About what sandra thinks

Sandra is a writer, blogger, poet, artist, emotional disaster. She thinks far too much and sleeps far too little. Sandra lives in the Northeastern U.S. but dreams of an oceanfront home in Hawaii where she could learn to surf. She loves books, brutal honesty, coffee, and the color black. She hates insincerity, beer, whipped cream, and facebook. And she is uncomfortable talking about herself in the third person.

I’m losing it.

Posted on 9 November 2021 by what sandra thinks

I have read 91 books this year. But I’m losing my reading bug. [Can I just add that I spent a solid fifteen minutes trying to think of (and look up) another word to use for “bug” in this sentence, … Continue reading →

Posted on 7 November 2021 by what sandra thinks

Why do people lie? I can accept that people may answer a question dishonestly sometimes for whatever reason. I can usually get past that. But I’m talking about something else. I’m talking about lies that came from nothing. No questions … Continue reading →

my heart is broken.

Posted on 2 November 2021 by what sandra thinks

My life is a mess. And my heart is broken. I am just broken. Mentally, physically… sigh. I can’t even talk about a lot of what is happening in my life because it pains me to discuss it. And what … Continue reading →
