As I've been getting older, I've started having more and more mild panic attacks about just how much time I have left before Death's fatal kiss takes me. Okay, maybe not actual panic attacks, but my thoughts spiral into an endless loop of approximating 60-ish years until I die, wondering if I can accomplish all …
Getting Published is Hard
And like most things that we really want to accomplish in life, it isn't easy, emotionally AND mentally (and maybe just a little physically tiring, but only due to the emotional and mental exhaustion.)
Valentine’s Day: A Painfully Neutral Experience
Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, to a point where I wonder how time is actually able to move so fast. There are so many differing opinions about Valentine's day, that it almost seems like the holiday itself is a polarizing topic. Some people go all out on this day, whether it's full-blown being bitter about …

The Futility of “Being the Adult” (Thoughts on A Series of Unfortunate Events)
I recently had a self-imposed four-day weekend, due to having unused vacation days at work that would disappear if I didn't use them. I was supposed to use that weekend to get caught up on projects I wanted to work on, and while I did do that, I also...participated in less productive activities. Hey, if …

Being an online content creator immediately opens you up to this world of people who are so talented and inspiring, to the point where you just think "how are you not super famous?"

Stagnant
Do you ever feel like your life just kind of...stops? Like nothing is moving forward, and no matter how hard you try to move the stagnant water you're standing in, it just won't budge? I've had this feeling since the tail end of 2016, and I was hoping that feeling would have subsided on the way …
When Legends Die (What I Learned After Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds’ Deaths)
When legends die, hearts break all across the world. Not necessarily to the extent that their friends and families feel, who have to face the brunt of it, but in the sense that we've watched someone who left a stamp on this world, someone we thought would be timeless, be taken by death before we're …

The Cutest Bros (Thoughts about Final Fantasy XV)
Most people who have known me for a long time know that the Final Fantasy series is quite possibly the most magical thing, besides coffee, to bless my existence. I've been playing the games ever since I was about six years old, and I've always been astounded by the beautiful worlds they take place in, …

The Complexity in Giving Up (NaNoWriMo Final Thoughts)
I've come to a point in writing a novel that no writer really wants to come to, especially when they're participating in National Novel Writing Month: I think I'm giving up on it. Maybe just for the time being, but also possibly because I'm not vibing with the plot, anymore. Initially, I was incredibly disappointed when …
