Burning burden.

nobody@vox.com(Kristen) — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 23:33:11 -0700

I am sad and my bed is empty and no one is near. No one speaks. My dwelling is quiet except for the dryer tumbling wet towels and the erratic off and on spurts of my thought as I type the bullshit out. I have all this love to burn and sometimes ...

I'm still here.

nobody@vox.com(Kristen) — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 10:24:12 -0800

I haven't been writing much. I know I've wanted to but the ability to open up and express myself hasn't been there. It's just not in me. It's as if that part of me has died. I used to write only about the beautiful aspects of my life. I loved bein...

Why?

nobody@vox.com(Kristen) — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 12:20:30 -0700

Sometimes I don't understand why. When did I stop caring? Why did I want my freedom? Why did I feel so unloved? How did it come to this? I suppose that I'll never stop asking myself why. I would like to think I'll move on, maybe even find happi...

Give a damn.

I want to admit something. I think it was I who gave up long before he did. I think it was me who stopped loving as I should. I know that I was leaving him a long time ago. I think that over the course of time, he, too, was leaving me, but hadn'...

The reality of divorce.

nobody@vox.com(Kristen) — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 14:02:31 -0700

Sadly, I must report that my husband and I are still separated and planning to divorce. Oh, I do have good days. It isn't always sad. Don't let my prior silence give off the impression I dwell in sorrow, although I can't always write about cooki...

Hug me. Hold me. Keep me safe.

William is a year and a half now. He's still a baby but he's starting to act, look and be more of a child - a kid. It's been wonderful watching him grow, change and become the adorable little guy he is, but at the same time, it makes me sad becaus...

Sleeping baby, oh so sweet.

nobody@vox.com(Kristen) — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 13:08:41 -0800

I haven't been sleeping well at night lately. I'm not sure why. It takes me a long time to fall asleep and once I do, if I do, I toss and turn. Maybe it's all the excitement that's happened lately, which I can't complain about and I'm not! Mayb...

Love that endures.

nobody@vox.com(Kristen) — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 20:26:23 -0800

This is beautiful. Locked in an eternal embrace, it seems they died together literally in each other's arms. I'm sure many of you have heard about this recent archaeological find in Italy. I've seen this picture on the national, local news, in...

How it feels to be a Vox World Tour Winner: [This is amazing]

nobody@vox.com(Kristen) — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 19:21:20 -0800

I've never once won a contest in my life, until yesterday. Yesterday and today were probably the best days of my life next to marrying my husband and the birth of my son. Yesterday I found out my post won the Vox World Tour. Yesterday I found...

Roxette: Music to define my love.

nobody@vox.com(Kristen) — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 14:30:35 -0800

I rarely will buy an album. In this age of downloads, it's so much easier to just go online and grab a favorite couple songs real quick off i-tunes. However, it is rare these days an album exists in which every song has deep, powerful meaning fr...
