True Friends

Posted on November 5, 2019June 30, 2020 by Kyra Marie

Story time here: Once upon a time…in Elementary School, I had a few good friends. In first grade, I was the weird kid that people thought was crazy…(they weren’t that far off 😉). I had a hard time as some of my best friends moved away. I was stuck. Left behind. Lonely. Sad. I was…

It’s been a long time, hasn’t it? I had my sixth surgery on September 5, 2019. It was by far the most painful surgery of all of the previous ones. The doctor said he did eight surgeries in one! I woke up crying, and I don’t even remember the PACU. My heart rate was high,…

Earthly Angels

Posted on August 18, 2019June 30, 2020 by Kyra Marie

Have you met an angel? I have. This time, I don’t mean someone who can fly and glows, although my grandma sure is bright! I was sitting upstairs, really struggling with life. Really worried about my arm, really worried about a test the next day, really worried about all the homework I had, and I…

To Be Understood

Posted on August 9, 2019March 4, 2021 by Kyra Marie

We all desire to be understood. To feel like we are not alone. To know that someone out there cares, and someone out there believes in us. We crave validation. It is built into who we are. We need to feel important, accepted, appreciated, wanted, needed… it is a normal desire. It is healthy, and…

Impossibly Possible?

Posted on August 4, 2019June 30, 2020 by Kyra Marie

My arm is broken. I know, I know, you are thinking, “Kyra, I know it’s broken, silly. 🤪” Well, you see, it’s broken again. On July 12, 2019, we went to the doctor to find out why I was having so much pain. They took an X-ray, and there wasn’t anything visibly wrong. BUT, I…

The Power of Laughter

Posted on July 23, 2019June 30, 2020 by Kyra Marie

On Tuesday, July 16th, at 8:38 in the morning, I woke up and felt that something was terribly wrong. I immediately journaled to express how I felt. Something is terribly wrong, and it is this persistent problem of depression. I woke up today, and my very first thought was of how heavy my heart felt. With every beat…

Rabbit Hole of Conversations

Posted on July 8, 2019June 4, 2022 by Kyra Marie

1:10 AM July 6, 2019 First off, I have no idea where to start. Absolutely none. Ideas and points are flying around in my head, bouncing off of the walls and each other like excited gas molecules in a balloon. There is a certain way I’d like to write what I want to get across,…

Movie Magic? Or Movie Miracle?

Posted on July 3, 2019July 12, 2020 by Kyra Marie

Have you ever had a bad day and thought that nothing could make it better? Yeah, well that was today for me. Multiple tears were shed, I had lots of stress, and my arm kept getting in the way. Today, I laid there feeling useless. Insignificant. Stupid. Dumb. I kept wondering why the heck all…

Flashing Before Your Eyes

Posted on June 27, 2019January 22, 2021 by Kyra Marie

Have you ever heard the phrase, “I saw my life flash before my eyes,” and wondered what that might have felt like? Or rather, “I watched as my life changed forever in a moment of time…” I never thought that would be me. I never thought that I would watch as my life jumped into…
