First of all, I am by no means an author, writer, or anything close to that. I’m not a savvy public speaker (aside from a few rare occasions), so this is all very strange and foreign to me.

Life has dealt me a weird hand. Not a bad one that I want to throw away, but not the best one either. Just, a weird one. First of all, I’ve been very fortunate in my life to always have been provided for, cared for, loved, supported, and put in my place when needed. I have a great family, and amazing friends. I have my cat, Maddy, who has become my little sidekick through all of this. About 2 years ago I pretty blindly moved to Phoenixville after making a terrifying career change and honestly, have never been happier.

I have no idea how far I’ll take this blog, how often I’ll write, update, or whatever it is you do, but I feel like this is a good outlet. I’ve come across a lot of people who may be able to sympathize, empathize, connect, agree, disagree, judge, or whatever else people do on the internet and in real life.

“Perspective is often the key to happiness”

I’ve been doing a lot self-reflecting, and talking, about the state of my mental health lately. Often times I find myself hyper focused on the fact that I’m not “100% okay” and therefore need to classify myself as “not okay”. It makes me come across, and feel like, a much more negative person than I’d… Continue reading “Perspective is often the key to happiness”

Am I good enough?

This is the question that keeps me up at night. In talking to my therapist recently, we uncovered, uh….. a lot. And, she assured me that I’m not alone in this, and that more people than I realize feel the way I do. So, here we go… I live my life in a constant state… Continue reading Am I good enough?

Is this thing on?

It’s been…. A while…. Since I’ve written. I got burnt out on life, and wasn’t feeling creative or expressive in this way. A lot has happened. I’m back in therapy. Getting my anxiety and depression meds sorted out. (I’m doing BetterHelp. I know therapy is close to impossible for people to get into right now,… Continue reading Is this thing on?

Weighing in

So, you may or may not know I’ve been on a recent journey to getting healthy. Mainly losing weight, and then whatever else comes along with that. Small things, like totally changing my relationship with food 😅. It’s honestly been a weird ride. Weird that I’m sticking to it, weird that it’s working, and weird… Continue reading Weighing in

Looking for cheekbones and confidence

Wow, it’s uh, been a while. Quarantine has been interesting to say the least. I haven’t been writing (obviously) and have been going through a rollercoaster of emotions. If you read my last post, you’ll remember that even at the beginning of quarantine life was a mess. Well, it only progressed from there. My mental… Continue reading Looking for cheekbones and confidence

It ain’t easy being wheezy

I haven’t written in a while, and due to the current shitshow of the world, felt inclined to do so. We all have our opinions of how it is and was handled, the politics around it, and all that other stuff, but I’m not going to get into that here. I do want to talk… Continue reading It ain’t easy being wheezy

#sorrynotsorry

I’ve come to realize that we live in such an apologetic world. In some ways. I know there are many ways in which the world is very unapologetic. We tend to apologize for so many things, that really, we don’t have to be sorry for. I personally need AA (Apologizers Anonymous). I say sorry for… Continue reading #sorrynotsorry

Started from the bottom and now we’re here

One year ago, I wrote my first blog post. I was frustrated with a fibromyalgia flare up (and, ironically have a bad one again). I posted something on facebook about it and had a few people reaching out asking what fibromyalgia actually is. Instead of writing a realllllly long facebook post, I decided to create… Continue reading Started from the bottom and now we’re here

Good things come to those who keep fighting

About 14 years ago I was “officially” diagnosed with fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, and insomnia. This was after years of dead-end doctor appointments and being told that I’m “just a moody kid going through growing pains”. Well, first of all, at age 16 I was pretttttty sure I was done growing. No one knew why I… Continue reading Good things come to those who keep fighting

The Roaring 20’s

2019 was a hard year, to say the least. A bit of an uphill battle at times. But, as hard as it was, it was also rewarding, and full of learning and growth. If this year has taught me anything, it’s that I can, and will, overcome hard things. As crazy as this year was… Continue reading The Roaring 20’s
