Fair Warning to those who read my blog. My boyfriend passed away last week, so I foresee that I will be writing mostly about him for the foreseeable future. To be blunt, I wouldn’t wish this experience on my worst enemy. Anyway, Part One of my wish to share how amazing he was with theContinue reading “Aaron Part 1 – Wicket Earp”

Dear Future Sheri, Your boyfriend died 2.5 days ago. 2.5 days ago. And, yet, I just caught you lambasting yourself for being a drama queen and not getting up to clean the house. Has it been long enough for you to see the idiocy of this? Cause we’re going to talk about this later whenContinue reading “Drama Queen”

Randomness: I’ve been listening to a lot of Brene Brown’s shame research lately. It’s not the first time, but it’s hitting me differently now, as I work on my past. When I read her works before, my instant reaction was, “I don’t feel shame. I don’t believe in regrets, so how can I claim shame.Continue reading “Shame Shame Shame”

If you had asked me…well…basically…ever, I would have told you that my greatest weakness is that I have too many feelings. I’ve heard it my whole life. “You’re too sensitive.” “You feel too much.” “You have too many feelings.” “You’re kind of a lot…” I’ve heard it all. And I knew…the level of feelings thatContinue reading “Feelings”

Unless you grew up under a rock (no offense to Fraggle children everywhere), you grew up on the Aesop Fable of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. In case you ARE a Fraggle (say hi to Red for me!!), the general gist is that the boy kept lying and crying wolf so often that…when the wolfContinue reading “The Boy Who Cried Outraged”

Welp, never meant for this to be a two-part series, but here we go. I shared the general gist of my Boxes & Eggshells blog with my therapist last week. She asked, “Instead of putting things in a box with eggshells around it…shouldn’t you be putting the people who made you feel that way intoContinue reading “Boxes and Eggshells (An Accidental Two-Part Series)”

An ear worm attacked tonight, but led me to a musical ephipany (my favorite kind of epiphany…you know…if I were the kind of person who would rank epiphanies…*innocent whistle* ) ANYWAYS…the epiphany: 🎵You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here🎵 Isn’t that what we should really be doing to those people whoContinue reading “Semisonic-ing My Brain”

I mentioned this recently, but I’m working really hard at figuring out how to share feelings that need to be shared…but also learn that some are for me to figure out alone. Again, this isn’t a bad thing. It’s something I need to learn to grow on. That’s all. Last night, I had an epiphany.Continue reading “Boxes and Eggshells”

Someone I love very much passed away a couple of weeks ago. I haven’t been ready to talk about my grief…I’m still not, tbh. But what I *am* ready to talk about is how important and wonderful he truly was. Because…I’m ashamed that I never told him this while he was alive…and I think weContinue reading “The First To See ME”

So…therapy homework…I’m supposed to compile a list of my personality traits, good and bad. Not excited about this. Not because it’s uncomfortable to list what’s wrong with me. The opposite, in fact. I’m highly uncomfortable trying to quantify what’s positive about me. Why? Am I afraid there’s nothing good about me? Hell no. I thinkContinue reading “The List”
