Resilient

The one word I hope that others would say about me, especially those who knew me on some level, is resilient. I have experienced a turmoil and confusing childhood/upbringing (I know many others have as well) that has led to a rabbit whole of trauma that I am just now learning about in my early […]

My first week at college

My first week of college was a mixture of excitement and curiosity that quickly turned into fear, self-doubt, and a strong feeling of being overwhelmed. I initially had no intentions on attending college. My immediate family had no one that had been to a university let alone graduated. School enthusiasm was minimal from my main […]

Snow Leopards

The only time that I have seen a wild animal is at the Zoo. I grew up going to the Brookfield Zoo in Brookfield, Illinois. It’s right near the city of Chicago. My top three favorite animals, besides dogs, are horses, dolphins, and snow leopards. I have never been fully understanding to my attraction of […]

Las Vegas

I am not sure that I have a favorite place to go, but one of my favorite places to go that instantly comes to mind is Las Vegas, Nevada. There is something about the energy you feel when walking the strip of Las Vegas. I know Las Vegas is a lot of walking and as […]

What technology would you be better off without, why?

A technological device that I feel I would be better off without would be a cellphone. It is like having a minicomputer in my hand.

However, it also comes with a false sense of security, creation […]

The calming effect of a mountain…

I prefer mountains. I find that mountains to me are not only aesthetically beautiful but also calming. I spent some time living in southern California and I used to love the view of driving near the mountains. The view was breath taking especially taking the express way down the hill to go to the Los […]

Podcast fun

I have recently joined the podcast community. I enjoy listening to podcasts during my workday. I find it is a great way to not only pass the time, but to have a level of engagement of learning, interests, and leisure to be utilized. My podcasts that I currently listen to are a wide variety and […]

Cowboy Casserole…

I am not the greatest cook, but I do love cooking. I like to be creative in the kitchen and try new recipes I find either on Tik Tok or Instagram. I would say my food specialty is either Green Bean Casserole or Cowboy Casserole. I found the cowboy casserole dish back in 2020 when […]

What have I been working on?

I am finding myself in my early thirties tired of struggling with mental health issues. The feeling of isolation that is deep rooted with loneliness, depression and a strong feeling of feeling lost. There have been several experiences, including traumas, that have led me towards this strong feeling of exhaustion and depression. A spiral that […]

Successful to what perception…

I find successful to be a term that is complex and one that is personally perception based. I feel the word successful is sort of like the term sobriety. I believe that every person has their own perceptions on certain words like sobriety and or successful based on their experiences. However, the first person who […]
