Laurel or Yanny

So did you know there was another school shooting today? In Texas, right outside of Houston. 9 students and 1 teacher confirmed killed so far. I bet you didn't know. But you know what you probably have heard of? This whole "Laurel vs. Yanny" debate. Some silly person put a recording onto social media and…

The Worst Part about Depression

The worst part about depression is trying to convince yourself to stay alive every day. At least for me it is. I know everyone's depression is different, but for me it's so tiring to have to get up every day knowing something will trigger me, and I might cry in front of someone at work,…

I Don’t Run

I don't run. You probably clicked on this because you thought I was going to rant on and on about how I don't run and how running is awful and all that. Well maybe you're a little right. I don't like to run. But this is really more about my mental illness. You've been warned.…

Trying To Reset

So the last few weeks of my life have been way too "adult" for me and my physical, mental, and emotional health is starting to wear down. I know things have to change and there will be some uneventful weeks (hopefully) soon in my life. But I wanted to challenge myself and work to accomplish…

Let’s Get Political.

Lets get political, political. You know, like the song? Olivia Newton-John? No, never mind. Anyway, with everything going on in the world I wanted to give my two cents about it all. However, since I know not everyone cares and I don't want to get a ton of Facebook notifications of people writing novels to…
