It's been a while... What was I up to you ask?

Tomorrow... Therapy at 9:30am,
Dentist at 3pm, Work at 5pm. I took my first dose of Clonazepam from my psychiatrist about 15 minutes ago. Now to monitor myself tonight for side effects before I take it for tomorrow's many events. Fingers crossed and such. #mentalhealth #Rxhelp

Tuesday. EMDR therapy. Possibly with my medical records as evidence of my body having kept the score of abuse through my many & varied hospital visits. I suffered UTI'S, black outs, tremors/seizures. I'm not looking forward to opening this dark door & stepping into the room.#CSA

@RealisticPoetry Yes, it takes so much thought and effort to create the flow, rhythm, and rhymes of a poem. Finding the words and expanding your vocabulary in the process is priceless.

@ABC I applaud you for being an advocate for survivors like me. I didn't have any evidence against my abuser, I didn't report him til 12 years later, he was found guilty of criminal sexual conduct & served 10 years, but my struggle in therapy & learning how to deal is for a lifetime.

[C. Marie W. @emotionplethora]

@Polar_Bear_Edit I hinder myself by making excuses... Oh those dirty dishes need washing. Oh these counters could use a wipe down. Look laundry to fold and put away. What should I make the family for dinner tonight? What's my budget? I need to go to the grocery store. Wasn't I writing?

[C. Marie W. @emotionplethora]

I'm elated that sex abuse is FINALLY being talked about! The survivor community's lighting up w/enthusiasm to really pull the elephant out of the corner of the room and put it front and center. The perpetrator is to blame simple as that. #WhyIDidntReport #MeToo #TimesUp #NoMore

Perhaps my existence is to be a real life "muse" for other creatives. I say this b/c my real life misadventures & how I navigate through the mess with a semi-positive attitude inspires them in ways I don't expect with a few saying "you're perseverance is inspiring."
#muse? #how?

[C. Marie W. @emotionplethora]

@Polar_Bear_Edit All positive which I think I need to scrounge up a more technical group of betas. The one's I had all knew me fairly well and insist I write articulate works of poetic art.

@BenJohnson2018 When the soldier loads the alien's sibling onto the transport vessel bound for Earth, the alien saying goodbye to her sibling has a bad feeling that these humans aren't JUST offering work visas something seems phoney about it. Soldier girl realizes foul play when she docs with 🌎

[C. Marie W. @emotionplethora]

@BenJohnson2018 @Polar_Bear_Edit I have hundreds of notes on how to create it... but I can't commit to where the inciting incident opens up the plot. When the soldier realizes she facilitated slavery or when the alien's sister journeys to Earth in search of her abducted sibling.

@DaveVescio Today, I'd gather ALL of my awards, medals, badges, certificates, concert ticket stubs, important photographs, personal journals in a large box, arrange my desktop files, and clear my browser history. Tomorrow will be a beautiful homage to a struggling artist, struggling no more.

I turned 35 this month. I still haven't reached what I would consider successful milestones. Have a college degree. Have a career. Buy a house. Set up retirement plans. As far as I can tell I'm a floundering semi-adult. Earned GED. Quit smoking. Working at Subway.
#adulthood ?

@BenJohnson2018 @Polar_Bear_Edit Aww thanks guys!!! I should maybe get back to work on it as a novella that can eventually become a comic book adaptation.

[C. Marie W. @emotionplethora]

@Polar_Bear_Edit It's started as a comic book idea. Finding artists on my $0 budget is proving difficult lol
