Hey, Soos! #5
October 13, 2020 Hey, Soos! Creativity is one of the most important things in my life. Without it, I’m not quite sure where I would be. In many ways creativity has kept me somewhat quasi-sane during my darkest moments. When my anxiety reached a fever pitch during my childhood years, I would go in the…

My 2019
We are coming to the end of another year, and that means it’s time for the obligatory year in review. I always look back on the year and see what lessons I may have learned from the experiences that I went through. And 2019 has provided me with many lessons that I can take with…

Comparing myself to other people
I am a unique individual. No one can be me except me. I have my own part to play in the story of the universe, and it cannot be told by anyone else. If my life is so important and it’s important for me to embrace my individual identity, then why do I find myself…

My Quarter Life Crisis
When I was a teenager I always imagined that my life would be so much better when I reached my twenties. I thought I would have my dream job of being a full time writer, make enough money to be well off, and have all my life issues figured out. I always thought my twenties…

You are Important

My Mind (some thoughts)
My relationship with my mind has been quite interesting to say the least, and one that I have been trying to understand for most of my life. I have come to discover that anything about the mind cannot be simply explained (at least in my case), and that in order to learn more I have…

Loving Myself is Hard To Do
When it comes to loving myself I get a F+. It’s sad but true. I don’t love myself. I don’t see my unique value in the world. I don’t see in myself what other people claim to see. Never in my life have I looked at myself in the mirror and said those three little…

I ended up in the hospital (and I’m so thankful that I did).
I was terrified to go, but knew that if I didn’t I would just get worse. I was afraid about what people might think of me if they found out. I was afraid of what this would do to my family. Frankly, I was embarrassed. But I knew I had to go. I had to…

Why I Can’t Say No
I have a problem. Well, I actually have many problems, but you don’t need to know about all of them just yet. There’s one particular problem that I have been struggling with greatly over the past 5 years that is starting to take a toll on my life. It is a self-inflicted problem and one…

A Look Back at 2018 (and my hopes for 2019)
I don’t remember what I was expecting 2018 to be like when last year came to an end. I think I was just hoping for a year of growth and opportunity, a year where I could do big and fulfilling things. I wanted my life to become “easier” with the new year, to not be…
