Music in my Mind
I love the way music makes me feel. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve used music to help me deal with my auditory processing disorder and just feel normal. When I was in elementary school, I had this CD called “Girl Authority” which is just a bunch of songs empowering girls sung by younger…

Fixing my Mornings
My morning routine recently changed as I started focusing on writing again. If I’m completely honest, the first 30 minutes to an hour is me just laying in bed trying to get up. My alarm goes off at 10:30 and I try to get out of bed by 11 or 11:30 to start my day.…

The Bigger Picture
How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals? I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was 11. Some may think it’s a bit short sighted to work on something I’ve wanted as a kid. Things change as you grow, right? Over the years, I’ve only grown in my…

Fighting my Demons
I moved out when I was 21. I moved in with my now girlfriend and her family for a bit before we got our own apartment. Shortly after that, we started dating. This friend and I both agreed on a lot of things and we knew getting a place together was going to work, and…

Introverts Need to Decompress
My girlfriend and I call it decompressing. It doesn’t even have to be a demanding day, just a long day or honestly any kind of day. We’re both introverts and we’re neurodivergent, so we tend to burn out very quickly. Even though I’m usually at my job for about five hours a shift, driving two…

Thanksgiving Outings
I have a lot of memories of going on vacation with my family. We used to go to the beach every year growing up. I remember a lot of bits and pieces but as I grew older I stopped enjoying the beach. As a kid, my brother and I would dig for mussels and sand…

Fixing the Routine
What do you wish you could do more every day? There’s a lot I want to accomplish in a day. I don’t necessarily need to feel like I’ve climbed a mountain at the end of each day, but it would be nice to know I was taking the right steps to care for myself. Mental…

My Littlest Friend
I wouldn’t call it the “coolest” thing I’ve ever found but I have a cicada I found while I was still in college on one of my shelves. It’s still in one solid piece and holds fond memories of that day. I had just pulled into a parking spot on campus when I heard a…

Fall Tranquility
I haven’t put a lot of thought into my favorite month before now. I tend to prefer the colder seasons when the heat isn’t stifling and the insects are less active. I love wearing cozy sweaters and knitted beanies or sipping hot cocoa while snuggled up under the blankets. There’s a lot of crazy stuff…

Instinct Vs Desire
Yes and no. I think overall I do trust my instincts but I’m often lazy and want so badly to trust something that I ignore them. It’s gotten me into a lot of trouble in the past and I doubt I’ve outgrown it. A few months after moving into my apartment, I needed a second…
