    A Guide to Complaining When You and Everyone You Know is Emotionally Exhausted

    April 22, 2020 /

    I don’t know about you, but I am emotionally exhausted. The global covid-19 pandemic is emotionally exhausting as much as it is scary. And if you are trying to be responsible and stay informed, the news updates everyday can be overwhelming. I have decided to go about my days expecting that everyone I know feels exactly the way I do (regardless of if they do or not). So what do you want to do when you are emotionally exhausted, lonely, and scared? You might want to scream and never stop screaming. You might want to escape to the nearest forested area, lie down, let the moss claim you, and become…

    Learn How To Say and Practice Saying “No”

    November 6, 2019 /

    In the past I have talked about how to say no to selfish friends ; but that’s no easy feat. In the post I talked about clear ways to tell your friends “no” without saying “no” and when to evaluate and communicate in a relationship where you feel you are being used by a selfish or toxic friend. Sometimes learning how to just say the word “no” is  the real challenge, but you also need to practice using “no.” A lot of us feel that the word “no” makes us disagreeable and may lead to confrontation.  A lot of us have been in relationships and situations where our “no” was disrespected,…

    Becoming a Good Enough-ist

    September 11, 2019 /

    Becoming a good enough-ist has allowed me to grow and learn and be the best I can be, being a perfectionist only made me a stagnated, selfish and unreasonable person. Now, perfectionism isn't "good enough" for me.

    Why I Have a Problem With Sarcasm

    August 26, 2019 /

    Sarcasm can be mean, it can be unhealthy, and can hurt relationships; yet so many people treat sarcasm as a personality trait synonymous with cool, clever, and witty. I have a problem with sarcasm for a variety of reasons; primarily because a lot of people use sarcasm inappropriately and cause a lot of damage in the process. My main reasons for hating sarcasm are these: people use it as a weapon and an excuse for bad social skills, it’s bad communication, it’s an unhealthy coping mechanism, and people treat it like a personality trait. Sarcasm as a Weapon The definition of sarcasm from Merriam-Webster is: a sharp and often satirical…

    My Favorite Things about Fall

    November 17, 2018 /

    Fall used to be my favorite season because it’s cozy, colorful, and very rarely will the weather inconvenience you. Recently, I’ve been enjoying Winter the most. I crave the juxtaposition of cozy life inside while its cold and uncomfortable outside. There’s nothing more inviting than being warm and happy inside while it’s dark, cold, and snowy outside. But I digress. Where I live, we get summer and winter. Spring doesn’t exist and fall is extremely short most years. Since fall is fleeting, I feel like I need to enjoy it as long as I can. Now that we are halfway through November, I thought I might share some of my…

    How to Say “No” to Selfish Friends

    October 21, 2018 /

    Sometimes we have friends that are just selfish in nature. They expect you to drop everything for them when they need or want you to. They might even seek you out more than your other friends because they know you will say yes. And you do say yes. But what if you had said no? What would have happened? Would your friend have accepted your answer or would they have turned against you?
