Filled With Regret
Sometimes you get lucky and find music that speaks to the feelings and emotions that you experience. When I find a song that seems to just gets me, I can’t help but wonder how that artist just “got me” in a way that other people and those who are closest to the box I am fighting to get out of, just don’t seem to.

I Dub Thee Mr Horrible
I am really tired of referring to my was-husband as “the ex”. He isn’t my anything anymore. I would like to permanently disown him if that were at all possible. Since I can’t do that (damn the mixing of genetic material!) the next best thing is to give him a whole new title.

Passive Aggressive
It might have been easier to leave had he been overtly abusive and used his fists or had shouted more. Unfortunately his methods were more insidious, harder to detect, therefore, easier to excuse away. It is hard to grasp just how crazy I felt all the time married to someone who employed his passive-aggressiveness like a samurai sword. I am having difficulty believing that I will ever “grow” from this experience, or be able to look back on it without tons of regret and shame.

Recompense of a Liar
Why do liars think that they are entitled to the truth? Their deceptive actions show me they can’t handle the truth! So what’s a girl to do when she has to make moves that put her in the awkward position of having to trust the bastard that got you in the mess you’re in? Why, treat him like he likes to be treated: With the best Oscar winning portrayal of “The Truthful Wife”. He deserves no better, at least I think so.
