I am alright I am intelligent I am empathetic I am caring I am loved I love I have bpd I am sorry for my outbursts I know you don’t understand I am learning to use better coping mechanisms to operate a healthy, loving relationship, foster strong friendships, and understanding when to let go, when I need my own time, and how to employ healthy and productive distractions when I know an episode may occur when my loved ones are busy or need their own time I am not easy to love I am not easy to understand And I must understand that You are important too Helping someone with mental illness is taxing and rewarding I am learning alone time is not abandonment No replies are not dismissals And when I believe they are, I use that time to focus on projects and tasks It is not my business what the reality of the outcome will be What matters is how I cope and react right now, moment to moment I am learning

When Dimple Met Rishi

I fell in love with Dimple and Rishi and you will too. @smenonbooks @SimonTeenCA @IndigoTeen

When I found this book on the Teen table in Chapters, this was my reaction, including a large very loud gasp.     It was so loud that the woman next to me gave me the strangest look. #Sorrynotsorry I had my eye on this book for SO long. All of the early reviews were coming out and all of them really made me that much more excited to read it. So I grabbed it up and ran away back to my hotel room…

Top Ten Tuesday - 10 Books Your Mom Would Love #TopTenTuesday

Top Ten Tuesday is put on by the wonderful humans over at The Broke and Bookish. As a mom, one of my favorite things in the world to do is read.

It’s a great ME time activity that I enjoy so very much. Reading is a…

Oh my cauldron. This beauty just arrived at my post office and it's gorgeous. I was so sad it wasn't here on release day so now I own 3 copies including the ebook. The ending was perfect. I cried numerous times. A review will be coming soon! I'm flying out to Toronto to meet Sarah J Maas this month and I can't wait. I get teary thinking about it. Will I see any of you there? I'm going to cry. I've been wanting to Thank her for what ACOTAR did for me before my diagnosis.

I’ve been reading quite a bit but not writing many reviews. That changes NOW! I’m so glad to be back to…
