31 Things I’ve Learned In 31 Years
Throughout life, we experience so many different things and learn so many different lessons
First Blog Post Of 2018
I am learning to love my good days and not break down as badly on my bad days.
Christmas, Best Friends, And Coping Mechanisms
I recently just posted the first poem I have written in almost a year and have to say, it actually felt good to get back into poetry and release some emotion in a healthy way.
Merry Christmas Eve

What Do I Do From Here?
What do I do from here?
Stuck In The Negative
I am always looking at the negatives and tend to overlook the positives.
Perception Of Time
I can’t believe everything that I have been through this year. It’s so surreal. Trying to think back to everything that’s happened feels hazy. Like I cannot even trust my own perception of time.

This is my family, the people who are supposed to love me unconditionally obviously love me conditionally or no longer love me at all, in general.
“I Hate Everything About You”
“…Seriously though, I really do hate everything about you. As much as I hate you though, I feel obligated to love you.”
