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

Black Opal

I don't drink as much as I used to. I used to numb everything by easily downing two Black Opals. It was easier than facing anything that I didn't want to face because I tend to like to avoid things.... Continue Reading →

A Triangle

To The Hurting Heart, I know you don't know if the pain will go away. You need to know you chose life and that will always be the right path. Nothing was a mistake. Everything is a learning opportunity, a lesson of... Continue Reading →

Morning

You're awakened in the darkness of night. Panting at what you can remember, The dream has caught you in despair. Memories barrage you as they turn into ember. You listen to the dead of silence; Trying to steady your thumping heart.... Continue Reading →

Another Day

I have this problem where I walk away from people in my life. It's my way of saying I'm done giving everything to someone who doesn't reciprocate (or at least try to reciprocate) how deeply I love. It isn't that I'm... Continue Reading →

You Are Not Alone

I lie awake with agonizing heartache, Not for myself but for you who share this. Dear friend, I know the feeling of such loss And the heaviness of losing your beautiful gift. I wish I had the words to console... Continue Reading →

Good in Goodbye

I think a big part of growing up is saying goodbye. This weekend I pondered a lot about letting things go, about coming to the understanding that sometimes things don't work out and that's okay. Sometimes, when you move on... Continue Reading →

Bucket Listing

I created a bucket list last year and kept it in my wallet. I didn't really tell anyone about it because it was so personal. Sometime between October and February I lost it. Sounds like something I would do. I... Continue Reading →

Mastering the Art

I was rereading some old blogs and saw this quote by Deepak Chopra that said that all great changes are preceded by chaos. I thought about it for a bit and realized this is indeed the case. Should I let... Continue Reading →
