My Tattoo
Throughout a large portion of my life, I struggled with my mental health. I hated myself, I hurt myself, and I planned ways to leave the world. It was a long and painful journey to get to where I am today. After moving out, I was able to properly face my problems and find ways…

Follower or Leader
Are you a leader or a follower? As the oldest child, I tend to be more of a leader. I often had to help solve problems or just help take care of the kids in general! I am also typically the oldest in my friend group and the most likely to make a decision when…

Living Freely
Freedom is defined as many things: the ability to speak against the government without repercussions, exemption from responsibilities, liberation from power, etc. I live in America so I could talk about how we have freedom to speak against injustices, but we still have to live within the constraints of lower class.

Careful Wearing Purple
A few years ago, I decided to meet a friend for coffee to catch up and talk about life. We were friends through church and I had a massive crush on him for a while before getting over him. It was a nice chilly day, so I wore my favorite purple sweater. It’s a warm…

Time to Get Serious
My girlfriend and I spent the entire week this week looking at houses. We’d like to rent a place and while my girlfriend found her dream home, there was a $35 application fee. We’re finding some places with $80 application fees! These application fees are for every tenant over 18, meaning we’d have to pay…

A Week to Turn Upside Down
Last week has been absolutely insane and I don’t even know how to process it! On Easter last Sunday, I went to my parents and my teenage brother and I got to talking. He has this idea for a really cool difficult sandbox survival type game. He’s decided to start taking coding classes next year…
