Am I Crazy?
I've been admitted to the psychiatric ward of the hospital three times. You could call me crazy. You could say that I was in the "mad house" or "crazy ward". Maybe it's true, maybe I am crazy. Maybe there are some parts of the hospital that are for "crazy" people. But my experiences have been perfectly normal, and have taught me a lot about others.

44/52: Week One - The Intake
05/05/2019: The Intake So my day isn’t going very well. Yes, I know you didn’t ask, but we are both here so let’s make the best of a shitty situation shall we? Like I was trying to say before you rudely rolled your eyes, my day is not going very well. My boss left a vague, yet detailed passive aggressive note in my employee box this morning. It said the following.

The Great Question of Suicide
It was Albert Camus who first brilliantly framed for us perhaps the most monumental question man might ever decide. For hundreds upon hundreds of years the great thinkers had been arguing over how we came to know anything, where the concept of beauty came from, and how we ought to live; all these questions presupposing the most intimately personal decision of all, whether to go on living or to not.

An Inquiry on My Life
I like to think I have a comfortable life, good family, nice friends, and good stuff but I can't help but stress and panic. I'm in college for now, although summer break is coming up and I find myself panicking. I find myself out of control and trying to pretend that I have it. I find myself wondering if I speak what's on my mind will anybody care to hear me and if they do, how bad will it change their opinion of me.

The Negative Effects That MDMA (Molly) Has on the Brain
Looking at the American society, especially within its millennial subculture, drugs have become a huge commodity, from cocaine and marijuana to methamphetamines and psychedelics—although the main drug that has seemingly taken over the party scene recently in the past few decades is the drug commonly known as "Molly," ecstasy, or MDMA. This drug is used mostly at raves or clubs, where the atmosphere is to “party until you drop.” Basically, when a person takes molly, all of their senses are heightened and the person is given a euphoric feeling for about two to five hours. This drug can be consumed orally, sniffed, or any way one can ingest the substance.

Self Sabotage
I have attempted writing this story since the last time I decided to start the whole blogging thing. It's been two months since then. Here goes nothing. I think we all know a little something about self sabotage. It is in our nature. How can you not? We all have these thoughts that continue to enter our mind that prevent us from being the best versions of our selves. They make us hide away in our corners just hoping someone will help pull you out. It absolutely sucks. There is nothing we can do about it unless our will for happiness is stronger than our own sadness. What if that will isn't strong enough? What exactly are we supposed to do? I wish I had the answer to that question. Then I would be writing a positive post instead of a sad one. But every blogger has their moments, and I'm deciding that this is going to be mine. One of many might I warn you.
