Rest and Recovery

A little health update, I haven't updated my blog since that brief post I made regarding a dream that centered around a character from a Netflix series I used to watch. One of the things I have learned is that when I go to see multiple people in my care, they all have different opinions.…

Meditative Activities Should Not Cost Anything

As a strong believer in the prioritization of self-care, this is totally relevant. I have been searching for a new meditation app ever since MyLife a.k.a. Stop, Breathe, and Think discontinued its service. I relied on it a lot throughout my college years. Technically, I don't need an app to be able to meditate but…

Social Media Platforms I Used And Left

Social media has become a dominant part of our lives. There are some platforms that we use for either our entire life, or we find a site/app that is even better, or we realize we don't need it at all and ditch it completely. The very first time I started social networking was when I…

Stress, Anxiety, and my Body

I often deal with acute anxiety and sometimes even chronic on rare occasions. It is quite stressful and then it reaches a point where my body begins to react physically as well. Then I feel like it's the end of the world. When the college faculty strike ended, I had jaw pain and a headache…

Keep the PDA Away

I have wanted to write about this for a long time and hesitated forever. But then when I wrote an article about how single-shaming needs to stop, and it was very well-received then I realized that hey what is stopping me from writing this? One of my biggest pet peeves in the world is PDA…

I Skipped My Prom, No Regrets

There are lots of rites of passage in life but I do not need to experience all of them. I graduated high school, then college, I got my driver's license, and recently purchased my first car. (more on that in another post) Next, I would like to get a place of my very own someday.…

The Problem With Shaun Murphy (From Another Autistic Person’s Perspective)

I've talked before about my love-hate relationships with medical drama TV shows, but the one that is the easiest to pick apart is The Good Doctor due to it's protagonist being on the autism spectrum, like me. Autism is often difficult to represent in the media because it comes in many different forms. Many who…

Why I Don’t Celebrate New Year’s Eve Anymore

I honestly cannot remember when I celebrated NYE the most exciting way possible. It feels like, over the years, my energy and tolerance of people have significantly decreased on this particular holiday. I was probably in my preteen years the last time I went to an actual party. That was when my parents were good…

Keep Me On The Road

Sometimes, I need to vent and I was surprised to see how many people read that article about how I was venting about some failures I recently experienced. I also remember doing the same thing when I was anxious to find out the results of the certification exams I had to take to practice in…

Anxiety from Fear of Failure

Nobody likes to fail, that's a fact. Many people have achieved success through many failures first. But when you're in the heat of the moment trying to achieve success it can feel like the road to it is like a fork up ahead and if you fail, you fail, and it's final. I have experienced…
