See what I did there.. worked real hard on that title. I wanted to blog about this because I generally have in the past when I try something new for my depression, so I didn’t wanna discriminate. My friend volunteers for a group where they raise money for veterans to be able to afford a Read More

Grinchmas and Welcoming 2023 with Open Arms
So, I’m definitely feeling a little grinchy this year. I used to SHIT Christmas out the ass, and December 24th was my favorite day of the year. But.. the last few years have been rough. There are so many amazing things happening in my life, but there’s SO much of it that my level of Read More
Blah Blah Blah
I had like, a good day today, so it kinda made me feel like writing. I wasn’t even in the mood to watch tv, which is rare, but I felt like I should continue to be productive. Shout out to my man Chris Columbo and the Indigenous Peoples for giving me the day off. It’s Read More
To The Boy Who Ruined Me
As for many of us, there was the one that got away. The “soulmate” you meet and things are so perfect that you can’t imagine anything better. It’s all fucking there. And then things come to an abrupt end. You’re left with more questions that you can’t ask because you won’t get an answer. You Read More
Not dead yet
Yes, this is another song about depression. But, I promise if there’s ever one that’s worth reading, it’s this one. I was introduced to this song recently on a whim, then proceeded to listen to it on repeat for an excessive period of time. I’ll stop here and continue after the lyrics. (Song and lyrics Read More
Road to Gatlinburg: Part 3
Day 3 (continued): On Tuesday, I made the hike up Laurel Falls Trail. It was only a three mile hike, but I wanted my incredibly out of shape ass to start with something slow. The hike up was pretty, but nothing crazy special. It was calming, yet filled with people carrying babies, grandparents, and definitely Read More
Road to Gatlinburg: Part 2
Day 1: It’s Sunday at 5:26 a.m., and I am leaving my casa. Stopping for windshield wiper fluid like my father asked me to, Dunkin’, then peace out Chitown. It feels weird to be going away alone for a week, especially to a place that’s not Florida, and I felt myself tearing up a couple Read More
Road to Gatlinburg: Part I
This story begins where Rogers ends. Once my treatment ended, I very quickly realized that I was not yet healed (shocker), but was also having an incredibly hard time adjusting to day to day life. While I’m grateful for having done it, it kinda felt like the program didn’t do very much this time around Read More
2021 in 2020 form
Welcome everyone. I told myself I’d come back to writing, which I clearly seem to tell myself often due to the time lapses in each post.. but this time, I was basically peer pressured into it, and this is going to take a lot in me to do, but I wanted to get something down. Read More
A Week (and a half) in the Life
Every time I log back into this site, and I read the post I wrote just prior to the one I’m about to write, it’s absolutely comical. One of my doctors has me take note of how I’m feeling between appointments, so I write everything down because it all just blends together. After being baffled Read More
