“Thank you for all that you do.”

Seven words that make an impact — I warmly thanked a UPS deliveryman today with this brief message. His response was: You’re welcome! Thank you for noticing me. The latter part of his response, along with the look of surprise on his face when I thanked him, made me think about how often service industry workers are…

“Othering” is a major problem.

You lose the ability to connect with someone when you cast them as an “other” — That’s my word for too much “us vs. them” in American politics. I didn’t come up with this idea myself: my history teacher brought it up in my class, American Dreams, American Realities. He called it the “foreign devil myth.” America was often founded with “us vs. them” in mind…

Blogging and social media are bringing me closer to people

How sharing and opening up have their perks — I recently started my new hobby: cooking. I wasn’t expecting the outpouring of support from my Facebook friends. I had people commenting about the versatility of Instapot, as well as several DM’s. One of my friends bought me an Instant Pot, and I’m excited to try and use it next week. …

Reconnecting with my nerdy self

Holding on to the little joys in life — I embrace my nerdiness. Back when I was in college, I wanted to be like the cool kids. Or the smart, ambitious kids. The kids who seemed to have endless amounts of time to party, whose social skills were extraordinary, who walked through campus with purpose and determination. I wanted to be like them…

Spring break 2023

Self-care to the max — My spring break was this past week. I had a therapist and a psychiatrist appointment, and they honestly weren’t too helpful. I didn’t learn any new tips besides that I need to take shorter naps so they don’t disrupt my sleep cycle. But I have been reading a lot of…

Sometimes late at night, the pain arrives.

My chest tightens. Breathing becomes ragged. Pain shoots into my chest. Another case of heartburn. Open the pill bottle, down water with a Pepcid and pray. The feeling stays. I…

When is it time to give up?

When do you throw in the towel? — I thought I was doing really well, and then everything came crashing down. My body and mind needed rest. I needed to reset both to function again. When do you stop trying? …

A scattered status update

When you’re depressed, showing up is half the battle. I would never wish it on even my worst enemies. (Although I don’t honestly have “enemies.” I’m too much of a people pleaser to make enemies somehow.) Right now, I’m still addicted to social media, video games, and books. I try…
