Nobody puts baillee in the corner

People often tell you that endings are the hardest part of life, but I respectfully disagree; it’s the beginnings that will get you every time. They’re either the part of the story where you’re blissfully unaware of what’s to come, or worse, they’re the part where you have to rewrite the story because the plot…

I can honestly say I never thought I would have to write something like this, but there’s a full moon tonight, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Last night, I fell asleep early because I was absolutely beat, so when I woke up a couple hours later not feeling well, I absentmindedly checked my phone. To my absolute surprise,…

A little over a year ago, I had an almost suicide attempt. I don’t say that to raise any concern but to give context to the rest of this blog post.  A variety of things took me to my low point, including money, personal problems, and some downright mean people whispering in my ear. I…

As someone who works in the service industry, I am very nice and polite. I like helping people. I enjoy showing customers my favorite things in the store. I am open to joking around. However, I am not down to be harassed.  My friends, your servers and cashiers and sales associates work very hard. We…

I write a lot about seeing the good in things. I talk about the bright side. I discuss the light at the end of the tunnel. Today, I want to talk about the dark for a second.  I don’t enjoy bad things happen. I don’t seek them out. I don’t relish the days I spend…

I’ve been known to wear my heart on my sleeve. (Hell, I’ve worn it on my bangs and worn a headband to show everyone.) I used to think it was a bad thing… until I realized I’ve only been told by others it’s a bad thing.  I’ve also been told I’m too dramatic (my fainting…

Note: I wrote this blog post on Tuesday, but due to some unforeseen circumstances on Wednesday and Thursday, I wasn’t able to publish it until today.  Amongst all of the infinity symbols and wedding ideas, I found a quote on Pinterest the other day that really stuck with me: “Did you have a bad day,…

As a horror movie aficionado, I am used to women in horror often being looked over. It’s common to throw out a character or Scream Queen’s name and get a reception of blank stares, and it honestly sucks.  This one is for Barbara Crampton, Linnea Quigley, Karen Black, Jamie Lee Curtis, and all of the…

I am fortunate enough to have a lot of badass women in my life. Some are family. Some are friends. Some are Trans. Some are Queer. Some are straight. Some are Lesbians or Bisexual or Asexual or Intersexual or indetify as another part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Some are Black. Some are Hispanic. Some are…

There are several things I am good at in this world; being patient, however, is not on the list.  I don’t know if it’s the Leo in me or what, but I will swing in like a wrecking ball into any given situation (underwear, hammer, and all). Sure, I may text my friends for days,…
