So I finally did it. I got my first tattoo! After having talked about getting a tattoo for a while now, I finally mustered up the courage (and Chérie also pushed me toward it) to do it. I found a minority owned tattoo shop in a hipster city here in the Pacific Northwest, and found […]
I was going to write a post to outline my thoughts from therapy today (the new semester just started on Monday, and thankfully, I was able to keep my Wednesday therapy session, and would still see S regularly until such a time that we both feel that I’m ready to rough life out by myself. […]
It has been an eventful and moderately overwhelming day – both for good and bad reasons. I woke up this morning and discovered that I was low on both Zoloft and Strattera. I was very tempted to let them run out and just quit my psych meds cold turkey. I don’t think that would’ve been […]
There was an event at the Multicultural Center today.

Bear with me here, all of my readers who aren’t nerdy, as this post will relate to my mental health struggles in one way or another despite the nerdy content. I recently bought a car – a used 2015 KIA Soul that happened to be black in color – on Star Wars Day, i.e. May […]
As many of you who have been reading my blog for the past 4 months or so know… I’ve been struggling terribly this semester.
