Running through my head
I’m a deep thinker, often too deep. After watching a bunch of cool things today, the following things are running through my mind: The fact that when they started setting up Colonial Williamsburg, they wanted it to be some silly, unrealistic utopia of what colonial life was like. It’s been designed around what the top…

Daily Prompt 3/24/23
Oh, there are so many things to choose from, but I’m going to go with something that I think is almost universally applicable: Most people don’t understand a damn thing about anything until it actually happens to them. People without anxiety don’t understand how hard it is to live with anxiety and how saying things…

Rolling with the Punches
The only thing constant in life is change. Everything changes eventually. Seasons, people, jobs, weather, sports teams, politics, fashion trends, even what sports count as Olympic sports. So why do we all hate change so much, even though we experience it at some level every day? I wish I knew. All I do know is…

Day 1
Today is Day 1 of me trying a new Adderall generic. So far I love it! It works better than anything else I’ve taken and being on two pills per day is amazing. It’s such a huge difference taking two, rather than one pill per day. I think I sleep better and feel better in…

Women’s Sports
It’s really funny to me how there’s suddenly so many defenders of women’s sports…men that never once cared about women’s sports and likely spoke out against the US National Women’s Team wanting equal pay. “Why should women expect to get paid as much as the men’s team, which brings in more money??” How dare they!…

This isn’t anything new…
So I read this article that came before this one, with the first one talking about the fact that teen girls are struggling with anxiety and depression. The second one talks about theories adults have as to why this is so. I have some news here. 1. Social media isn’t the sole issue causing depression…

Hey, White People
A couple of days ago, I found this awesome article by Molly Hart on social media. It talks about the unwritten, unspoken rules for People of Color (POC) in society that are invisible to white people. It was so eye-opening for me to really understand and think through how hard it must be to constantly…

Daily Prompt 2/21/23
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? I would ban the word wokeism from our vocabulary. Not woke, like how it was used prior to the right-wing politicans co-opting it to mean things they don’t like. But this weird, nebulous, almost undefinable term that politicians keep…
