I’ve got another work story to tell. It’s one I feel less negative about than everything I wrote about yesterday, however, it’s still something that I’m only figuring out now has been a life-long habit I’ve developed. On Saturdays I am mainly around one other coworker, Adele. She also works at the same site as…… Continue reading How to Slow Down
I had little to no motivation to do much of anything today. Daylight Savings Time just ended, and that means that one hour ahead on the clock makes it seem like the hours of daylight in the afternoon are shorter. I hate how time is out of my control and keeps moving, whether I feel…… Continue reading Pressure Points
I was over my aunt and uncle’s house in Jersey yesterday where my brother’s girlfriend met them for the first time ever.

I don’t want to lose my mind just because I am anxious. Of course, my gut reaction is to want to avoid whatever is causing me to feel this way. I’ve danced to this tune for my whole life. I just hate the other feelings that accompany the anxiety. For right now, I’m currently trying…… Continue reading A Frenzy of Anxiety
This was a work from home opportunity that I took out of desperation and perhaps naivete. It wasn’t right for me at all. The company specialized in hiring people to do online video captioning, so my job was to type subtitles for short or long videos and sync the subtitles accordingly to make them pop…… Continue reading Prompt: Bleakest Thing I’ve Done To Make Money
