I have a handful of poetry I'm dying to submit.
I have learned so much since last being here, a shocking amount, since we all know life can be crazy and chaotic without asking for it. I have never wanted drama, but yet my surroundings insist on bringing it to my door, uninvited, barging in and tearing my world apart.
I am currently jobless.
I live with my brother in the city still, learning how to be independent, but dependent on each other greatly.
I almost lost my family due to a bad day that escalated beyond what I was prepared for.
I am realizing that not everyone leaves. Sometimes I can luck out with finding someone amazing, someone accepting, and willing to grow with me and not ever judge me based on my past, my present, my potential future.
I have a great boyfriend.
I have the greatest joy in the form of kittens. Watching them grow is incredible, and reminds me that the world isn't the bad part, its the people around me.


And this brings me to my next set of news, which I have decided to tell whoever of you still follow my words and will read this...also because I don't personally know any of you, and a few of you I still consider closer friends to me than the people I reside in this city with. And so...
I am pregnant. Scared, but excited. Worried and also so very determined. I know I can do it, but my greatest fear is this world truly can be a terrifying place to bring a new human life into. Oh, how swiftly lives can change!

In any case, I love you and miss you all. Keep in touch my darlings, we all need to be in love for the sake of keeping the beauty of poetry, photography, alive and full of romance, even if just with ourselves and the passion of our passions.
