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…

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…

Lighthouse
We all have demons, plaguing our minds We all have darkness, consuming our souls Run as you might, but you’re still behind Fight as you might, but you still won’t be whole You start falling, into the abyss Fear grips your heart, your past is catching up Crying, no one can save you from this…

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…

Happy with my Strengths
What are you good at? Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Of course, I have some weaknesses, I fall apart when my routine changes and I’m not the best with my money, but I still have a lot I can do! I’m a hard worker and I’m very determined to reach my goals! I’m a…

Breaking Tradition
I’ve only lived on my own for almost two and a half years. Some traditions don’t entirely make sense to keep, like hunting for Easter eggs early Easter morning, but I do still enjoy visiting my family for holidays! My family tends to do a toast on New Year’s and while my roommates wanted to…

Beginning a New Chapter
I left. I’ll be honest, I had a cushioned life when I lived with my parents. Financially, we had everything we needed. If I really wanted to make a name for myself, it would have been a lot easier to do it under their roof. However, I was at that age in which I just…

I Deserve a Chance
You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence? An autobiography is not just the story of someone’s life. It discusses a specific topic in one’s life; how my religion affected my life, my journey in writing, discovering and coming out as pan, my mental health journey, etc. I would start each story differently to set…
