Mid-Life Crisis In My 30’s

After being a prisoner in a relationship spanning close to 2 decades, I shouldn’t be that surprised that I had my mid-life crisis a bit earlier than most. After I left my ex, I had bought another house on my own, and a few months later, started dating for the first time since High School. […]

I survived another year….

Yup. Tomorrow I turn 39 years old. I’m not sure what significance that has on anything, to be honest. But every year that passes, I tend to reflect on whatever got me here. When I think back on my entire life, it’s in chapters (how cliche!). Childhood, teenage years, then it’s simply pre-relationship and post-relationship. […]

A Shout Out To Those Solo Birds….

This post is a shout out to all the men and women who are doing it all on their own. Literally. Whether you’re a single parent with no family and friends to really help out in the day to day activities, or even if you’re like me, with fur kids (I hate that term) and […]

Respect among dog owners….

This is something I’ve become quite passionate about. When you have a “perfect” dog, you don’t learn anything from them. When you have a dog that isn’t quite “perfect”, you either learn a lot or some people abandon their dog or worse, some people abuse and/or neglect their dog. This is why awareness, education, and […]

Peach, Love, & Happiness

This post was inevitable. This is the back story to my rescue girl, Peach. Peach, Mario, and Yoshi are my entire world (the latter are my 2 cats). Nothing means more to me than them. Nothing. I would give my life to save theirs. Once Peach came along, I sacrificed everything that used to be […]

The Lonely Loner….

I always tell people I’m a loner, and I am. Mostly. Do I hate humans? To an extent. I say that because I don’t understand how most people treat others. I hate how people take advantage of others. I hate how people use others. I hate how people disrespect others. Who is always on the […]

Death is a blessing and a curse….

Sometimes, some days, some hours, some minutes, and even just some seconds, the realization of death just hits me. Not my own upcoming death, but the death I’ve experienced when losing my mother, my best friend, and my cat (Sumo). These three losses came one after the other, though with a little time in between. […]

The Road Trip of a Lifetime…No, really. (Part 1 of 2)

A few months ago, I decided to bite the bullet and plan a road trip. I am all about firsts. First kisses. First base. First….oh wait. We’re not on that subject (yet). Ok, so I’m all about first time experiences in general. So this would be my first long solo road trip, and it would […]

Is This Thing On?

If you’re reading this, you probably feel obligated and that’s ok. Allow me to re-introduce myself…. Hello, fellow humans! For those that don’t know me, my name is Kimberly Chan. You can call me Kim, Kimmy, Chan, or whatever else you’d like. I just like the way Kimberly vs Kim looks in writing. Kimberly looks […]
