I’m Scared to Spend the Night Alone
I am assertive, confident, and successful I have trained in self-defense, self-offense, and combative weapons I spend most nights in small-town Mississippi, on a quiet street, in a home blanketed with security, guarded by three large-breed dogs, and surrounded by those I love And, yet — I am scared to spend the night alone Terrified,ContinueContinue reading “I’m Scared to Spend the Night Alone”

Barbie Got It Wrong
I‘m supposed to be “exempt” from watching Barbie, right? I mean, come on….

To be exact, I was rejected twice, in one day Rejection A: *received by email, before our scheduled video call “We do not need to talk.
