My thoughts are rarely organized (the joys of ADD) and it bothers me constantly (a gift of OCD). On this episode of “Lacy does blogging bad and will probably never share this out beyond the 2-3 humans who already have this link (hi y’all!)”, I’m just going to throw out some categories and ramble through my current thoughts. This should…

General geekery, overthinking, and awkwardness. That's my jam.
Straws are back-breaking jerks and my chalkboard is wrong.
Man, I’m really good at keeping up with this blogging stuff, right? If you’re just tuning in or have stumbled across this mess that is my blog, let me go ahead and spill the beans on the recipe behind every post. You can skip ahead, or probably just swap over to something more entertaining if it doesn’t suit your taste.…
Skeletons but also some good things too
Hello nonexistent readers – we meet again As is consistent with my relationship with blogging, I did it for a little while when things were rocky, then my brain did it’s thing and locked all those memories behind a wall, and I went on about my happy, compartmentalized way. Super healthy, right? Well, apparently licensed counselors disagree with that approach.…
A very delayed and brief update
For the first night in a couple of months, I am sitting at home giving myself time to rest and relax. I haven’t posted any updates since May, so I suppose this is as good a time as any to make a list (y’all know I love lists) of my last 5 months. New job I got one! I’m working…
Work, wanderlust, and psychiatry
I really wish I had a more clever title. A friend already pointed out that I missed a Pokemon reference opportunity in my last post (needed to rotate a blonde into the friend team), and that alone was enough to have me consider throwing in the proverbial blogging towel for good. BECAUSE C’MON. POKEMON. THAT’S MY WHEELHOUSE. I included in…
Back from a blogging hiatus, and I brought souvenirs
Well, hello there. It has been awhile, blog friend. Honestly, I stopped writing for a period out of fear of sounding quite whiny. No one wants to read whiny, and I don’t want to write whiny. Through the holidays, whiny was really all I had in me. I made it though – first Christmas, first Valentine’s Day (and screw that…
Are you there God? It’s me, Lacy.
I’ve always been pretty open about what I believe. I think genuine Christianity is a beautiful, rare thing that isn’t seen often enough and is often overshadowed by religion and tradition. It is relational, real, and raw (forgive my unintentional alliteration). Let me be clear – because I am a human, I won’t even begin to claim to get it…
The letter I can’t send
I’m writing this because I feel like I have so much to say, and I don’t know if there will ever be the right chance to say it. Part of me never wants to send this to you because I feel selfish in doing so. I don’t want to hurt you, even though some days I want you to hurt.…
Exposure Therapy
Yesterday I made the foolish mistake of believing that I was stronger than I am. There was a night of worship being hosted at my old church. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy to go with the amount of history combined with the people who would be there. After being invited and “encouraged” to attend multiple times by…
180
I don’t feel like self love is something I’ve ever really grasped, and I’m not entirely sure how to go about getting it down. Part of it stems from a fear of being perceived as narcissistic, because I can’t stand people who are full of themselves. I try and stop myself from being overly talkative. I do a bad job…
