Learning to Stop Fighting Alone

I haven’t written in a long time. I keep starting and stopping posts, saving them in my drafts, rewriting them and doing it all over again. I’m having a lot of trouble finding words, or finding something to give to you all that actually means something and will stick with you. So, as I sit […]

High School Relationships– “In Love”

I’m not gonna lie, I’m a huge romantic. Ever since I was in the first grade, I’ve been developing crushes. I distinctly remember having a crush on my first grade best friend, and I pretty much worshipped him. I wrote about him every day in my little diary, and was absolutely heartbroken and devastated when […]

Getting a Little OCD

Okay, yet again, let me preface this post with a little back-story (you’re getting used to this now, aren’t you?)… All of my life, I have been one to keep things rather tidy in my bedroom. I’ve never cared about the rest of my house (which is always messy due to the dogs, my siblings, […]

Social Media Messes With Your Mind

When you read the title, I’m sure you can relate in one way or another. And as I do with almost every post I write, I’ll start with my own personal backstory before beginning… I remember the very first social media account I created was a Twitter when I was in fifth grade. It came […]

How to Know When a Friend is Real

Friends come and go. It’s a way of life. Someone can be your best friend one day, and then all of the sudden, everything has flipped upside down and you’ve both moved on. If you’re a longtime reader of my blog, you’ll know that I’ve had my fair share of friendship drama. For a teenager, […]

Failing to Fit In

I’ve never been one to immediately fit in with a group of people. Even in Kindergarten, when most kids would walk right up to a stranger and become best friends within minutes, I was always an extra wheel that was for a different car model. It’s a place where a lot of people have been; […]

Stress Without Reasoning

Pardon my useless posting within the next few weeks… The title of this post may seem confusing to you. I won’t lie, it’s confusing to me when I read it. But hopefully, with explanation, you’ll be able to understand and connect to what I’m saying. Stress is something everyone experiences many times throughout their lives. […]

There’s No Place Like a Mental Clinic For The Holidays

Let me preface this post by saying I had no intent on writing this seven minutes ago. Seven minutes ago, I had decided not to start Benjamin Button at 1:00 am and go to sleep for once instead of making it through until daylight. I had set my laptop under my bed to resist temptation, checked […]

Children Understanding Death

Death is inevitable, and the people that avoid it and ignore it are just timid and not sure of what to think about it. I’ve known since I was about five years old what it means to lose someone, as I lost my first dog around that time. It wasn’t easy for me at all. […]
