Fear.
I feel like there is a difference between self-preservation and fear. Fear is contemplative. It is something that you have time and space to deliberate and is a gradual slide toward dysregulation. There are very real protective mechanisms but what I'm talking about is not that... it's not an instant Fight/Flight/Freeze/Fawn system response. It's a … Continue reading Fear.
Changes.
September is here. School is back on. Autumn is 3 weeks away. This has always been a time of change for me.

Why do we care so much if someone "likes" our online posts? I've been considering this idea for some time and I find it fascinating. I try not to care, I say I don't care, but at the end of the day I am just like everyone else. Looking for some sort of validation. Some … Continue reading Not Here for the “Likes”.
