This Changes Everything

Authors' Note: POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING If you cannot handle an honest take on life and discussions of depression and mental health, please do not read below this image. Thank you.  It didn’t set in until this month. The majority of my days are Groundhog Day-esque. Lather, rinse, repeat. Dull. Uninteresting. Zero challenge involved.

The Aftermath

*Potential trigger warning* I survived, and I'm always sorry when I do. Always. Last week, a member of my family overdosed on prescription medication. It wasn't painkillers or anything like that.

As Real As It Gets

WARNING: Potential Triggers I'm a ridiculously intuitive person, which has the tendency of scaring people if they aren't used to it. I live my life paying attention to the same things most people ignore. However, it is virtually impossible to ignore your body and mind when they're screaming at you. No matter what bad thing … Continue reading As Real As It Gets
