First, allow me to say I know this may seem frivolous to some people, but this is also about supporting an industry that has suffered because of Covid-19. I am quite loyal to my tattoo shop Fat Mermaid, and they shut down before...

My father and I are so much alike it can be frightening, and while I am blessed to have him I cannot deny that being a caregiver is draining. He has Parkinson's, Meniere's disease, and in late February underwent a major back...

ViolaceousCuriosity @zoe316 I think there could be many interpretations. It depends on what is happening in the dreams, really, but I like to think that we are either dealing with some unresolved issues we had in our relationship with the deceased...or for some it could be a...

ViolaceousCuriosity Sorry about you having Meniere's. I have seen how tough it can be, but I am glad you have kept going! I got dealt with trauma-induced tinnitus and hearing loss from a car wreck almost 2 years ago, and while I know it's certainly not the same thing, at least I...

ViolaceousCuriosity Self-care is definitely tricky, but I'm trying. I'm not often successful, but I try. haha. My friends are all spread out across the country, but they try to remind me to do that. Thanks for reminding me as well.

ViolaceousCuriosity Yeah, it's incredible how something that seems so simple and every day turned out to be so much more. The cliche about the little things is absolutely true.
