Looking back at my last entry, it's so satisfying to be in an internal and physical space that is miles away from where I was when I wrote that post. It's very rewarding to know I've done that for myself and am continuing to do so!Since that post, I've gotten myself a little job out …
Ughhhh
Maybe it's something about the summer, but I feel like my entire body and brain have just given up on everything and I'm dragging myself along resolutely like a tired parent in the grocery store with a petulant screaming child. It's the part of things where I feel zero motivation, zero impetus, zero interest in …
Stumbling Blocks
Some days it's much harder to get going than others. It makes me wish for a teleporter, really. If I think about it, the toughest part of any activity that has become difficult for some reason is starting it. Putting on the ol' exercise pants, chopping up the bell peppers for hummus, or getting in …
It’s Been a Minute!
This blog post is the equivalent of walking into a dormant office that has had much of its furniture carted away. What remains is sort of scattered haphazardly around and there's a pretty definite layer of dust over everything. Also probably some stains on the linoleum and that weird brown splotch on the ceiling panel …
Catchy fun title!
Lately I've been thinking about finding platforms other than this blog to document my health sojourns. Perhaps something more audio-visual would do the trick. Starting a Youtube channel or revamping my nearly defunct Instagram for the purpose or podcasting. There are a lot of benefits to documenting things publicly (sidenote: I just forgot how to …
*dust dust*
Well, uh...hi! I'm back, I think. Trauma definitely has a way of stunting everything you want to accomplish in life, doesn't it? There were a lot of life changes that were squeezed into that absence of mine, and maybe someday I will reveal them in flashback-style life lesson type moments. Or maybe I'll just let …
Eff it.
I started writing this entry several times, trying to delineate my feelings of weird creative crisis. I'll still outline them but I'm going to try not to wallow in them. The bullet points: -I feel like I have no real creative ideas or outlets right now. Just a stew of Doing Nothing. -Any inkling toward …
State of the Me
I suppose honesty time is well overdue in this quarter of my life. There's a lot to sort out and put in this place or that, but writing it all out in the mishmash that I seem to specialize in certainly helps me feel less burdened, if nothing else. Apologies for the circles everyone's about …
Head Above Water, Kid.
I keep intending to write fiction stuff on this blog. You know, the usual fanciful stuff that no one will really read but is really self-indulgent good fun. I could definitely use a dose of escapism right about now. However, it seems like the only words that want to come out are words about my …
The Struggle is Real. Like, really real.
Hello, friends. I've been struggling lately. I've been struggling with emotions, with my depression, with the usual familiar demons Comparison and Not Feeling Like I'm Enough. The best part about these two is that they feed off of each other perfectly like some sort of shitty ouroboros. "Wow, I'm terrible. I bet no one else …
Where The Hell Did I Put My...
