Untethered…

Welcome back, my lovelies. Tell me, what does one do when they realize they are no longer shackled to the toxic patterns of the past? Yesterday was my last at a day job that, over the course of nearly two years, utterly destroyed my mental health. Don’t misunderstand, most of the people were great (someContinue reading “Untethered…”

Cleanliness is next to gothliness…

Welcome back to the cemetery, my lovelies! I am writing this from my newly redecorated goth nook. I spent all day yesterday (literally about eleven hours) rearranging furniture, building a new shelf, hanging artwork, reorganizing, and generally just exploding my goth touch all over everything in my little creepy space. I feel so cozy andContinue reading “Cleanliness is next to gothliness…”

The fallacy of normality…

Since my knee surgery last week, I have been dwelling on the concept of “normal.” People keep talking about my return to normal in regards to my mobility. I am healing quite well, but this journey has taught me that everyone has their own internal concept of how things should be. I doubt I willContinue reading “The fallacy of normality…”

On the mend…

Your beloved Twisted Libra has been maimed. Part of me is forever removed. My suffering has been long and painful. Okay, perhaps I am being just a tad dramatic. I had knee surgery. My ortho doc removed damaged cartilage and several bone spurs. Recovery has been painful, yes, but I seem to be progressing nicely.Continue reading “On the mend…”

From darkness to light…

Something has changed for me, my lovelies. Years of introspection, lessons learned, and struggle has brought your beloved Twisted Libra to a healthy and stable place, mentally speaking. I have grown significantly as a person, and dare I say I have conquered my demons. Seriously, no longer are we locked in battle; we cuddle andContinue reading “From darkness to light…”

Feet in the grave, ass on the ground…

Life has a way of slowing down the creative process sometimes. I don’t write as much anymore. I don’t get out to do photography hardly ever. I feel stuck. True, this tends to happen to me in the hot summer months; I dread going outdoors at all, so trips to the gorgeous cemeteries become fewContinue reading “Feet in the grave, ass on the ground…”

Wandering through the darkness…

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Well, my lovelies, you all must be in love with me by now. I haven’t blogged in over two months. Why, you ask? I wish I had some profound or heroic reason, but the truth is I suck as a blogger. Life gets in the way sometimes. The realContinue reading “Wandering through the darkness…”

Out with the old…

No, I am not throwing myself away. Not yet. I’m not old, I am more like vintage. Okay, some days I feel as though I am aging like a fine cheese…regardless, I am talking about cleaning up around the old cemetery. Your beloved Twisted Libra has reached a point in her (after)life that yearns forContinue reading “Out with the old…”

The deranged slasher of the Twisted Libra Cemetery…

There is a slasher loose in my cemetery! Follow the trail of carnage and you shall find this ghastly fiend! Who could it be? Who is causing such mayhem and upheaval in this place? Me. It’s me. Let me explain…I decided to slash the prices on my books. It may take up to 72 hoursContinue reading “The deranged slasher of the Twisted Libra Cemetery…”

Life outside these cemetery walls…

Your beloved Twisted Libra decided to venture away from the cemetery yesterday. Where to, you ask? Well, as a late birthday gift to myself, I took in a performance of Dracula by the Carolina Ballet. I won’t go on and on about it (because I most certainly could), but let’s just say it was aContinue reading “Life outside these cemetery walls…”
