The Tremendous Benefits of Writing It Out. Content Warning.
Over the course of last few hours, I’ve just been writing nonstop. If you take a look at my latest posts, you’ll likely gather really quickly that I haven’t been feeling the greatest lately. I’ve decided to make this third story a little more candid than the poem I posted earlier this evening, which was… descriptive, yet vague.

Cutting the Red Tape: Understanding the Connection Between Depression and Addiction. Content Warning.
Depression, with its intricate web of emotions and experiences, manifests uniquely in each person it touches. Yet, amidst the complexity of symptoms, one crucial sign of depression often slips through the cracks: addiction and substance abuse. Growing up in a family in which addiction was seemingly woven into our DNA, I've come to understand how addiction can create a deceptive veil. Too often, I watched a concoction of parties, loud music, and substance abuse mask the silent suffering of loved ones' depression, tucking it away slyly under the guise of revelry.

What is Borderline Personality Disorder?
Borderline personality disorder is a mental disorder characterized by unstable moods, behaviors, and relationships, and it usually involves general instability, impulsivity, relationship difficulties, intense fears of abandonment and rejection, distorted self-image, and often self-harm. I wanted to make this video to kind of break down what borderline is, how to manage it and cope with it if you struggle with it, and if you don’t personally struggle with it, but you know someone who does, how you can help them. I was inspired to write this article based on an interaction I had in the comments on YouTube, so thank you to that viewer for the inspiration.

When Everything happens all at Once. Content Warning.
Has anyone ever felt overwhelmed when to many things happen all at once? Like it's so much to take in. We don't know what to say or do. Like everyone is moving quickly and we are lingering slowly. Sometimes I wish the world would slow down. For things not to happen all at once so I can catch up.

The sorrowful life of a man (part 1)
I was happy with my parents, we would go out and have good meals then it was just me and my mum, my dad included. I was his favorite then I would do all sorts of bad things as a child and my dad would just watch me and smile when I was TWO years old.

Behind the Microwave Door
The microwave's shrill electronic cry shattered the concentrated silence Sarah had cultivated for the past hour. A cruel countdown to the looming deadline that hung over her like a storm cloud. With a sigh that rumbled from the depths of her being, she slammed her laptop shut, the satisfying click a defiant act against the suffocating pressure. Reaching for the familiar cotton oven mitt hanging by the stove, it offered a small comfort against the pre-meeting jitters that had taken root in her stomach.
