Blooming through experience. Memories through adventure.
In 2021, I fell in love- with bullet journaling! I’ve always loved the idea of bullet journaling, and I even attempted it for a few months in 2018. However, having a physical bullet journal stressed me out: when I messed up, it was almost impossible to fix it, and having creative ideas but the lack [...]
About a year ago, after much soul-searching and reflecting, I came to terms with the fact that I am asexual. Ever since then, pieces of my past that never quite added up made sense. Things that would have previously made me feel alone and excluded now have an explanation. I have a community of people- [...]
One of my biggest fears is living a completely ordinary, boring, unimportant life. Right now I'm in an "in-between" season of my life. I graduated from undergrad in December 2020, and I start graduate school in September 2021. That leaves nine months to work as much as possible and save money for my next adventure. [...]
I love traveling. Not being able to travel anywhere the past year has been less than ideal, but spending time on my own in my neighborhood has given me the chance to fall in love with myself. I've learned to love spending time alone doing things that make me happy. Recently, I took that self-love [...]
I recently watched all seven seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars for the first time. As a life-long Star Wars fan, I was excited to learn more about prequel-era characters and watch my favorite Jedi (Obi-Wan) go on adventures. I was not expecting to find a new favorite character in Ahsoka Tano, apprentice to [...]
Edit: Hello! After much reflection and thought, I've realized that I'm not demisexual, I'm actually asexual. I have never experienced sexual attraction, I just thought I had and told myself I had. I am leaving this blog post up however, and I haven't changed any of the text, because it is important to understand different [...]
I have a long history of hating myself. My struggle with depression and anxiety began my freshman year of high school, eight long years ago in 2012. That eventually developed into anorexia. Even after beginning eating disorder recovery in late 2014, I was still far from loving myself. There were more days where I hated [...]
Going vegan or vegetarian has become a trend in the eating disorder recovery world. When you're someone who is already so focused on what you're eating in an unhealthy way, it's easy to look at a lifestyle that seems healthier and want to be a part of it. Unfortunately, the process or idea of keeping [...]
Things have been hard lately. School is really stressing me out (upper division classes really pile on the workload) and when I'm not doing homework, I'm working. My eating disorder has also been trying to slip in whenever possible (aka, every time I look at or think about either food or my body), and I've [...]
