Today’s thought
Pretty much everyone ready this will frequently hear (and maybe use) the phrase, “practice makes perfect”. (If you haven’t heard if before, then that’s interesting.) Especially in the context of practising something or self-improvement. There could be a slight problem with that phrase, in that it may subtly shift one’s thinking to aim for perfection.…

Thinking About Life Goals
In my last post, I talked about my desire to get to doing things. One of the reasons for that is to get past the “planning and preparation” stages that I so often eagerly jump into but just as often don’t progress beyond. Now, the reason for that is partly because I’m just that way…

Today…was a day.
This post was written after an intense Tuesday I had a few weeks ago. I didn’t finish writing it, but I decided to post it anyway. Oh, my goodness. What a wild day I had today. Care to hear the tale? 😬 Allow me to set the stage. There’s been a lot of dramatic changes…

Thoughts on my current health situation.
As you may or may not know, I have Crohn’s disease. This causes a lot of problems for my day-to-day activities and lifestyle, especially when the symptoms worsen like during a flare-up. Now I can’t control what my body does as far as my Crohn’s goes and I can’t always control how it affects my…

Thoughts on imposter syndrome and my health.
In preparation for writing this post, I decided to take some random imposter syndrome tests I found online. It was a very spontaneous decision so I don’t know what to make of it yet. Note to self: You’re probably experiencing imposter syndrome about your imposter syndrome. Please try to remember that you don’t need to…

Why I find Messenger to be a pain.
This post brought to you in part by Starbucks. Free WiFi and not-free snacks available now at Starbuckses everywhere! For the past few weeks I’ve been mostly avoiding Facebook Messenger on my phone. I realize that I already do that fairly often without meaning to, but this time is slightly different. It started out as…

Where to start?
I sometimes have high expectations for myself. 🤨 Okay… very high expectations. 😑 Yes, yes. I often have unrealistically high expectations for myself. This blog is one of those things. Even though I don’t end up putting too much effort into what I write on here (most things end up being silly and totally great!),…

Beauty and the Beast
Okay, so until today I hadn’t watched the new Beauty and the Beast. I know, I know… What’s wrong with me? I hear you. It’s just one of those things that I was putting off until later. Steven suggested that we watch it together when he found that out. So tonight I finally watched it!…

I had an idea for a blog post.
But then I forgot what it was when I got home. I remember that it was a fairly heavy subject, though. Oh, wait! I remember! The idea had something to do with the whole social…. thing against suicide, right? But the people who are struggling with that don’t get taken seriously until they reach that…

“Coco” review.
I cried. 101/10. Would watch (and cry) again. M3

You can brag.
You can totally brag about yourself! Why? Because you’re an amazing person. You have value! You have amazing talents and skills, so why can’t you brag about yourself? Because we’re conditioned not to. We can accept praise from other people, but we’re trained not to accept praise from ourselves. If I held up a pencil,…

I have a plan!
Actually, no I don’t! And that’s okie dokie. Or is it? I’ve often wondered if I should have a plan for my life. Looking at other kids as I fumbled through my teen years, I wondered how they could have such direction for where they were headed. When asked, “what are you gonna do when…

Four ways to help a struggling friend.
It’s frustrating dealing with mental health issues including depression and whatnot. Not many people understand it and fewer people know what to do about it. People want to help, but their either too far away or don’t know what to do. There’s a lot that can be done for those struggling with mental health. I…

Am I being lazy?
Am I just being lazy? Short answer: yes and no. Well thanks, Matthew! That really clears it up. I don’t even know what you’re talking about and you’ve given me both possible answers as the tldr; answer. Yay! Sometimes I feel like I’m just being lazy and using my Crohn’s, depression, or anxiety as a…

I’m a pendulum.
I’m a pendulum. And not in the fun way. Note to self: Find out what the fun way is. I keep going back and forth between okay and not okay, it’s getting really irritating. I can’t deal with things, but I have to. I’m really trying, but I… I just can’t. Being sick all the…

The purpose of a giant fibreglass hand.
Community. One of my all-time favourite television shows! In the sixth season there’s an episode that stands out to me. That whole season is fantastic, but in the sixth episode the Save Greendale Committee is transporting a giant fibreglass hand to sell after the dean bought it on an impulse. Their vehicle breaks down along…

What’s on my mind?
What’s on my mind? Glad that you asked! Well, I’m not really glad that you asked…I’m more, “eh. I can’t really think of anything else to talk about, so might as well share what’s going through my mind right now.” Although, come to think of it, you didn’t really ask me anything. I posed the…

Who am I?
I have a question. Who am I? Who are we? There’s many ways that this could be taken, there’s the physical aspect to myself with my body being composed of cells and whatnot. We could also go into the whole “you are the sum of your experiences” thought train. What I’m interested in, though, is…

People aren’t just one thing…we’re complex.
Question. How much of planet Earth can anyone see at once? Practically speaking… very little. But even if you were standing on our moon (why are you doing that?) you would only be able to see 49% of Earth’s surface. Does this mean that only less than half of the Earth exists? If you were…
