It happened again.

I’m never hungry. My sleep schedule is erratic. I have no prospects in life right now. Can’t find a job. Can’t keep up with the house. Barely want to get out of bed most days. My drinking and smoking are out of control. My boyfriend is at the end of his rope of dealing with me…

At the same time. I’m making myself get shit done. I’ve been trying to find some online work since I can’t find anything here in town. I sent some emails to a school I’m interested in applying to. I’ve been getting a lot of cleaning done the past couple days and I’m getting caught up on laundry…

I have so much shit to figure out and it just makes me dissociate with panic. But I’m trying. One step at a time. I’m still here at least, right?

I’m going to start posting again for accountability. For the journaling aspect. Restart my health apps. Continue this journey on figuring out my life.

... Read moreLife can be overwhelming, especially when you're caught in a cycle of stress, uncertainty, and isolation. Many experience similar feelings of despair, with challenges such as mental health issues, job loss, and maintaining personal responsibilities weighing heavily on them. The importance of taking small steps toward recovery cannot be overstated. By setting achievable goals, establishing a daily routine, and prioritizing self-care, individuals can reclaim control over their lives. Seeking help from friends, family, or professionals can be one of the first steps towards recovery. Connecting with support groups or platforms that focus on mental health and transparency can provide both encouragement and accountability. Journaling, which is mentioned in this article, serves as a powerful tool for self-reflection and growth, enabling individuals to track progress and articulate feelings. As you embark on this journey of recovery, remember that it's okay to feel lost sometimes. The key is to acknowledge those feelings, take things one step at a time, and trust in the process. Embrace vulnerability and authenticity as part of your healing journey. Resist the urge to judge your progress against others. Everyone has their unique path to follow, and what truly matters is striving to be better than you were yesterday.

The side of college no one talks about
I wish I could say this was something new, but it’s not. In kindergarten, I was talkative, friendly, and just wanted to learn and, of course, make friends. But I got bullied. It got worse in elementary school, especially around 4th grade. I had classmates and even teachers who mistreated

A comparison of a handwriting tattoo on skin, showing its appearance when fresh (top) and six years later (bottom). The top image shows clear, crisp lettering, while the bottom image displays significant ink spread and blurring of the text 'No matter how far away My Love Always Dad'.
Tattoo then vs now. What went wrong?
In 2018 I got this tattoo after my dad passed, his handwriting. When I got the tattoo, it looked exactly like his handwriting. Within the next few days it almost looked like the ink had spread some. The bottom picture is today 6 years later. I think I need to have it covered and to get the tattoo a
