NDE

Okay, so this one is going to get weird, even for me. Last night I had a near death experience. I had the worst migraine of my life that could not be quieted through any of the measures available to me. It had all the markings of a typical migraine: intense pain, light sensitivity, nausea, etc., but this was so intense that I became paralyzed and felt my body begin to shut down. It began at my stomach and radiated out as if someone had spilled a glass of water on a hard surface. The closer it got to my head the more afraid I was and the more aware I was that I was fading away into nothing. I tried to call out for Matt but as I was paralyzed I couldn’t. I was able to tell my brain “You are dying. You are not ready to die.” and I thought about my sweet daughter and husband who would find my body in the morning. I faded out for I don’t know how long, and eventually I came back. There was a tunnel I guess, but there was no light. The tunnel led to nothing but darkness. There was no afterlife. There was nothing. I woke this morning (I am so happy to have woke this morning) a changed person. I don’t know how it has changed me, though. I am very sad and things seem surreal. What do I do with this information? I think it has changed how I perceive myself and others, but I just don’t know how. There is nothing after death. I don’t know what to do.

Love Warrior

I think we can all agree that I am not the self-help-book reading, mushy, love everyone type of person. I am actually the exact opposite. That said, I am just about through the book  Love Warrio r by Glennon Doyle, and never have I ever read something that has been a mirror reflection of myself, from the way I feel, to the way I think, to the way I behave. Love Warrior   is in no way a self help book. It's one woman's struggle with herself, her identity, how she interacts with the world, and how the world tells her she should interact with it. It is exactly everything that I feel and have ever felt, and I find myself saying "YES. YES!" on almost every page. I have always, always, always been a self conscious individual. I can remember being 4 years old and not knowing how to act, feeling inferior, incompetent, and painfully out of place. I retreated inside myself and put up this shy shell of an exterior that was "cute" when I was young, but as I aged preve...

Fuck.

I haven't had a week this devastating in a very, very long time. I got into a "disagreement" with someone who means the world to me and it got so far blown out of proportion that I'm still shook and confused as to how it happened at all. We've talked, but things feel wrong and awkward and forever different. My heart is hurt. This person is so important to my life. She plays a large role in why I love my job, she is inspiring and makes me happy . So few people in this world do. I am just so sad about this and am feeling a strange pain. There is pain for myself, of course, but an overwhelming amount of pain in feeling...knowing...that I hurt or made her uncomfortable, even though it was unintentional. These feelings are, of course, entirely my own and I alone am responsible for them. I've cried a lot over the past few days. Gut wrenching, I-can't-breathe tears. I hate it. Matt told me to quit with the pity party, but it's not that simple. If it were ...

People Who Smile When They Drive

I haven't posted since September?! That's crazy. I was driving home from a New Year's Day hike to Monkey Face with Lorelei and realized that I was smiling like an idiot because I was legitimately happy. The sunset was gorgeous, the air was crisp and cold, everything smelled like fresh mud, and of course the company was fun. This has been a trend for me, happiness. I like it a lot. I can't begin to describe how Prozac has changed my life. The combination I'm on (Wellbutrin, Provigil, and Prozac) is perfect for bringing me to where I think most people naturally are; I'm at least thisclose to that. The Prozac hasn't been without its side effects however, and in the beginning I could not have an orgasm for the life of me. That was bloody awful, but everything righted itself. The thing that hasn't gone away is extreme, extreme bruxism. My teeth grinding definitely led to the exacerbation of my need for a root canal, and it 1,000,000% caused the insane pain...
