The title is misleading for starters, because you don't feel, you are unable of distinguishing what is going on around you. It's just empty, not like a cave that echos and has odd flickering from water reflecting off the rock - it's just black and deathly quiet. The only sound is your internal battle thinking … Continue reading Depression and how it feels
Warning, your lamps may be lit with gas
I'd never heard of gas lighting before a few years ago, thought it was some archaic reference back to when houses actually had gas lights. Had no idea that I'd been subjected to it for many years, or even realised at the time what was going on. Manipulation is subtle, it's by stealth, and it's … Continue reading Warning, your lamps may be lit with gas

Christmas for the introvert
I wish I could be one of those that adores Christmas, the build up, the decorations, the food and all that goes with it but I can't. My ideal Christmas would be just me, in my pajamas watching old black and white movies and not actually speaking to another soul - except twitter, that doesn't count! … Continue reading Christmas for the introvert
Do I trust you?
It's such a tiny word in the English language, yet holds so much power and can do so much damage when it's broken. That's why I'm fairly broken because someone I was close to broke my trust a long time ago and I don't think I ever truly got it back. I would love to … Continue reading Do I trust you?
