Do you know how anxiety feels like? Or, is it just an excuse that people use to avoid getting a job, going out with friends, arriving late, or not answering the phone? Whatever your opinion is on depression and anxiety, it's important to talk about it. Even if you haven't experienced extreme anxiety, at least… Continue reading Realize How Anxiety Works
The last few days have been rough. So many thoughts have been swirling in my mind that I feel like I can't control them. Sometimes, I feel like I'm on top of the world. Sometimes I'm able to handle everything at one time and feel like a superhero. Other times, I'm crippled in my anxiety… Continue reading Anxiety is Crippling
There are many things in the world we want to be and hope to be. Many things we wish that can happen and to live for. We all want a purpose, a mantra, and a love for what we do in our lives. However, there are times we fall short of our expectations and make… Continue reading Self-Reflection and Change
I know that I'm being dramatic that I'll probably be alone for the rest of my life at the age of 21. Everyone says that I'm too young to cut myself short or the "one" will come when I least expect it. If I was happily married and older, I would probably say the same… Continue reading Forever Alone at 21

My mind was foggy and I lost my will power to do many things. My mother… Continue reading Braver Than Yourself
I give up on romance and the light of a lover's eyes trailing his fingers from my hips to an upward spiral to my hard-pressed lips. I will never find a lover to complement my solitude, my echoing laugh bouncing up and down the coffee-stained walls of my one-bedroom or the half-empty bed creased with… Continue reading Giving Up
Illuminate her auburn eyes burning through dark night with a heat lamp and lighter to float on top skyscrapers and miniature bodies following the flying stars.

When I tell people that I'm a Christian, they think I'm religious. I'm so religious that I go to church every Sunday, only listen to cheesy "I love Jesus" songs, and hate those who don't follow what I believe in. I'm a person that is untouchable to the secular world. Someone they can't be themselves… Continue reading Be Spiritual, NOT Religious
