C'est La Vie
C'est La Vie. Stuff happens. What happened to setting SMART goals? Nothing wrong with goal setting, yet when your world gets ripped apart by a mystery illness (for example) that has made us self-isolate and quarantine since the new decade (2020) has beckoned on our domain...then what can we do? Go with the flow. That is all we can do. The key is to control what we can control, knowing that we can never control everything. For starters, this is just humanly impossible. We are not here to change the world, but rather to live in it, enjoy it, and to achieve as much as we can. Life sucks sometimes. Life is disappointing sometimes too. Life can also be absolutely awesome.

Intervals. Third Place in SFS 8: Pear Tree Challenge.
In the kitchen, I heard your mother sob into the dishes, soapy tears began to run down the drain after the evening’s chores were finally complete. She's spent this last week with the same hollow air that the winter breeze whispers in the dead of night. I swear I can hear her bones as she moves from room to room, so fragile and disassociated. She looks to me often, eyes wet and red with grief, challenging me to offer her comfort. I find this intimacy with someone so unhinged truly frightens me.

Why Am I This Way?
"You're such a Diva." "You're so OVERDRAMATIC." If I could remember all the things I have been called for my overreactions this would be a 50-page blog post. Am I a diva? Probably. Am I overdramatic? Definitely. But not for the reasons you're thinking. I love shoes, makeup, and knockoff sunglasses with bling. I do love attention when I am in a good mood, which is often. I get really into fictional characters. It doesn't matter if it's books, movies, or tv shows and I will tell people everything that happened in a very overdramatic fashion so they completely understand all the important parts.

My Lost Innocence
I am broken pieces of what I used to be. The strong fearless girl, now scattered on the floor. Have you ever noticed how fearless children are? So adventurous and curious. Always getting into something. Parents chasing after them taking things away. Protecting them from the world and themselves. I am sure that I had that at some point. I don't remember. What I remember is catching coffee cans full of frogs to put in the bed with my sister, climbing trees without the fear of heights I have now, and saying whatever came to mind without fear of not being liked. That didn't last long though. That girl had a very short life.

Psychological Impact of Stuttering
Stuttering is a speech-motor disorder that is still widely ridiculed in society. Decades of research have given us insight into the causes, indicators, and symptoms of stuttering, as well as techniques to lessen its severity. Despite all of this, very little research has been done on the less evident signs and repercussions of speech disfluency.
