Are You Dealing With Grief?
Grief is a natural response to loss. It can be triggered by the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or any other type of major change. While everyone experiences grief in their own way, there are five common stages that people often go through denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Learning about these stages can help you understand your own grief process and provide support for someone who is grieving.

How Catcalling Affected Me As A Child. Content Warning.
When I was 12, I got catcalled for the first time. It was almost 100 degrees and I put on a nice outfit to go out with my friend to the market. I wore a simple shirt and shorts, an outfit that I thought was perfectly acceptable, especially considering the weather. I was walking with my friend down the street and a man said "Wow those are big" My friend was younger than me, and she had never heard anyone say something so vulgar before so she was shocked but we kept walking. All the way until we got to the end of the road where we met up with some other girls. Even though she was shocked, she ended up telling the girls we met up with, and everyone had a good laugh about it. I wanted to say I didn't think it was funny and it made me uncomfortable, but I didn't want to spoil their fun. So I kept my mouth shut, and ignored it until I got home.

A Few Thoughts about Drugs
I have no idea why I never became an addict. As I have written previously, I had some difficult moments in my childhood and had to find a way to handle the pain in my life. Food was the only real option available, besides the reading, writing and guitar-playing. Of course, this was not a set of options that went unnoticed. My weight gain was commented on, but no one asked the question, “Why?” Why was I doing this to myself? Why did I eat so much when it reached the point where it was no longer providing any real pleasure? And why didn’t anyone stop me?

Rules for Managing Anxiety in Daily Life.
People dealing with anxiety often find it tough to set boundaries. It's a bit of a catch-22 because establishing a boundary can trigger their anxiety, but not having one can do the same. Many anxious folks are also quite sensitive and empathetic, which makes them more likely to put others' needs ahead of their own. If you're someone who feels anxious, the idea of setting boundaries might make you feel uneasy.
