So the other day, while I was changing my sheets, I was thinking about my “new” quilt that I got. Really adorable, looks great with the frame that was gifted to us a while ago, and fits well with some of the décor I got from my grandmother when she moved from her home to in with my aunt. I thought, “oh, I’d like to … Continue reading Personal: Grief is Like That Sometimes

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
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
There are certain pros and cons to working from home. One of the biggest cons is actually related to many little cons; it’s that you can develop and stick with bad habits. It’s easy to throw yourself off, not having a routine, welcome distractions, little things that over time build up to massive problems. I have been thinking a lot about my habits with working … Continue reading Working from Home and Habits

It’s helpful for me to get it off my chest, and might help others to know that someone else out there is going through something similar. As always if you … Continue reading Couples with Mental Health Issues
I wasn’t sure about doing another post like this after just doing one for George A. Romero, however, I needed to get the thoughts down so here it is. I warn you that this will in part seem slightly dismissive and that is not my intention, just my honest feelings on the situation. Over the last few years, my relationship with Linkin Park has been… … Continue reading Thoughts on Linkin Park
My relationship with the horror genre has been… odd. As a kid, I was curious and appreciated horror, but scared easily. I remember reading a book about ghosts in grade school and having nightmares for years as a result. I loved Goosebumps but hated them. I moved from there to my teen years where I went through the pretty normal stage of liking gory, over … Continue reading Remembering George A. Romero
