Because She Can’t…I Will
I don’t have a friggen wellness board to tell me how I am feeling or break down my emotions for me. I figure it out on my own, and maybe that’s the more difficult route, but it’s the route that makes sense to my brain. Today is Bell Let’s Talk Day, and people all over…

If You Can Read This…Why Are You Reading it for Free?

The 2022 #LoveLetterChallenge
The first time I saw this tweet by Ahmed Ali I laughed for about ten minutes. It’s hilarious because it’s so fucking true. I do not want to make lemonade anymore.

Do You Know What “SURVIVOR” Really Means? It’s Not A Friggen Game Show – It’s A Warning Label

I Can Do This: The Journal of Mental Health Content Creation
I didn’t know at five years old that I was going to be a Content Creator, because I didn’t know what the hell that meant. All I knew, was that I wanted an interesting life. I’m going to add a trigger warning here: I am watching “The Good Place”, and we’re streaming the very last…
