Welcome to the blog!
Everything you’re about to read is based on my own experience. It may be a personal take on something, a way to cope, or a helpful anecdote. Read on and let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to write about.

What 2021 taught me…
This is officially the longest I’ve gone without a new blog post since this blog has existed. Needless to say I’ve been busy, depressed, and downright exhausted. I’ve been running on fumes since about mid-September. Some days it’s good exhaustion (like staying out till 4am because friends were in town). Some days it’s bad exhaustion (aka my job is killing me). Either way, I simply haven’t had the energy to write or really even been in the best headspace to do so. However, with the year winding down I thought I’d do something new for this year’s end of year post…
Letting people in
In one of my early posts at the start of this blogging journey, I posed a question: What does depression look like? I then went on to describe what depression looks like in me and what people tend to perceive depression to be and so on. I think using this platform early on to talk openly and candidly about my mental health has really helped to share my personal experience in a very transparent way. I’ve been really open about my struggles and even if no one really reads these posts, like I said in my very first blog in October 2019, it exists as a “living memoir” of where I am at any given time.
Feeling like a crash test dummy
You know that feeling when you’re just crashing over and over again and no matter how many times you crash it just keeps happening? That’s where I am right about now. My whole life has felt like a test… and I keep getting an F. I can’t remember a single year of my life where something monumental or life-changing or devastating didn’t happen. You’d think that eventually the universe would give me a break, but it hasn’t happened yet.
Between a rock and another rock under miles of ocean
Every time I think I’ve finally gotten myself over a really difficult hill, I find that I’ve really just been resting on a plateau and there’s still more to climb. I don’t fall backwards but all I can see is the towering mass in front of me that’s waiting for me to conquer it. That’s about where I am right now.
Is it ok to judge someone based on their education?
Fair warning, I am writing this post after a comment that was made in regards to my education so it might be a little ranty. I'll try my best to keep this chill.
