discovering who I really am in the midst of a chaotic world
It wasn't my intention to write about this. In fact, I have a list of other issues I want to work out. But this one jumps to the top of the list just because I can't stop thinking about anything else. I've tried a few distractions and it's just getting louder. I find myself rubbing …
I've been kicking ass & taking names! I'm finally starting to feel like a real, responsible adult - Ha! Here's what I've accomplished so far: ✔️ Blood work: I got it done today & got all my numbers in. I'm a little high in cholesterol (no shocker there. I love steak lol) & a little …
I'm sitting here thinking about what to talk about when I realized, "Wow. I had a really good day today." I started my day by going to Temple. Today kicks off Pesach/Passover. Service was lovely, as usual, but it was really cool to be there for a holiday & see how they celebrate it. We …
I had a lot of little things happen today so I wanted to take a moment & share what's going on. Really, I just need to get it out so that my mind can process it. 🙂 SLEEP I slept like shit last night. I was exhausted so I fell asleep quickly, which is great. …
Okay, so the point of this blog (primarily) was to focus on my mental health. And that is really, really important. But I feel like that's not as critical anymore & it's time for me to focus on my physical health. And by that, I mean, I haven't felt suicidal in a while (yay!). Obviously, …

Sometimes we linger for a while in a certain stage & sometimes we zoom past others. For me, I was thinking about how often I …
If an 8-year-old can do it, what's your excuse? I have this pet peeve. Actually, it runs in my family: Whenever I give a gift, I would appreciate a "thank you." Take 3 seconds to appreciate the time, effort, & money I spent. That's all. Now, I'm nowhere near as bad or as obsessive as my …
OMG! 300! Insane! I want to thank each & every one of you for following along & listening to my story. Just to know you're out there supporting me means the world to me. Thank you for being you! ❤ As per tradition, here are a few of my most popular posts. As always, everything …
I consider myself a very patient person. I extend some time & grace way more than I should. When others have given up, I'm usually the only one standing around, believing the best. Usually. Because lately, I'm over it. Get your shit together. For fuck's sake. I don't like bird-dogging anyone. I don't like listening …
I fucking hate that phrase. Do you know how many times I've heard it? Roughly sixty bajillion. It's always said to me like it's supposed to make everything better. Like they're the first person to bail on me. Like everything was out of their control & I'm the only one who has to suffer. But …
