The Calming of the Storm

I am so tired of trying to exist in several different forms.Taking on one appearance for Twitter. One for Instagram. Mastodon. WordPress. Social Media in general..Finally created my own website to breakaway from this disconnect and yet… I always end up all over the place…Things have been… an adventure. A wild motherfucking adventure.And I’m tired. But not of the adventure. Of keeping to myself…

Update 1/15/24

I’m back from my mini exile. These last three months have been difficult. So many new adjustments and problems. I’m just starting to come out of the funk and sort of enjoy reality again. Media has been difficult to digest. Music has been my go to coping mechanism besides working out. I can feel it switching back. The feelings are receding and I’ll be able to handle a little more of reality. Thank…

Book Review: My Place at the Table

Long ago, a bright eyed grad student thought she could juggle both assigned readings and books for fun.  She was wrong.  Over a year later, I checked out the book My Place at the Tablefrom the library and read it in one night. It was absolutely amazing.  My Place at the Table recounts the tales of Alec Lobrano as he takes on journalist positions in Paris, France. As he learns to navigate the…

Everyone goes through pain. Some learn to overcome it, and use it as model to be better. Others, embrace the bitterness and darkness. 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 “I don’t talk about it [his pain] too much because I don’t ever want to be perceived as a victim. I am not and have never been and never will be a victim of any circumstance I am in. I don’t wear victimhood on my shoulder. I don’t like to act like I am my wounds and repeatedly be reminded of my wounds. What happened in my youth carved me and forged me into the person I am today for better—purely better. We trade trauma for wisdom. When we go through heavy experiences, it deepens our eyes.” Cole Sprouse 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 #amblogging #amwriting #writerslife #quotestoliveby #quotescreator #quotesdaily #quotes https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp1HpJ-pOay/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Asociety

My name is Chad, the year is 2052 and the UK has decided to wall off a section of land formerly known as the West Midlands and declare it as wild lands where no laws of society can hold you. Like a lot of people, I signed up to go. It’s a land of promise you know? It’s overgrown ruins for the most part, completely returned to nature. Wild foxes and badgers roam free, just like I’m going…

Well the holidays are over and gone, and a new year has begun—we’re even in the second month!! Getting to spend the last days of Tishri away in the #SmokyMountains was probably the best & worst way to conclude the holiday season. The changing leaves, the lull of a rushing river, hiking up Bald River Gorge—experiencing all that beauty has got me wondering, “So what’s next?” Check out the link in my bio to read why in my first #blogpost of 5783!! #amwriting #writerslife #writing #writingcommunity #blog #blogger #amblogging #hike #hiketennessee #Tennessee #BaldRiverFalls #BaldRiver #BaldRiverGorge #hiking #hikingadventures https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckd91YPrQYx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some Updates <3

Hi friends; it’s been a while since I sat down and actually talked about what I’ve been up to so… hi hey hello this is me trying to make a slight, introverted appearance back into the world. Thanks for having me. I recently reached a personal milestone. Nine years free from self harm… I’m terrified of where this leaves me however. Things are… unstable. And I’m not riding this current very well…

New website, who dis

This website has been a lot of things over the years. It looks a little different now, but it's coalesced into something I'm proud of. Here's the new wrapper. #lizcultivates #cultivatespress #amwriting #amblogging

If you’ve been following me for a bit, you may notice a few new things around here. I started this blog in 2013 as a way to stretch my creative muscles and figure out what, exactly, I’m doing with my writing, my education, my life. It’s been ten years, and a lot of the time, it feels like I haven’t figured any of that out at all — but looking back on artifacts of this website, I am in awe at all…

Sorry for the lack of posts this previous week. Family and I came down with Strep Throat. It wasn’t fun, but everyone is feeling better. My wife had it the worst. She has an autoimmune disease, so things tend to nail her. Didn’t have many symptoms myself, but we did the whole antibiotic treatment. Felt more like a cold than anything. Doctors said it had a weird variation this year. COVID really…

On Amblogeer

Once an epithet of a god(?) in a health cult devoted to medicines of vitality and fertility. The cult faded into general practice, but the tinctures and things used became known as “amblogeers” in Thriggwig, and those who deal in them may take on the word as an occupational epithet.
