Your Day is Not Doomed

On June 2, 2020 By KimIn AdultingLeave a comment

I have no idea if this is an ADHD thing or just a Kim thing, but everyday I wake up in a different mood. I have no idea what effects these moods. Sometimes I wake up with more energy than a preschool classroom, but other days I wake up and find myself glued to bed, …

You Don’t Need A Reason

On May 19, 2020May 19, 2020 By KimIn AdultingLeave a comment

About a year ago, I bought a pair of leather pants. Clearly a necessity, right? Maybe not. But a thrift store find that includes perfect fitting leather pants for $1 was an opportunity I thought foolish to pass up. But for the past year, they've just sat in my dresser drawer, untouched. I keep waiting …

You’re Never Too “Okay”

On May 5, 2020May 5, 2020 By KimIn Adulting1 Comment

For the longest time, I was convinced that I was okay. Obviously, I would have rough days, or trudge through some seasonal or situational depression. No one can be "good" all of the time. But most of the time, I was good. When I graduated high school, I left a lot of pain in my …

I Am Too Much

On April 21, 2020April 21, 2020 By KimIn growthLeave a comment

I am a very overwhelming individual.I always have been, and I suspect I always will be. Becuase of my ADHD, I often do things subconsciously. I often don't notice I am singing, humming, bouncing my knee, tapping, etc.I often do not realize how loud I am being in the moment until someone points it out. I also …

Hello, Old Friend

On April 7, 2020 By KimIn growth, WritingLeave a comment

About a week ago, through quarantine boredom, I was mindlessly perusing the internet. You know, as you do. I had been playing the Sims 4, scrolling mindlessly through social media, and then somehow ended up on Storybird.com. I first joined Storybird in middle school for a class assignment, but quickly fell in love with the …

Quaran(team)

On March 24, 2020March 30, 2020 By KimIn FriendshipLeave a comment

Michigan is on lockdown for three weeks. A majority of citizens are either without work or working from home. (⇐I am here.) College campuses are deserted. Schools closed. Kids shut up at home. Flights are canceled. Conferences postponed. Meetings moved online. I don't know who tore this month out of a dystopian novel. If I …

Mask On, Mask Off

On February 25, 2020February 25, 2020 By KimIn Adulting1 Comment

It was about 10:40pm, and my co-worker and I had just clocked out after a long shift and were changing out of our uniforms when someone else from our department entered the locker room. I greeted her and attempted to start a conversation, but soon realized that she seemed immensely out of it. Upon further …

I Wanna be Uncomfortable!

On February 11, 2020April 19, 2020 By KimIn Adulting, growthLeave a comment

One month. One month ago, I was frustrated, bored, and apathetic. It had been three months since I had quit my full-time job, and I was still deep in the job search. Three months of applying with very little to show for it. In one of my last posts, I talked about how I have …

The Voice of Truth

On January 28, 2020 By KimIn Adulting, growth, ReligionLeave a comment

Some of you may have some memory of this, but several years ago I had a trial run on a blog. I hadn't given it much thought on what I wanted it to be, and it was, therefore, awful and messy. However, there were a few good posts from it that I kept. This was …

Eat Your Darn Veggies

On January 14, 2020 By KimIn Adulting, growth1 Comment

I've had a wretched headache for the past two weeks. Some of you don't see anything unusual in that statement. But for me, headaches are uncommon. I have a strong immune system and get close to eight hours of sleep a night. I eat three meals a day. I have found a good balance between …
