There’s a stigma behind having voices in your head. At best, people will joke about it. “Everyone hears voices,” they’ll say. They might even tell you that it’s okay to listen to them. Might even tell you that it’s okay to talk to them. But then they’ll joke “But if they talk back, that’s whenContinue reading “You aren’t crazy if you hear voices”

My Five Year Old Mind
From the outside looking at my facts, I’m a young twenty-something, college student. Society claims that my priority should be school. Getting a degree will help me in the future to secure a job, add to the system, and benefit my fellow humans. They expect me to stay on top of all my assignments, workContinue reading “My Five Year Old Mind”
Hermione Granger
Growing up, Harry Potter was a really important part of my life. Yes, I’m part of the Potter Generation and I’m quite proud of that, thank you very much. Those books were such a light in my life and I will always remember that special time I shared with them. Their stories brand new toContinue reading “Hermione Granger”
Different
I am a creative being spilling over my brim with insights and ideas. I watch when I’m silent instead of speaking words that are just forming on my tongue. I wait for the right moment when a pause comes between their prearranged words. They don’t even notice. Under the surface I’m raging. A storm builtContinue reading “Different”
Reflections Beyond the Masks

Halloween used to be my favorite time of year as a child – better than my birthday or even Christmas. Every year, I’d plan out my costume well enough ahead of timeContinue reading “Reflections Beyond the Masks”

For me, it’s diving into art. Writing, drawing, making steampunk or faerie inspired pieces, learning to paintContinue reading “Living Your Dream”
What was that?
I noticed a huge jump in page views today from zero per day for about a week up to eleven today. I’m assuming some of you may have been stopped by my server changes this past week and weekend. Sorry about that. It should be all fixed now and my future changes – at leastContinue reading “What was that?”
Arguing with the Cursor
Curse that blinking cursor. Sitting there, blinking in time against that stupid blank background. I’ll show it. I’ll write about it and make it dance across this dump page making it poop out letters from it’s behind. I have bested you again stupid cursor. You can never win against a mind that talks to inanimateContinue reading “Arguing with the Cursor”
Why Just?
Coming to this site, you may wonder why I chose the title of “Just Ryn” for it. Originally it was meant to be a little play on introductions. “Ryn who?” to which I would reply, “Oh, just Ryn.” I liked the ring it had to it over a comparable choice of “only” or “simply” butContinue reading “Why Just?”
