I thought I was a giver, not a taker
I thought I was happy, not sad
I thought I was kind, not mean
I thought I was good, not bad
I thought I was light, not darkness
I thought I was something, not nothing
But in reality
I am a user
I am an abuser
I am a thief
I am a liar
I am a con artist
I am a sociopath
I am a sinner
I am a narcissist
I am all that I don't want to be
Yet all that I don't want to be I am
I am an alcoholic

Alcohol Detoxing
Have you ever done a detox? I mean any kind of detox. Maybe like a body detox by juicing or trying to give up caffeine? How do you usually feel while going through it? With anything that we are physically or mentally addicted to, when we decide to stop "using" that thing, it usually comes with some detoxing side effects.

Confessions of an Empath
The birds are chirping, and the sun is shining in a cloudless July sky. The vibrancy promises a beautiful day, but the cooing of the Mourning Dove perched on the powerlines seems to be more fitting than the lively songs of the robin flitting through the trees. The melancholic calls of the dove cloak the world in a sadness that hangs like tattered drapes.
