I sat at work all day yesterday totally blah. It didn’t help that it seems like the world is still on holiday. Nothing much seemed to be going on which made the day feel even longer. I wasn’t even excited to go home. I was just blah. I spent New Year’s weekend fighting a cold… Continue reading The New Year Blues

It will Be better
I've learned a lot in the last six months. It's been a bit of a whirlwind. This is somewhat ironic because I slowed my life down a lot. One of the main reasons I haven't been writing much in the past year or so is because I feel like I'm not allowed to talk about… Continue reading It will Be better

I’ve even gone as far as to say that if I had died at thirteen, I would never have experienced how painful life can be.

My mom would ask me if I wanted my favourite bear or anything from home. I refused. I didn’t want any of my favourite things to be tainted by this place or this room. Or worse, there was a very real risk of getting blood on it. My mom brought me some new pjs so I wouldn’t have to wear the hospital gowns. I could be a bit comfortable at least. Though my doctor would later joke about them being shipped in from Paris, hospital gowns are certainly not built for comfort.

The right way involves taking two pieces of white Wonder Bread, slathering them with margarine on one side, slapping a piece of Kraft Singles cheese between them, throwing them into a non-stick frying pan, and flipping until golden brown… Continue reading Home
