74 Inches of Pure Lady

In the early days of 2014, I was suicidal. I’ve asked multiple health professionals if that is an accurate term for the incident. I don’t want to be overly dramatic. I also don’t want to minimize the topic and invalidate other people’s experiences or emotions. I tried to commit suicide and my attempt was stopped. No need to ask for details because I’m not gonna give you any. I’m sure someone else would be game to provide a play-by-play of their failed suicide attempt. But, in the annals of retelling the lurid details of foiled suicide attempts, I’m certainly not your girl.

I was talking with a friend the other day. In response to the old tried and true question: “What’s new with you?” I replied: “Nothing. Literally nothing has changed for me.

I don’t like dating. I don’t like dating apps. And my blog had become stale and I began to feel unmotivated. There are only so many ways to say: “dating is trash, y’all”.

It seems to me that nowadays everyone has a blog. People blog about their dogs, their marriage, their babies, their job, etc. I peruse several blogs during the evenings and think “I’m just as interesting as some of these people.” (Granted, some bloggers are WAY more interesting and accomplished than I but that’s beside the point). So, I figured: “What the heck? Why not? What have I got to lose?” Continue reading →
