Refining Life's Ragged Edges

I seriously hate writing about me. What do you tell people? The customary who I am, where I'm from? Those are all well and fine but gets kinda redundant, doesn't it? If you want to know me, come read a long. I'm an open book - or at least try to be. I try to write a little about everything. I should one day find my niche, one day. I figure, if I keep writing eventually it’ll come. Mostly I write to help inspire. This world can be a pretty damn scary place to live in. The hate crimes. The sexual violence. The bombings and shootings. I want to be able to shed some hope. Even just a sliver. Something to help someone take another step in their day. I started this blog in the hopes I could help change a dark and hatred filled world. I'm not exactly sure I'm actually doing it or not. But, I'm trying. I also write to get the practice I need. Sometimes I’ll be sweet and awe inspiring. Other times I’ll show a bit of my true self with some dripping sarcasm and stupid humor. Then there are other times I just don’t make sense. Bear with me! When you come across my page, please feel free to leave me comments - about anything. Open forum. Open door. Open, open, open. I like having discussions about feelings (ya right) and hearing opinions of others about what I write. And other times, it’s just nice to know that someone out there goes through some of the same things I do. Thanks bunches in taking the time to stop on by! ~Pearls xoxo

Hourglass

A few months ago I drew an hourglass in my notebook. I don't know where it came from. I only draw things that speak to me. Well, maybe it was a premonition for the below poem.  Hour Glass Like the... Continue Reading →

We Remember

When I sit and reflect about holidays like today I think of the one event in my life that impacted me the most. While there has been war and horrible events since then and so many other events before it,... Continue Reading →

Perfectionism

I have OCD. It isn't really bad but it isn't really mild either. If given the chance I'd probably like me to the character Martin of Sleeping With the Enemy - minus the whole if I can't have you no... Continue Reading →

I Do, I Do Believe in Fairies

I was told that I have a childlike imagination. One that believes in Santa, fairies, unicorns and the like. It isn't that I really believe in all those things. As an adult I'm pretty certain I have a grasp on... Continue Reading →

All Life Matters

If you personally know me or if you follow my blog you know I haven't been secretive in regards to my battle with anxiety and depression. I used to. I used to see it as a disease, as something that... Continue Reading →

Song of Life

Have you ever found yourself listening to music and suddenly there is that one song that fits perfectly to your life? I think for everything big and bad that has happened in my life I can put a song to... Continue Reading →

Let Us Walk

A solid foundation is built by a strong use of brick and mortar. Today I was caught in how amazing it is to have a foundation of people who love me, support me, and encourage me to be all that... Continue Reading →
