To Thine Own Self Be True
Note: One of my college classes this semester required us to write a ‘blog post’. This was my submission. Maybe I’ll start writing here regularly again… Authenticity: adjective When I was asking people what words they’d use to describe me, I heard quite a variety. But one came up almost every time: authentic. It’s a…
Mental ‘Wellness’
My thoughts on the Mental Wellness industry. Warning: this post is a bit of a rant.
Just write something!!!
Challenging myself to write something. Anything. Hardest part of writing, from what I understand, and am now experiencing, is just getting started. Forming that initial idea that sparks everything else after it. That said, I know that when I have that issue, I like to say that it’s because I can’t think of anything; but…
Doppelganger

I mean, I’ve lived in society…but I’ve never really thrived. It’s honestly just felt like setback after setback,…

I was interviewed this week by Russ LeBlanc as part of his podcast for Club ADHD! Club ADHD is a community started by Russ with the idea of supporting adults with ADHD. I talked with Russ about what it’s like to be an adult who was recently diagnosed with ADHD. If you want to see…
Building a Better Me
“Who are you that lies When you stare in my face?Telling me that I’m just a trace Of the person I once was’Cause I just can’t tell If you’re telling the truth or a lieOn you I just can’t rely, After all you’re just a piece of glass” “Piece of Glass” by Caedmon’s Call “I…
