https://ovenroastedlove.wordpress.com/2010/06/07/love-within-or-lack-thereof
Finding aloha in Los Angeles. Love Within – or lack thereof. June 7, 2010 at 11:10 pm · Filed under Session XVII - Creative Nonfiction. I have been horrible these past few days.

What if I just said forget it, none of this is worth it. Just those sentences alone and I’m crying. Then my mother walks in asking for homework help and I can’t stop. I have to cook, I haven’t finished eating. The other day I had to remind myself that she was not a burden and that I had to be a blessing. Being raised by violent f...

Finding aloha in Los Angeles. Health and whack doctors. May 13, 2010 at 7:31 pm · Filed under Session XVII - Creative Nonfiction. Drove so damn far to see a laryngologist who ultimately made me feel uncomfortable and told me everything I already knew and charged me $30. I’m unemployed so that just set me back in groceries. Then the drive out there made my sinuses so clogged up that I became more cranky and depressed. So last night I went on Yelp. And now I have an appointment with a 3rd laryngologist.
