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 …
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 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 …
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 …

I greeted her and attempted to start a conversation, but soon realized that she seemed immensely out of it. Upon further …
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 …
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 …
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 …
For those who know me, it'll be no surprise to you when I say I'm an extrovert. I love being surrounded by people, and I thrive best in conversation and discussion. Being around people makes me a better person. I'm more motivated, more productive, and altogether happier. And even though I'm a pretty lighthearted person, …
