In a difficult situation all-around

Things haven’t stopped being difficult for us–an uphill climb that we climb with reluctance only because of the obstacles, not because of the goals–and maybe we are stronger for it, but it is tiring.  I do not like that our independence is juxtaposed the financial burdens of wanting a college

It’s Official – We’re One Year Old!

One year ago today, I announced the cafe was a fully operational Death Star and welcomed the public onto the platform. While we haven’t blown up any planets yet, the Rebels haven’t blown up this Death Star, so I think we’re doing pretty well. 😉 Today also marks the 200th

Sorry isn’t enough

A misused word I am Linus in his pumpkin field… Like a use of “if” instead of “when” I didn’t mean it that way, but the damage was already done. …I SAW you shut yourselves away… And I can never unbreak that trust. Saying sorry feels empty. Sorry isn’t enough.

A Faire Façade

Snowflakes drifting through the air Lights of green and red Honeyed words of peace and joy As horrors befall untold numbers A glass orb, isolating oneself from the outer realm “Stay within the globe” “It’s not safe outside” I spin on pointe Music of noël guiding my turn -VOiD

A story, retold…

Our story begins in a kingdom (in Hyrule? by the sea?) Not one of castles and knights, but one of electric lights and cobblestone streets Not one of nobility or kings [ha!] Just a place that, no matter it’s duller parts, was full of the precious concept of belonging. It

Do I Deserve to Call You Mine?

I think that I’m the missing puzzle piece that has been keeping my system from processing our trauma. Maybe not me specifically, but my subsystem in its entireity. And it’s not because I’m afraid of the flashbacks and emotions that I’ll open up – I thought that for a long
