I don’t have a relationship with money. Even when I have plenty to pay all my bills, save some, and do fun stuff, it never really feels like enough. I read a book once that said that you have stress about things that were surrounded by stress in your formative years. I knew that IContinue reading “Must Be Funny, In a Rich Man’s World”

A Little Medicine Mishap
I’ve posted a blog about my medicine before and I’ve talked a lot about it on the podcast as well. Recently, someone asked me my opinion on prescription drugs for mental illness. Though I’m very loud and proud about how helpful prescription antidepressants have been here for me, that question made me realize that someContinue reading “A Little Medicine Mishap”
A Goodbye to 2019
The last few New Years, I’ve entered feeling a sense of dread and emptiness. I always thought that the year had been this big failure. I didn’t get skinny, rich, or super successful…. so it was a wash, right? This year, I felt different about the promise of a new year though. Maybe I’m stillContinue reading “A Goodbye to 2019”
Test Anxiety, No More!
So, you’ve read a lot of blog posts about how I’ve grown into this kinda effffed up person….. but, I finally have a reverse of that! I never thought I would see the day, but here we go. I outgrew (idk if that’s the right verb, but stick with me, okay?) my test anxiety. WhenContinue reading “Test Anxiety, No More!”
Holiday Season SCARIES
Now that I’m of drinking age (and let’s be honest, a couple years before my 21st bday) holidays just kind of include alcohol. For God’s sake, we call the day before Thanksgiving “Blackout Wednesday” in my hometown….for obvious reasons. Every year, I am a literal dumbass. This year, I even convinced myself that my ownContinue reading “Holiday Season SCARIES”
Sad with SAD? Huh?
I’ve been trying to write this one for a while. I’m not kidding, I have about 6 drafts of this thing half written that I’ve like kind of scrapped but that I like some parts of… which is honestly kind of on brand for the topic, I guess. Let me first start off by sayingContinue reading “Sad with SAD? Huh?”
Wait, you take MEDS?
Yes. Yes, I do! Believe me, there wasn’t always a time when I would proudly proclaim that to the world & there’s still people in my life that think this skeleton should be shoved back in the closet. Nah. It’s out here, because taking medication is nothing to be ashamed of. When I tell peopleContinue reading “Wait, you take MEDS?”
Fat AND Fabulous? HOW?
A couple years ago, I wrote an article for my school news source called “What I Learned from Being Called Fat”. If you really want to see where my head was at in 2016, you’re welcome to read it here: https://babe.net/2016/10/16/ive-learned-called-fat-4511 But, I figured I should do an update on that post. I stand byContinue reading “Fat AND Fabulous? HOW?”
Forgiving, But Not For Nothing
I have been absolutely overwhelmed by the amount of love and support that I got in my last blog. At the time of writing this, this website with ONE (1) post has over 425 visitors. 300 interactions in the first 24 hours. That’s so crazy guys (and yes, I did cry tears of happiness. LotsContinue reading “Forgiving, But Not For Nothing”
Purpose from Pain
For a long time, I’ve felt like the victim in my own life. I’ve constantly questioned why the Universe, or God, or whatever the hell is up there calling the shots. I’m a good person, good friend, and I was a really good girlfriend. So, why was I being tested? Honestly, this mindset is justContinue reading “Purpose from Pain”
