Taboo
The Truth
Ok, it’s time someone finally clears up the myths and stereotypes of drug addicts. When I read books and/or articles about drug addicts, I literally cringe and feel like screaming. So much is said about those suffering from addiction that just isn’t true. So let’s hear it from the heart of someone who has been there… ME.

Camping? Ew.
Why would I voluntarily live like a dog? Okay, so I don’t like hiking or camping. I have a debilitating fear of snakes, I had a very terrifying experience as a child on my great grandparents farm and I have anxiety attacks if there’s one in my immediate vicinity. Have you ever been surprised by a rattlesnake snap at you while you're behind a sliding glass door? The snake snaps as you fall backwards onto your grandmas hideous linoleum floor, while the snake waivers its head at you, watching you while the venom from its strike to the glass drips down like yellow syrup.

Beyond These Walls
The woman standing in front of me is my neighbor but she doesn’t know it. She lives in the unit on the other side of my flat’s northwestern corner wall. And as much as I'd like it, we may not actually share a wall at all, just the empty space in between plywood sheets where mice and rat droppings—and hopefully no snakes—might be found.

My Body Crumbled And Made Me Realize That I Was On The Wrong Life Path
I always had to excel at everything. Now I know it was because I always believed I wasn't good enough. When I was 13 years old I wrote my first screenplay. I read it to my mother and told her that one day I will become a writer.

Just a tiny little snowflake
#mentalhealth #wintermonths #loss #grief #winterblues Have you ever seen a little snowflake up close? If you did, you would be blown away at such incredible detail for such a tiny little piece of ice. It nearly defies logic, seeing all these tiny little snowflakes with such beautiful and unique patterns. How on earth do these things fall out of the sky so perfectly and delicately?

Goodbye Rhea, Hello Mommy
People often talk about the ‘5 stages of grief’ when referring to how to cope with a loss. Often the loss of a family member or friend, a childhood pet, a marriage or even love lost. Grief is rarely considered acceptable when referenced in the loss of one’s former self, the life or person you were before this or that happened. Taboo isn’t even harsh enough of a word to use, when someone (I am someone), uses grief to describe how they feel about their pregnancy or motherhood, because who would do such a thing.

My Friend’s Wife Threatens To Kill Herself If My Friend Leaves Her.
My friend just rang me via our work channel. I found it odd, as we are in two separate departments, we have no work-related topics to discuss together, so there was no need to call me via Microsoft Teams.

I Ruined My Friends Life When I Introduced Him To A Psycho
I have a confession to make — I made a big mistake. One year ago I introduced my close friend to a girl that I didn’t know too well. Last summer my friend went through hell, his wife kicked him out and robbed him because he finally stood up for himself.
