some facts about you

I don’t like how easy it is for that to happen. The mind does have this way of creating shortcuts to save time and energy though. It just sucks that ripping away the layers that make us unique, complex, and beautifully interesting beings is one of the shortcuts it takes.



English is my native language even though the redneck tries like hell to showcase how powerful it’s influence is.

Was kidnapped by my mother at a very early age. Was found by my father thanks to the help of a P.I. and we quickly fled the town her entire family lived in. We moved around a lot after that due to fear that they would find us.

Grew up very isolated and close to my dad who picked up odd jobs to make ends meet. Stood in lines often for free food and clothing. That whole chapter shaped me greatly, in good and bad ways.

At the age of 21. with gratitude and compassion for everything he did to protect me, i broke free of the physical and mental prison I had been confined to to finally begin living my life. Met a great man. We’ve been together for 24 years and have three kids.

My mom passed in ‘91 after years-long complications from multiple gun shoot wounds from a jealous lover who ended up taking his own life. My dad, who I was still very close to, passed in 2013 after complications from open heart surgery.

My husband tracked down my mother’s family, but due to extremely high toxicity levels I’ve lost touch with all them. Have lost touch with my father’s side as well because we were all never really that big into staying close. My only family is now my husband and kids and honestly, we like it that way.

My current town is small enough for most to know who I am when they see me. That sounds comforting, but oftentimes it’s not.

I have my seasonal restaurant job being a thing next month. A more prestigious role with more stress for little pay, and a possible cancer diagnosis and vision problems looming overhead as I try to tackle the idea of it. The depression and anxiety that were an everyday battle is more of a daily war now because of all of that. But one of the good takeaways from the early chapter of my life is that despite the difficulties and uncertainties I’m thankful and grateful just to be here right now, loved and cared for by the precious few who make the dark days bright enough for me to not succumb fully to the darkness that has followed me my entire life.
