Everything Happens For A Reason
If there was a way for me to share every detail of my mental health journey, people wouldn’t believe me. They would think I’m exaggerating. I’ve been to countless numbers of doctors in all different states and I’ve been admitted to hospital after hospital which insurance wouldn’t always cover. When I was eight, doctors diagnosed [...]
Look What I Found!
I was spending some free time watching youtube. One of the guys I subscribe to named Alex posted a video back in October announcing a new product for procrastination.

And as a teen, specifically High School, that was not considered “cool”. Having faced many hardships with my health, I had to grow [...]
Girl in Shining Armor
I’ve had a such a nice, normal week…..did I really just say that? I haven’t said that in over seven months! This week and the simplicity of it was something I never expected to really feel again. Tasks such as waking up in the morning, brushing my teeth, and getting dressed are actually easy right [...]
The Train
To be honest, my last post wasn't my best work. I'm not very happy with it. Today I decided to give you guys an extra post for this week. I hope you enjoy it! I remember the feel of my bed after a long exhausting day. This bed has been with me since the day [...]
Popping Bubbles
As a child, one of my favorite activities was going outside on a nice sunny day and blowing bubbles. The best time to do it was early spring; the 40-50º (f) weather seems to reach out and pull you by the hand that time of year. The snow is mostly melted and the sun is no [...]
