Dealing With FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) In Your 20's
FOMO- fear of missing out. Yeah it sucks and there is no shielding yourself from it when it strikes. There is just simply riding it out. It is always hard to put into words the mental and sometimes physical journeys you go through in life and the articulation even more so. However, there is something rewarding (I think is a good way to put it) about learning to articulate or even just sharing without fear of judgement what you go through.

My Personal Journey to Finding a Therapist and How I Got There
Hello everyone! Long time no see. That is obviously on me, like duh. I have been having quite the journey while I have been away. I thought that it would only be fitting as I come back to kind of catch you all up on what exactly I have been doing.

I Faced My Fear By Falling In Love With You
I am a girl born and made in the dessert. Prickly pear cacti, dunes, auburn rock formations and no green in sight made the landscape of the place I call home. Heat was the only element I had a keen sense of awareness of, an element I knew how to handle.

Just Because Something Is Dark Does Not Mean There Is Not Hope
Many say that it must be hard to write stories of sorrow or despair. It seems unfathomable that the words you read are words that people can go through. The news that bring death, loss of dreams, hopelessness, and any other bad thing seem but a distant memory to those that have not felt the keen sting of life. That have not had to struggle to go on.

Because You Will Only Ever See Me As A Villain, I Am Taking Myself Out Of The Narrative
I have been written as the villain in your story for so long that I have just decided that I will act like it. I will become every bit the selfish, narcissistic, direspectful asshole that you think I am. No longer will I allow you to just write my story for me.

Am I the Monster You Think I Am?
For so long I have acted the part of the monster. I do not blame you for thinking that is what I have become. The thing about monsters is that we are not the evil you all seem to think we are. We just never can do anything right in your eyes. We are something to fear, to mock, to scorn, to abandon. No matter what we do, how we change we will never be good enough.

Seeing the Humanity of Our Favorite Celebrities
Humanity does not get lost when fame and wealth enter the picture. Sometimes we lose the relatable image with our favorite celebrities, even they seem to lose their own relatability to most, but then there are moments like these. . .
