How Self Isolation Is Affecting Me
Self-isolation. When I heard that we were going to shut everything down, self-isolate and cut this virus out of our lives; I thought “how hard is this going to be, it’ll be a great time to work on everything and let the world heal”. The reality, it has been a nightmare. In a time where …
Why the Golden Girls?
The first time I watched the Golden Girls, I was about ten years old. My sister, brother and I were on vacation (parents were there too), staying in a random hotel room in the state we just happened to be in. I remember it was late, nothing other than infomercials seemed to be on, so …

Friendship and Hurt
Hurt. In life it seems to come so naturally. One minute everything seems to be working out, then within a second, it is like you are in a fiery pit of sadness and despair. It feels like every part of your being is being pulled apart and you no longer have the glue to hold …
