You take me out to dinner buy me tickets to the show. And anyplace you take me is a place I wanna go. Everytime you touch me I can feel it in my soul. There’s unspoken words between us. Could you already know?

Who is my Heisenberg?
I have a mental illness. This is not something I chose. This is not something of which I am proud. This is not something I want any more than Walter White wanted to have cancer. But our earnest desires couldn’t save either of us from the painful truth.

Memorial to Thorsten
These past several nights you have been in my dreams. The dreams are joyful, hopeful, full of life – just like you. And then I wake up.
I wake up asking why are you gone? You’re supposed to still be here. There are people here who need you; your friends, your family, all those kids who called you “uncle.” We all still need you.

Culinary Adventures
Like all of you, Facebook constantly inundates me with advertisements for all the things I need, don’t needs, or never even knew existed. However, one day as I was scrolling through the feed I saw an advertisement for this thing called Home Chef.
Now, normally I would just keep scrolling. But there was this picture of an amazing plate of food! If you’ve ever been with me to a restaurant, you know that when it comes to food, I am sold on the pictures. If there isn’t a tasty-looking well-plated meal in a fancy staged photograph, I’m not buying.

The Importance of Prevention
Holidays can be a time of great joy. This past year, my holiday season was filled with gifts of generosity, the love of family and friends, and sounds of laughter that sang such a sweet ambient melody I couldn’t help but stop for a moment to bask in the peaceful joy of it all – even amid the hustle and bustle that can also accompany the latter months of the year.

The Princess and Her Problem

A Story by Jacqueline Dotzenrod
Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful princess who was born to a land of plenty. There was always enough to go around. From the townsfolk inside the castle walls, to the villagers in the outlying settlements and even the rural-folk never had want for much of anything. The princess grew up in a world of satisfaction, yet she could not find satisfaction within herself.
