An Attempt

In a desperate attempt to find some peace of mind, I guess I'll give this a shot. Did I ever see myself as a blogger? Absolutely not. I left blogging to the experts, AKA pinterest enthusiasts, hot, stay at home moms, and tumblr girls. However, I might have been too quick to judge, and since the old fashioned way of pen to paper is soooo outdated, I figured that there are worse things in this world than internet journaling. Besides, who's gonna read it? I'm no Indy Blue, and I resemble a social media goddess in no way whatsoever.

BUT, I do like to write. A lot. It's my claim to fame and lucky for me, it's what keeps me sane. (Bars). So why not try this out just to see how it goes. My oh so wise words may come in handy one day to a lonely and helpless web surfer, or perhaps maybe my angsty, teenage daughter one day. I have nothing to lose, so sit back, relax, and vibe with me.

This is the one I bought in Bolivia with your father” she would say, dangling the shiny chain in front of my wide, glistening eyes. “This book, here, I bought in a little libreria in Mexico City! And this hat,” she would add, smiling, placin...

Catch Her, A Poem Dedicated to NEDA Week

7 pounds, 9 ounces The stiff smell of asepticity and disinfectant Wraps around A healthy, happy and silent one Like a blanket, fitting In her mother's arms, As she whispers to the small, pink, face “Life won’t be easy, beautiful girl. But I’ll catch you when you fall.” 7 pounds, 9 ounces. 13 years later, 112 pounds, but not happy. It’s been almost 6 years now. A baby now a young girl, Just now fully understanding What has happened. 6 years, Yet people still talk like It all had happened yesterday. “Your mother was so incredibly beautiful.” “Your mother was a strong, admirable person.” “Your mother would have been proud of you.” You see, life in its inequitable manner, Proved itself to be more than just hard. And just like that, Mama fell. And her baby was far too young To return the favor Her mama habitually did her. She was far too young to catch her mama. 13 years old, 112 pounds. In her mother’s absence, she lacke...
