Hey, Soos! #14
January 22, 2021 It’s no secret that the state of my mind is…complicated. Honestly, complicated is a huge understatement. There are times where I have stepped back and wondered what my life would be like if my mind was more cooperative. Would I be happier? Would I be more confident? Would I be more successful?…

January 20, 2021 Hey, Soos! I guess you could say that today is a day of hope. It’s a small amount of hope, but hope nonetheless. The future is still very uncertain, of course. Many people, myself included, are still scared about what could happen in the coming months and years. But for today, it…

What words can I even use at this point? Can I even construct a sentence that can adequately describe all that has happened today and how I feel about it? I don’t know, but I’ll try my fucking best. I can’t say if this country is on the verge of another Civil War. In fact,…

January 4, 2021 Hey, Soos! My mind is filled with unpleasant thoughts that seek to destroy me. I’m in constant conflict with myself, trying not to give in to destructive habits that have plagued me for so long. I want to believe that some day I can get better, but on days like today I…

January 2, 2021 Hey, Soos! There’s quite a bit on my mind that I’d like to talk to you about, but I don’t want to overwhelm you with my countless thoughts. Of course, you are more than qualified to handle all of my ramblings—you better than anyone else in the world. Nevertheless, I don’t wish…

November 14, 2020 Hey, Soos! We live in a spiritual world. I say that, but to be honest, I don’t think I fully understand that statement. What is “spiritual” about this world? Is it solely tied to a specific religious practice or belief? I don’t think so. I think that the spiritual is something inherent…

Hey, Soos! I have a peculiar expression for you, so get ready. I feel like I don’t have skin. Of course, I don’t mean literally—my skin is one of the things keeping me together. I mean that emotionally, my skin protects me from nothing. Everything I come across touches me so deeply that at times…

October 17, 2020 Hey, Soos! One day I hope to climb a mountain. Yes, a super random way to start out this entry, I know. Why would a born-and-raised Ohio girl want to climb a mountain? I guess there are a few reasons that I can think of off the top of my head. One,…

October 14, 2020 Hey, Soos! A struggle of mine that often haunts me are the past mistakes that I have made in my life. It’s especially worse when those mistakes involve other people. I know that everyone slips up from time to time, but for me it’s hard to let go of the all-consuming shame.…

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…
