ACloudyMorning ⋅ 30

I'm a cardiac/neuro RN who excels in video games, piling up loans for graduate school, and sarcasm while storytelling and playing dungeons and dragons on the side. Writing is one of my favorite things to do. Despite all this, I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. I aspire to be a spiritual soul, someone with confidence, and maybe a person that could just match her socks for once. In summary, I do nurse things when I'm not playing make-believe.

"The time will pass whether you're doing something about it or not."

Mindfulness and Ambience in 2021

I assess the font with scrutinizing eyes, noting how the letters rise and fall in symmetrical conjunction with one another – like a well-choreographed dance that my own clumsy fingers would never...

A Different Direction in 2021

“I’m a person that knows what I want - and I want you to work for our group. You’re exceptionally qualified. I think you would make a great addition to our team.” I was a bit stunned, not expecti...

Uncertainty in 2021

I do that weird thing with my leg when I’m sitting at a desk and I’m restless - the leg jiggling thing. I’m sure I drive people nuts, if I’m ever sitting too long and feeling some sort of way. My...

A Taste of Paradise in 2021

I’m still reeling from the adventures of the past week. I scroll through the photos in my phone - the bright blue skies, the deep blue waters of the open ocean, the smiles and drinks and deliciou...

Those Old Entries... in 2021

I’m struggling with the idea of keeping or erasing old journal entries. Perhaps not deleting them entirely, as I could export them for a bored rainy day. Even the edgiest of entries are buried so...


I’m back in my happy place; a cozy bed with fresh linens, the softest blanket I own, and the dark void of a fluffy black cat nestled by my feet. The dim lighting in here coupled with the cracklin...


2020 was supposed to be so much more. I’m sure this isn’t the case for just me, but for everyone. Nobody could have anticipated a viral outbreak that would keep some contained in their homes for ...


I hate writing negative things in my journal. I love to write, and have written a lot of things I’m proud of. I like to describe my entry-writing as “PRN” or in nurse-speak, ‘as needed’. It’s not...


It’s been awhile since I’ve written on prosebox, and I’m not entirely sure why. I love the website and lurk often, reading other posts and commenting when I feel that I have something meaningful ...


If I could stand before myself just over three weeks ago and say, “Hey. You’re going to be getting your motorcycle license and a brand new bike in the weeks to come”, I wouldn’t have believed it....


There’s no better feeling than when you finish a huge project. Mine this week was a research paper for school - something that I spent fourteen hours straight on, followed by another four hours t...

Changes in A Different Life Ago

I’m trying not to get my hopes up as I hit the ‘submit’ button on my application to a local clinic. The problem with changing jobs now is that I’ll be getting my masters degree in just under two ...


I’m always up for challenging myself to do new things. Become better. Do better. Self-improvement sort of stuff. So when my old coworker, Amy, started a ‘30-Day Challenge’ group on Facebook, I wa...

Insomnia in A Different Life Ago

Every inch of me tells me that I should try and rest tonight. My body is tired, but unfortunately my mind is restless. Four hours of sleep last night and two the night prior have left me fatigued...


I woke this morning and hurriedly got ready for an appointment at the health pavilion twenty minutes south of where I live. My two hours of sleep was not sufficient, and I realized this after pre...


When I made the decision for my health to change my diet to a plant-based one, I knew it would be challenging. Nearly two months in and I’m already seeing health benefits. First and foremost, my ...


For the first time this week, it’s sunny. The rain and storms have been thundering through the midwest with reckless abandon, leaving floods and a touch of chaos in it’s wake. I’d always thought ...
