Running Out Of Options

Options are overrated. The more we allow ourselves to have the more anxiety we create around decision making. If there were only one choice to make then it would make the decision easier thus alleviating any remorse for all the “what if” scenarios we convince ourselves is better.

The Macaroni Has Hit the Fan

Being impulsive is both a curse and a blessing. On one hand you get to jump into something fearlessly. On the other hand you get to jump into something naively.

Disconnected

Changing a habit is never easy. It takes stepping outside your boundaries. For some that’s easy. For others, not so much. Every time I embark on a quest to improve something, my body revolts. I don’t think it’s so much as it’s way of saying “Hell no we won’t go” but more like a timid toddler that keeps falling asleep while insisting they’re not tired.

Woe is my Inner Cinderella

I’ve always identified with the Disney character Cinderella. I had an imaginary mouse as my BFF when I was an only child. Growing up with a vivid imagination to a teen mom and her warped mom didn’t do much to nurture what was later self-proclaimed as my whimiscal self. However the months of childhood neglect [...]

Hitting Rock Bottom

My What If LifeSometimes Daily

Hitting Rock Bottom

I always envisioned that my version of “smashing into a tree” would be medically related. Something where I’d be inflicted with some preventable disease, as my body’s way of retaliating against my poor decisions. I never thought I would find myself staring down the barrel of a ill-timed checkpoint, without the proper credentials to justify [...]
