Uhhhhmmmm...hi

Well, this is it...my first blog post.  

Fair warning to anyone who's reading, this blog is probably going to be all over the place as far as topics go.  

Some posts might just be me sharing my "adulting" that I did that day. Some might include the recipes for my "broke girl" meals that always end up being fucking delicious. Some might talk about mental health issues, LGBTQIA issues, or political issues. Luckily for you, I'm not into makeup techniques, so I'll spare you video tutorials on that kinda shit. Feel free to leave a comment on something you'd like me to get all "adulty" about.

Regardless, I hope that you, dear reader, enjoy them.

Mental Health Matters

This week is mental illness awareness week, and in honor of that, I'm writing this post to shine a light on my own mental illnesses and mental health. I've always been pretty open with my struggles with mental illnesses because I think that it's necessary in order to end the stigma surrounding these issues. Have you ever played a game, and when you started losing you just decided to see * how bad * you could fuck it up? I came to learn that that’s basically how my brain operates when my mental health is taking a nosedive. The easiest way to start is by saying, I was on a 7 month hiatus from therapy appointments from September last year until April this year. I didn’t want to rack up more bills, but in the end, it bit me in the ass. A lot happened in those 7 months that culminated into me not coping well and reverting back to bad habits.  My mental health took a nosedive towards the end of last year. I was starting to fall into a pretty deep depression which in turn re...

DON'T GIVE YOUR NUMBER TO STRANGERS

Hey all!  Sorry it's been a while...I've written drafts, then deleted drafts, then done it all over again.  I get a little freaked out about what I write after my step-mom asked me to elaborate on my  "You Bet Your Ass I'm Triggered"  post. So I've been picky on my subjects.  Anyhoo...onto today's post. DON'T GIVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER TO STRANGERS!!! Specifically, if you're a woman, don't give your phone number to strange men.  I made this mistake a couple of weeks ago.  There's this guy that I've seen around for years. I've always wondered about what kind of guy he is, and admittedly, I thought he was pretty cute. So, a couple of weeks ago, I saw him out and about and worked up the nerve to finally talk to him. We exchanged pleasantries, and before we parted ways, I gave him my number in hopes that maybe he'd ask me on a date or something. I didn't hear from him for a few days and just shrugged it off...but hey, at leas...

You bet your ass I'm triggered

Sexual assault and domestic violence aren't easy subjects to talk about, even more so when the experiences are your own. In my mind, Dr. Ford is a god damned hero. Although we've been hearing so many stories of sexual assault, it was her testimony that resounded with me. I'd managed to push my own experiences with sexual assault and domestic violence so deep into the darkest corners of my mind, but not anymore. Her story brushed off the cobwebs and shone an uncomfortably bright spotlight on not just one, but all of the sexual assaults I've encountered. What really fucking triggers me is seeing my friends and FAMILY posting things in support of her abuser, criticizing and questioning the credibility of her testimony, and quite possibly the thing that triggers me the most...the fucking "NOT ALL MEN" posts. Like, we get it, Linda...you've been fortunate enough to have decent men in your life, but don't please, for the love of fuck, DO NOT belittle women...
