People Seldomly Realize the Significance of Words
By: Kris Lane Lately, I've made a conscious decision to become more outspoken. I've hit the point of accepting what is. Moving forward requires putting everything behind. That includes needs, wants, and dreams. No matter how much longing asks to stay. That bitch gotta go too. When I am tossed into a new social circle or life scenario I absolutely put a cap on the full throttle I know I am. I pump the breaks and tone it back. Not because I want to, because I know my energy is intense.
The One You Want to Hear From
By: Kris Lane 🎧 Always : Blink 182 Back in the 1900's and early 2000's countless Millennials spent hours on the telephone. These telephones were known as land lines. Some had wired head sets. Others were wireless with notorious dead spots in the house. If you were fancy you had call waiting with 3 way calling. This was the group chat. This is how situationships started. Where our parents were riding in cars with boys in the 60's and 70's.
The Coincidence of Symbolism and Being Realistic
11:11 appears on the clock twice a day. If you happen to catch it you may say to yourself, make a wish. Maybe it’s a 333, or a zodiac sign of the person that you’re pining for. It hits like the crack of a whip. “I know they’re thinking about me”. I am often misinterpreted as the person who takes the wind out of sails. Instead, I am the person who steers the boat while others have their heads in the clouds. I keep us moving forward, safely, steadily, realistically.
The Behavior of Almost Relationships
I have something brewing. I have spent the last fourteen years learning about people, functional relationships, and why Millennials are so fucking bad at being people. Jesus Christ we are terrible at maintaining relationships. You can yell Boomer and Gen X all you like, but the truth is the truth. 80’s and early 90’d babies we have a real problem. Myself included. The preface given by a writer of any publication is the equivalent of an actor breaking the fourth wall.
The Influencer, The Content Creator, The Sales Pitch
How Tik Tok has Become the Bread Crumb Paradise By: Kris Lane Value on Tik Tok comes at the price of the most reposts, shares, and story adds by others to create views and engagement. Realization of your value on Tik Tok comes when those reposts, shares, and story adds don’t happen. Remember in high school the feeling of having no one sit with at lunch. Feeling invisible in a room surrounded by hundreds of people. Let’s escalate.

Stamford CT is the city I spent the majority of my 30’s in. Bronx kids don’t go to Manhattan to play. We go north to West Chester NY and Connecticut. Some even venture up into Orange County NY for weekends of mischief.

I have been mentally taxed for a while. Lately, i’ve also met breaking point. If you’re new here, I am a single parent and single woman with no support system. I relocated out of NYC my home state in 2022 and reside alone with my teenage daughter in Tennessee.
Careful, the First Step is a Doozy
Greetings and Salutations folks. While I’ve been gone I hope you have been safe, healthy, and well. The next chapter of publications I will be sharing took some mulling over. My life has often by surrounded by manipulative, narcissistic, toxic, and abusive people. Honest’s Tea was my way of separating reality from what I started to believe based on how I was treated. A reality that made me feel like a crazy person.
Cultivating New Tea
Authors Note: I'm taking a break I haven't visited this platform in a while. There's always plenty to discuss, to write about, to muse over. There isn't enough motivation. I seem to have lost it somewhere in the last four years. So, I'm putting my big girl panties on and going to find it. Scooping myself off the floor is an achievement I've gained many times over. Writing realism at this point in time is dreadful. Adulting in today's society is exhausting.
I'm a Professional Diamond Hunter
By Kris Lane By: Kris Lane Photo by Ty Williams on Unsplash Many articles ago, I gave a lengthy op ed on how society treats me as a human, a single parent, and a single woman. Today, there's a new layer of the onion to expose. Why I don't believe in relationships. To expose the bias here I have led a solitary life since a very young age. I'm the eldest child...

I'm Single Because I Like Men
By Kris Lane Males Do Not Like Me.....Or Themselves. By Kris Lane Trigger Warning ⚠️: Dear reader. This article will discuss personal experiences with the male species. This is not a generalization of all men, or all women. This is a perspective as a participant in American society and the outcome of that on my romantic life. I understand free will.

No, Hope Will Not Save Us
By Kris Lane It's ok to say so By: Kris Lane Well here we are folks. About to close another year, deeper in the pit of shit no one asked for, and more alone than ever. No there's no going back to the old world. No life will never be normal, no life never has been normal, and no hope will not save us. But you know what? That's ok.

The Single Parent Monster
Home / Featured Content / The Single Parent Monster — As a living statistic, I’ve decided to highlight the reality of what living as a checkmark in a data category means. The gloriousness of being classified by a society that does its best to separate us all. If not by race then by age, next comes gender and on to sexuality. How about the economic class or income bracket? Lastly, comes the almighty tag that determines if you are fit for sale. Single or not single.
When Chaos Met Serenity
— The plan was to begin writing what I consider groundbreaking psychology. Finally, put all of my crazy onto paper while taking a little break from the life lessons. The universe said not yet. The time has come to put avoidance through guiding others on hiatus, she said. Speak your truth, admit you haven’t let go. Open the door, and walk away. Integrity has never failed me. The one strength that is also my greatest flaw. My transparency.
How To: Relationship Like a Grown Up
— A Virus Named Pseudo When I awoke today I had a missed call from Mrs. Merriam-Webster. She needs some input on clarifying the definition of relationships. She’s attracted the Pseudo virus and it wiped out the meaning of relationship completely. (If you caught my innuendo here you totes just made me h*lla proud) The pseudo relationship /ˈso͞odō/ means not real or genuine. Being in a pseudo relationship means that you’re in a situationship.
The First Global City
In 1678, a Chaldean priest from Baghdad reached the Imperial Villa of Potosí, the world’s richest silver-mining camp and at the time the world’s highest city at more than 4,000 metres (13,100 feet) above sea level. A regional capital in the heart of the Bolivian Andes, Potosí remains – more than three and a half centuries later – a mining city today. Its baroque church towers stand watch as ore trucks rumble into town, hauling zinc and lead ores for export to Asia.

Five myths about Christopher Columbus
In an early scene in the 1992 Ridley Scott film “1492: Conquest of Paradise,” Columbus, played by Gérard Depardieu, gazes out at the Atlantic Ocean with his son. He tells the boy the world is like the orange he is peeling: round, not flat. In this traditional rendering, Columbus is an enlightened scientific figure, a pre-Galileo surrounded by obscurantists determined to scuttle his plans. We owe this myth to Washington Irving, who Americanized Columbus in a best-selling 1828 biography.
