Revamping Old Poetry

It's been awhile since I've written poetry, so I looked back at some of the previous ones. I thought it would be fun to revamp some and I picked "You Dodged a Bullet." You can let me know what you think: You dodged a bullet from the outside in. My instincts would have thoroughly ripped …

Autumn Rain

Today, I felt more inspired to write. Sitting by my porch with the door open, listening to the autumn rain, undoubtedly turns ones hectic mind into a relaxed state. My mind has not been relaxed in a very long time. Yesterday, was a very bad day for me in terms of my depression, and I …

Do Affirmations Really Work?

So our air conditioner decided to die yesterday morning, after weeks of telling the apartment complex something seemed wrong with it. It's unfortunate that outside, in 90 degree weather with high humidity, is cooler than being in your own apartment. The apartment complex did give us a fan, which we put in the bedroom and …

Things “To Do” and “Not To Do” When You’re Spiraling

My phone has been giving me a hard time lately, so I haven't been able to get on here to write. It wasn't allowing me to access apps or even call and text people. I've gotten it fixed but I do need to get an upgrade. Aside from that, I've also just been playing Sims …

Music, Memory and Emotion

Music has always been that one thing that carries me through tough times. For as long as I can remember, music comforted me in ways that no person I knew could. I still remember each and every song I listened to during the times where I was really struggling. Even now, if I go back …

When I say I "deleted Facebook," I really meant that I deleted the app from my phone and never go on it. It's been one of the best decisions I've made. Honestly, Facebook has always been the worst social media for my anxiety, depression and self-esteem. So, back in 2019, I turned off all notifications …

I started learning Korean almost 1 year ago. I've always had it on my bucket list to learn another language and have attempted Gaelic, Latin, Greek and Spanish. I put more effort into learning Gaelic than the others because I felt more of a connection with it being the language my ancestors spoke. However, one …
