (It Wants You To Live). This week I have been grateful to feel my depression lifting. As I type this, it’s becoming easier to breathe with each passing minute. When I listen to the birds singing, I actually hear. I explained this to my therapist who said, “I am not worried about you. Do you know why? Or think, “who does she think she is! 8221; But I’ve figured...

Wherein I attempt to make sense of myself, places near and far, and how we all navigate this world. Thursday, November 19, 2015. Interview with a Phone Vampire. Now, I’m fighting a downward spiral into depression that has been slowly lifting. I've been asking myself today why. How did this guy, and this interview, have such an effect on my confidence? Logically, I know that I am really adaptable and can just get a job somewhere else, so what’s with this spiral? 8221; In this case:. I always fuck it up.

Positive Lattitude: Temporary stop
http://positivelattitude.blogspot.com/2015/11/temporary-stop.html
Wherein I attempt to make sense of myself, places near and far, and how we all navigate this world. Monday, November 16, 2015. This morning, like almost every morning these days, I hear Katherine’s voice in my head. You can do it, baby. Put your feet on the floor. Yes! I’m so proud of you! Katherine’s messages, her voice, saves me. When I think about harming myself, I always think, I couldn’t do that to Katherine, or my dog, or my mom, or… breathe… Andy. You’re doing so gooooood! I get out and dry my han...

Positive Lattitude: Like a Record, Baby

Wherein I attempt to make sense of myself, places near and far, and how we all navigate this world. Tuesday, April 26, 2016. Like a Record, Baby. Yes, there are data from Harvard, who has the longest running study on happiness and health to date (you can read about the study here. The data have shown time and time again that the key to long, healthy, happy lives is in our relationships- specifically our closest relationships and our sense of community and belonging. What about my career? The people in my...

Positive Lattitude: There Be Dragons
http://positivelattitude.blogspot.com/2015/12/there-be-dragons.html
Wherein I attempt to make sense of myself, places near and far, and how we all navigate this world. Wednesday, December 2, 2015. You know what's really hard about both getting what you want or not getting what you want? The results are basically the same. There is disappointment if you thought that’s what would make you happy. If you did get what you want, it makes you no happier than you were before getting it. If you didn’t, you’re heartbroken. Slowly, you realize that your ruby slippers took you to ha...

Wherein I attempt to make sense of myself, places near and far, and how we all navigate this world. Tuesday, December 8, 2015. Every Badass Needs a Crossbow. I’m so tired of being afraid. Or rather, letting my fear control my brain the way it has been. I’m so not okay with that. Today, as I was driving in my car, the thought popped up, “I’m really fucking tired of being scared. I’m DONE.” I felt my inner Lara Croft taking over again. She is a badass and she is a part o...And I want a goddamn crossbow.

Positive Lattitude: Anatomy of a Dream
http://positivelattitude.blogspot.com/2016/05/anatomy-of-dream.html
Wherein I attempt to make sense of myself, places near and far, and how we all navigate this world. Wednesday, May 25, 2016. Anatomy of a Dream. Last night’s dream is even difficult for me to write out- it wants to stay stuck in my throat and keeps my chest tight and protected. Therefore, it needs to come out, but I'll keep it short. I dreamed that I was pregnant (gasp! I was absolutely terrified and alone- I had never had surgery of any kind before. The doctors were very kind and one of them was par...
