My Choice
I wasn’t ready to say goodbye. There was so much more I wanted to do, to share with you. Remember that restaurant in the shopping center where we used to always shop? I never took you to that restaurant, and I always meant to. Or that pond where the flags are placed every year? I wanted to walk […]
Let’s Talk About Suicide
I don’t think people talk about suicide enough. It’s this shameful thing that nobody wants to face or discuss. To the point that I know parents who lied about how their child died when she killed herself–all her friends knew better, but the mom was insistent on concocting a story that was easier for her […]
What’s Michy Writing?
I lie in bed at night and write entire blog posts in my head but then get in front of the computer and nothing. i swear it’s a disconnect between my brain and fingers that just doesn’t work right anymore. I need to get it back because sometimes these depressed moods I get in can […]
On Flowers & Women
A woman is like a flower… When she is properly tended, well fed, receives the proper amount of love and light, handled gently, like the beautiful creature she is, she will bloom in full radiance. If you provide her a good foundation upon which to grow her roots, she will continue to grow and bloom, season after season, only becoming […]
Comfort Zones
A comfort zone is that place you find yourself when you know what to expect, and you are comfortable there, even if you are not in a good place. Looking back over my life, I have never felt more alive than when I force myself to step outside of my comfort zones. It can be […]
When Water Falls
The rain is falling outside. It’s dark, it’s late and the cloud cover makes the night seem blacker than I remember it being for this time of night. It’s quiet. The rain has been falling all day, and everything is flooded. Standing by the window, I’ve watched the brilliant flashes of lightning outside without my […]
Forgiveness
The first thing I want to point out is what is, to me, the most important part about forgiveness: Forgiveness is not a gift you give to another, but rather something you do inside of yourself, for yourself. The other person need never know. You can choose to extend forgiveness to the other person, if […]
I Trust You
“I trust you.” I never knew how important those three words were until today. …I trust you. More important than saying I love you is knowing that in a relationship there is trust. The only thing missing from some of my past relationships was that one crucial ingredient. Trust. I loved. Oh, how I loved. I cared, more […]
Ah, You Don’t Know Me!
Don’t mistake my generosity with altruism. It’s not. There are very selfish motives behind every generous act I perform. I do it for me, not for you. This is my heart, my soul, and my life I am saving—not yours. If it benefits you, then so be it, and better the world for two souls saved, but don’t […]
