Synonym for Broken

Synonym for Broken I stand at the top of the staircase and the wind is overwhelming. I can feel my long chocolate brown hair whipping at my back. My lips and checks feel chapped and flushed. My long blue and while sundress flaps between my thighs and through my legs. I grab onto the banister; “hello old friend” I say. I can see the old banister, spiraling down into the light. I feel where the wood has been worn down, from so many times before. When I’ve needed to hold on tight because the wind was too strong. It always holds steady, my dear old friend. As I walk down the stairs I hold my dress in my hands to prevent it from flipping over my head like Marilyn Monroe. The wind keeps getting stronger and stronger as I walk down the spiral staircase. At the bottom of the stairs I see a familia...

How are you doing?

I ask you this.. how are you doing? How are you doing in the aftermath of the Parkland shooting? How are you doing in this political climate? How do you feel when we start to have discussions regarding tough topics like gun control, mental health and the violence in society? I ask this because I'm struggling myself and I know I can't be alone. I'm struggling to comprehend what's going on around me. I'm struggling to understand how 17 people/children/teachers can be snuffed out that quickly because of one person. I'm struggling to move on. I don't know how to move forward from this one. I don't think I want to move forward. I want this fog to linger as long as possible. I want it to linger until we are uncomfortable enough to have the uncomfortable conversations. When I heard about the Parkland shooting I felt like the wind had been knocked out of me. Like a sucker punch to the gut and the lungs at the exactly same time. I felt na...

The Scarlet Letter

Depression is real. Mental illness is real. Suicide is real. Often times we have no idea that someone is struggling until it is too late. In the past few weeks I have been effected by a community in mourning from a school shooting and a suicide and I feel like we are just pushing it under the rug. The school shooting in Oregon was news for like 1.0 seconds and there was a mention of "more mental health awareness" but I think we need to talk about this more! There is so much focus on gun control (which I won't go into right now) but I think we also need to focus on mental health and mental health awareness. I wish we could have an open dialogue without being judged. Recently, someone in my immediate network (not someone I knew) committed suicide by putting herself in front of a train. It saddens me because everyone on Facebook was asking how she died, but no one will say that her autopsy showed that she put herself in front of a train and comm...
