Read the original post here - I posted under the name of Chryssie, short for Chrysanthemum Rose, as I was writing under a pseudonym those days. I answered these questions 11 years ago, and holy fucking shit was I in such a different place back then. I happened upon this article last week, and while... Continue Reading →

when updates are small…
Between getting my ass kicked by my editors, having a tiktok finally hit FYP, and starting a new hair color journey, my life has been packed with a lot of ups and downs. Ups have included getting back into climbing with a partner, and starting to prepare for a trip this next month, and beginning... Continue Reading →

The countdown has officially started. It is just over two months until my book is officially released. It drops on Amazon, both a Kindle edition and in paperback form.

the magnificence of anger…
As I sped through the edits and restructuring I had to do for my book, I felt rising anger as I, yet again, dove deep into the actions of my parents.

I stumbled upon something a few days ago that has made me happy stim every time I think about it. I wasn't even aware that I was happy stimming until one of my closest friends pointed it out today at lunch, saying she had never seen me do that before. A little taken aback, but... Continue Reading →
musings & wonderings…
I spent two hours yesterday at my kids' school, sitting in a room with a whole team of people. The purpose was to go step by step through a document for my youngest. The day before, I had been sent the entire 15 page document, and by the time I was done reading through it,... Continue Reading →
i know who i am…
We're nearly halfway through December, and this month so far has been an exercise in contemplating the things I've learned in 2022.
