Hello World

So I'm not sure how this thing works and I'm up at 11 PM figuring it out. Hi.
Let's start with basics- I'm a girl, XX years old, I live in the lovely state of Wisconsin.
I like love and music and art and food.
And owls. Cats, too.
Grammar is a code I strictly abide by.
So... yep.

Loving Yourself When You Love Someone with Mental Illness

There are many articles online about how to love someone with a mental illness. I do not want to say that those are unimportant; they are very, very important. But something I have not seen in any article is the message that they need to care for themselves as well. It's hard to love someone in the middle of the storm. It's hard to give so much of yourself up for someone who may not appreciate you at the time. It's hard to know when to stop giving, and it's even harder to "Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life." (Prov 4:23) So, today I am here to talk to the children, the best friends, the partners of those with mental illness. From someone who both experiences depression and anxiety and has family/friends with various mental illness, I'm here to say: take care of yourself, too. You are not supposed to fix them. You can't. As I posted recently, "you don't 'cure' mental illness; you treat it through an ev

I'm Sick.

I'm sick of living in a world where 1 in 4 girls are sexually abused before they're even 16. I'm sick of being told that I am no more than my body, an object of entertainment on tv and billboards to be bought and sold as men like it. I'm sick of a world where men fear that women might threaten their masculinity, but women fear that men might threaten their life. I'm sick of hearing people joke and throw the words rape and abuse around like baseballs when they're as heavy as concrete and hurt even more when wielded. No, I've never been raped, but i shouldn't have to to know it's wrong. I'm sick of being powerless to fight the overbearing weight of rape culture, where girls are taught how to restrict themselves to defend themselves, but men are rarely taught not to attack. I'm sick of the numbers that we drown in but ignore, the statistics of human beings ground into packaged pleasure, the ultimate expression of love twisted into the

We Are Narcissists with Self-Esteem Issues

Really, we are. Just think about it. People are going out of their way to make sure everyone knows just how awkward, depressed, antisocial, and messed-up they are. Hey guess what- everyone is. Everyone feels awkward. Everyone can feel depressed (although I recognize Depression as a real mental disorder, considering I have medication for it). Everyone can be antisocial. Everyone is messed-up. Teenagers these days are all over the media, crying out in anguish as someone posts a comment that makes them feel unloved and unwanted and unspecial. I have one thing to say- grow up. Now now, before you start closing the tab or stalking me down to tell me how rude I am, just listen. I am definitely not condoning bullying. I am strongly against it. But, you don't have to play the victim. If they can make you so miserable, find someone whom you love and let them make you happy. If you really want to feel happy, then do it. As one of the people I look up to said, "you're the o
