Ever since I could remember, I had a plan for my life. Was it always the same plan- no way. I mean it went anywhere from a toy store cashier to an FBI agent. I really must’ve just thought I was good at everything. It wasn’t that I couldn’t decide, it was where was IContinue reading “Trust the Process”

I know, I know, you haven’t heard from me here in a while. I can explain. Life has been beyond crazy. Every day I am trying to balance my health and keep my life the best I can. That involves quite a bit of maintenance: scheduling, writing, working out, breaking, writing gratefully, on and on….Continue reading “I’ve Downplayed Life”

On January 7th 2021, I packed up a suitcase and headed straight to Baltimore Maryland. When I arrived, I did intake at the chronic pain hospital at The Kennedy Krieger Institute.

As humans, we take pride in people admiring our strength and capabilities. I’m sure if I were to ask you right now if that could ever turn into a negative- you’d probably say no. Well, I can say I completely disagree with you. I think that the minute your well-known strength becomes a negative, itContinue reading ““She’s So Strong””

We all have experienced the struggles of math. Unless you are a mathematician, you probably are not the biggest fan of the subject. I am sure you can recall a time in your life where you got a headache from spending too much time trying to understand math homework. It’s the absolute worst- right? Well,Continue reading “The Impossible Calculation”

“Please help me. Why won’t you look at me? HELP ME”. These are the words I scream to family members in my nightmare. Spoiler alert. They don’t help me and they stand there and laugh. I used to have this dream all the time a few months ago. After I came back from Baltimore, theContinue reading “I Didn’t Get Invited To Life”
