My cell phone was stolen right from under my nose. Tuesday morning, I woke up a little later than I usually do. This was around 8:30am. My phone was missing. Dillon had told me he had it in his hand that morning and set it right beside our bed, inches away from me. My bedroom […]

Anxiety Mystery: An Unknown Trigger
Well, it’s been an eventful week and weekend. I haven’t posted in a few days since I’ve been house and dog-sitting for my aunt while they were at a weekend getaway. Before that, I jammed my finger. You can only imagine how bad my health anxiety became after that. A little word of advice: Never […]
Suicide: Please, Don’t Go
Warning: May be triggering, to some! I know this may be a sensitive subject, but something is telling me that I need to speak out. I am not a psychiatrist or anyone special, but please, hear my story. In the past, I have contemplated ending my life. Several times, actually. There was even a few […]

Slow Internet, Slow Mind
For the past couple of days, my internet connection has been awfully slow. It seems like it’s taking five minutes for a web page to load, completely. Dillon and I can barely watch Law and Order on Hulu because it buffers every two minutes. A few minutes ago, I was pretty aggravated with it, as […]
Can Mental Health Affect Our Goals?
No, I don’t mean “relationship goals” or “squad goals”. I mean actual achievements that we want to make. Why do we set goals? Well, in the dictionary, it says a goal is “the object of a person’s ambition”. I think each of us has a goal or has had a goal at some point. It […]
“Every Rose Has Its Thorn”
Roses are a signature flower in most gardens. I see why, too. They are big, colorful, and beautiful. My grandmother has a large yellow rose bush next to her dining room window. Everyone compliments her, and even asks to pick one, sometimes. It had many blooms at one point. The yellow petals covered most of […]
