My Empty “Perfect” Art Portfolio
One of my core memories as a little girl involves a voicemail. It was long enough ago that the voicemail was emitted from my family’s home phone; propped nicely in its charger port.

Hopeless Hope
In the quiet corners of a bustling city, amidst the cacophony of life's symphony, lived a woman named Lily. Her heart had been enveloped in darkness for as long as she could remember. An aura of despondency clung to her like a heavy shroud, suffocating her spirit.

Choice and Emotion
I think it is fair to say that most people believe they have only some to very little control over their emotional states. Things happen in our lives, most of which are out of our direct control, and those things cause us to feel certain emotions. A friend dies and we feel sad, we win a contest and we feel happy, we are stuck in an all day meeting and we feel bored, etc. I also think it is fair to say that most people believe we do have some control over our emotions, or at least the depth of them, or at the very least, how much we let them effect us in our daily lives. The question of how much or how little control we have over our emotional states is difficult and probably unanswerable and likely varies greatly between individuals, societies, cultures, sexes, and many other factors. And, while it is an excellent question, it is not the question I intend to explore in this piece. Instead I will assume that we do have some control over our emotional states and ask a slightly different question. Essentially I want to know if we have more or less control over emotional states we view primarily as "bad" or "negative" compared to those we view as "good" or "positive?"

The Tale of Ada, the Renaissance Scribe
Title: The Tale of Ada, the Renaissance Scribe In the bustling streets of Florence during the Renaissance, a child named Ada was born to a family of skilled artisans. Ada's fascination with words and books was evident from an early age, her eyes sparkling with wonder as she listened to the tales told by wandering bards. However, in a time when education was often reserved for the privileged, Ada's dreams of becoming a scribe seemed like an impossible feat.

Conduct disorders
Children and teens sometimes feel the need to be disobedient and rebel against their parents. The behavior, however, is regarded as a conduct disorder when it is persistent, offends others' rights, deviates from established social standards, and interferes with the child's or family's normal daily activities.

From groundbreaking technological revolutions to profound cultural and societal advancements, the world is evolving at a pace that often feels too rapid for us to keep up with.

In this fast-paced environment, each one of us inevitably faces monumental challenges. Our habits are continuously disrupted, the influx of new skills and knowledge to learn seems endless, and at its core, our very mindsets need to pivot to adapt to this brave new world.

Suffering and smiling: how to pretend you're not chronically ill
Research shows that people with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome have the same quality of life as kidney failure patents that are on dialysis. I don’t think a lot of people realize that it’s bad. When I was diagnosed my doctor said that it’s not a death sentence but it might feel like one. I know that I’m not going to get better. I don’t think that I truly made peace with that. It’s not a cold I am not going to wake up one day and be perfectly fine. I don’t think that my family fully understands. My life isn’t about living anymore it was about surviving. I want my life so bad. I’m doing everything I can. 15% of patients with my condition faint. I am sadly apart of that 15%. On the bad days I faint somewhere between 4-9 times a day. It’s a very isolating experience. So the doctors and the clinics everything a patient tries. Anything to get me to remotely feel better.
