“It’s hard to figure out what’s being caused by my medication, versus a human reaction to someone just being kinda shitty” I absentmindedly drove around my neighborhood and calmly talked out loud to my car speakers while my mom listened on the other end. I had just come back to the area after a disappointing… Read more

Multiple personality disorder is no longer the acceptable term for it, now it’s called “Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).” I remember that by thinking, “oh no, Kevin from the movie Split D.I.D. some crazy shit with his personalities!” This is an extreme, trauma-covering disorder not to be compared to this post’s topic, but I guess I’m… Read more

“Someone should look at you the way they look at the food coming to the table.” So we’re all warped from love in general due to ancient gender roles and expectations from the silver screen, right? We’re getting better at spotting toxicity and we’re all so much more open and forward about love in general.… Read more

“I just don’t feel the spark. You didn’t do anything wrong, I find you attractive and fun, but I just didn’t feel anything more serious.” I laid in bed for a few minutes after this conversation. Truth be told, I didn’t feel any emotions from this because I’ve heard this kind of resolution before. I… Read more

You know it took me two full years before I finally (and secretly) watched the movie “The Dark Knight?” During those two years EVERYONE -for lack of a better phrase- couldn’t shut the f&%$ up about the damn movie.

No one around you is obligated to be patient, be kind, be supportive. Be unconditionally understanding or deal with toxic behaviors in the name of love. Yes, we should all strive to be kinder to one another and be open to understanding everyone’s mental health and/or their backgrounds. This is part of starting a new… Read more

I dunno if you have ever seen a neighbor like this, but his (yes HIS) life is typically decorated like this: His house is average looking. But that’s not the characteristic you’re looking at, no, you’re distracted by the (seemingly) thousands of tiny flags standing at attention around the front yard. You get a tinge… Read more

I do this fun thing now where when I feel overwhelmed, exhausted or just plain “done,” I leave. Yeah, I literally get up and leave. There’s a ridge between my emotions and thoughts. Sometimes there’s one between me and social cues. When I feel emotionally done, they are now off and I am now a… Read more

I LOVE being around others. I love other people. I genuinely believe that if we gave more shits about each other, the world would be so much easier to navigate. It’s hard to explain that I give lots of shits about other people but forget to save some of those for myself. It’s confusing to… Read more
