It has been a while since I have done a post like this. This is just my personal opinion on a situation and nothing more. I am not arguing for or against it or wanting to pick a fight with people with varying opinions, although if you want to comment and discuss, please do; just know I don’t want to fight with you. I see … Continue reading Thoughts: Microsoft Buying Activision
This is something I’ve thought about before, and for obvious reasons, it is coming up again. I will get no love for this, especially as people will likely (rightfully) take it as a bit of an attack on women politicians they support, but here we are. We are much too generous with the word feminism. It has always struck me as ironic how much people … Continue reading Thoughts on Feminism
I wrote this a while ago and debated on sharing. It has felt appropriate again lately. This is not the first time I have discussed this problem, but here we go. For a few years now, there has been this rise in the idea of being more positive, and for the most part, I support it. I support the idea of looking for the good … Continue reading Thoughts: Toxic Positivity
Every so often, the conversation over bad reviews, negative takes, talking about movies we hate, etc. comes up. There seems to be two schools of thought on this, although I think (as with most things on the internet) that most of us are more open to a nuanced conversation but that we get in our own way because social media has driven us all a … Continue reading My Take on Negative Takes
Over the years of running this blog (and writing for other sites), people may have noticed a certain slant that I have towards the horror genre, at least in terms of movies. It is my most frequently watched genre, one that I love a great deal, and one that I even have written creatively in. I thought I would take a moment during this October … Continue reading Why Horror
I have been sharing pictures and a few thoughts from my recent trip, but I haven’t really slowed down to write about the experience itself and what it did for me. Honestly, the trip was great for me. I came home feeling better mentally and emotionally. It is no secret that I have been feeling stressed and depressed for years now, and it has been … Continue reading Trips I’d Like to Take
I had my doubts about getting married. It wasn’t doubts about marrying Ben but about the concept in general. Every time I would start to plan or think about it I would panic and back off, thinking it was something I could never do. Ben was patient, never pressured me, and let me work through it on my own, in my own way, in my … Continue reading For Ben
This is not the first time I’ve talked about this subject, and as always with my mental health posts, I am not a mental health professional. However, I wanted to discuss the glamorized version of self-care we often see on the internet and why it’s not always self-care. One of the great things with the internet and mental health is that it’s helped us to … Continue reading Self-Care
So this might seem like a bit of an odd topic for me to blog about, especially considering how open I have been about my desire to be a more positive person. I want to make it clear that I think striving to be more positive is a good thing. We are, in general, fairly negative people. We spend more time talking about the things … Continue reading The Trouble with Positivity
Someone (who will remain unidentified) asked me to help explain depression to a loved one, and I was hesitant. It’s not that I lacked the desire to help them, but rather that I felt I lacked the expertise. First problem I see is that depression is different for each person, there are a few shared symptoms, but how they manifest and to what degree changes … Continue reading What Depression is Like: How I Feel
