  • If We All Knew Healthy Coping Mechanisms Most Of Us Wouldn’t Have A Blog

    What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings? Usually I like to cope with my emotions by not coping with them at all, or at least permanently. You see, there’s always something to be bummed by. And once you finally get over one thing, there’s another thing right around the corner to make…

  • What makes you feel nostalgic? I’m old I guess. It doesn’t feel like I’m old but simultaneously I’m reminded of it when I think of something that I thought wasn’t that long ago and realize it’s been 20+ years. I’m nostalgic for a time before Facebook and instagram, Tik Tok, Snapchat, and Twitter. I feel…

  • Nothing Hurts Quite Like Family

    I’ve always envied people who had big families. Growing up I spent so much time alone wishing I had a sibling or cousins or anyone. Instead, my mom tried to be my friend and I had our dog. I often feel that the reason I am unfamiliar with the meaning of boredom is because I…

  • I answered one of those daily prompts about something that I needed to do but hadn’t. I railed and whined about how my health was in a bit of a bad spot and that the great American way of have health insurance or go fuck yourself, was not working well for me. I knew I…

  • The ‘Greatest’ Nation

    What have you been putting off doing? Why?  I’m sitting here wiping away tears trying to find something to feel positive about for fear that my stress will make everything worse. You see, I’m avoiding getting my bloodwork done and seeing my doctors. Ever since I was fired by a company that doesn’t even deserve…

  • What is your favorite hobby or pastime? I have no idea what my favorite hobby or past time is as it changes with the wind. Maybe it’ll be collecting perfume this week, maybe next week I’ll go back to researching places in the map, or now it’s binging about shipwrecks. Hey remember that covid idea…
