Thank you Vocal
I wanted to make a post to specifically thank Vocal for their site, and sparking a fire in me to give writing a try. I am not a professional writer, and quite honestly don't have the most writing experience other than journaling and some unfinished fan fictions that never made it to the internet. But I've always had this desire to write, even if I am not that great at it.

My Favorite Emo bands of 2021
The first band I have choose is Unwell. I actually discovered them on Tiktok when lead singer Matt Copley did a Punk Rock cover of "Defying Gravity" from the Broadway Musical "Wicked." They also have a wonderful cover of Fast Car, which I have listened to a million times I feel. Aside from covers they have an EP out called New Moons and all the songs are great! They are worth checking out I have left a link above to their Instagram.

My Top 10 Favorite Olsen Twin Movies
Now that all things 90s and 00s is making its way back around with the younger generation, Olsen Twins fan accounts have been popping up on my social media feeds more than ever before. The twins aren't much older than myself so I grew up watching their rise to fame. I remember I got mistaken for one of them once in Las Vegas, best day ever. I thought back then that it would be so cool to live their life, but looking back now I don't think that I could have handled their work schedule. And they even have stated that they look back at photos and don't even feel connected to their childhood.

Down The Rabbit Hole: A Must Read
If you were of a certian age in 2005, you most likely have atleast heard of the TV show "The Girls Next Door." I was 18 at the time and obsessed with this show, the glamours life style, I wanted to be apart of that world one day. I remember wanting to have my 21st birthday party in Vegas at the Palms because of this show. Of course that didnt happen, but I am happy to say a couple of years ago I was finally able to stay there, and I loved it. Up until I ran across Holly's Youtube channel I hadn't watched or thought about this show since 2008. It's been a trend on Youtube recently for stars of these shows to go back and react to the episodes and explain how they were feeling and what was going on. I am all for it, as I love knowing any behind the scenes details about shows I love.

Having a Rough Time
I just needed to vent on here. I am hoping that this post can help someone or they can at least relate. Recently my panic and anxiety has come back with a vengance. I feel greatful to atleast know this is what is going on with my body, but it doesnt make things any less scary. Or frustrating for that matter. I know healing isn't liner, and I am trying to accept my bad days but its so hard to do sometimes. I am on vacation from work, even though its really just a staycation. Being away from work has helped a little bit, but not as much as I had hoped.

After Movie Series
If you are a fan of One Direction, specifically Harry Styles, than you've probably known of the After series since it was a fan fiction on Wattpad. A friend of mine told me about the fanfiction being turned into a movie a few years before the movie came out. I never got a chance to read the story in its original version on Wattpad, but I wish I had. I didn't pay much attention to anything about the series until the first movie came out on Netflix in 2019.

I Met my First Date at Ozzfest
Ozzfest 2001 was actually my first real concert, I was 14 years old. My parents were young so they were there too. I really had no idea what to expect, but I was so excited because so many bands i loved were going to be there. Looking back now its so crazy to think that I got to see Slipknot before they became a headlining band, but cool that I got to see that growth. At this point I had many crushes on guys at school, but other than hanging out at school I never went out on a date.

Summer at the Warped Tour
Ah Warped Tour, a day of heat and craziness. But also some of the best and memorable times of your life. I've been to a lot of festivals, but Warped Tour always holds a place in my heart. A lot of my friends always associate me with metal music, but its really pop/punk and emo music that holds my heart. Don't get me wrong I do love metal, but this music just hits different.

Being Single in your 30s
Dating has changed so much over the years, with everything mostly virtual and so many sites being known for hookups only. I am not here to judge anyone, if you're into just hooking up that is okay! I however should have been born in another generation because for some reason I am still a hopeless romantic. Doesn't exactly go well in a hookup culture. My most recent conversation with a guy on a dating app. has brought me to writing this story today.

Am I still Sober?
My first post here on Vocal was about my journey to sobriety from alcohol. It's called "55 days Sober." I realized that i wrote that article six months ago and never made an update. The question that everyone asks when they see sober posts is "Are you still sober?" The short answer for me is technically no i have had drinks since I've last wrote. But I want to share my story, what I've learned along the way, how I've healed, my future goals etc. This could be a very long post, but I hope that it will help at least one person in their journey of sobriety. One thing I want to note is sobriety does look different for every person, what works for one person may not for another. And that is perfectly okay.

Emo is Back
It's finally happened, I have finally reached the age my parents always talked about. The age where suddenly everything from your childhood/teenage years comes back and is the coolest thing ever. It's a werid feeling honestly, looking back thinking man I remember when that came out. If you grew up in the 90s/00s you know exactly what I am talking about. While I am not excited that low rise jeans are making a comeback, I am excited that emo music is coming back. One thing that has changed is these days its cool to be into emo music. When I was young you got made fun of if you were into anything other than what was cool. I guess I was just ahead of my time back in the early 00's.

Living with Health Anxiety
National Mental Health awareness was on Sunday October 10th, and I am of course posting this a few days late. I think that everyday should be mental health awareness day if we are being honest.I feel like it's very misunderstoond, and many feel guilty when they have a mental health disorder or bad mental health day. I am very happy that the world is begining to aknowledge mental health more, but I do feel like we have a long way to go.
