My Tiny Sidekick
This challenge will most likely receive many entries about dogs and cats; however, my story is a little different. This challenge may also receive many entries of stories of pets who are still alive. While I do own a dog now, my beloved Kaya, whom I adore very much, there was a special animal in my life before her. From the ages of thirteen to sixteen, I rapidly grew close to my pet hamster, Phoebe. Phoebe was no ordinary rodent…she was undoubtedly special. She was the most affectionate little creature, and a living being who I grew tremendously fond of and comfortable with. Phoebe was first brought in by our family in July of 2016, and she lived with us until her untimely demise in September of 2019.

Cut it Out! Potential Origins of Self-Harm
Self-injury, self-harm, self-mutilation, whatever you want to call it, is a serious and addictive coping mechanism that people typically use to feel pain after a period of numbness, because they feel like they deserve to feel that pain, or simply as a means of coping with their struggles. I personally have a plethora of experience with self-harm. The intensity of the triggers can certainly ebb and flow. Sometimes I have moments of severe inclination to cause myself pain in some way. Sometimes I feel content and as if there’s no valid reason to harm myself. Sometimes I’m on the very edge of the cliff, and all I need is the most miniscule phrase or occurrence to push me into a mental hell encompassed with uncertainty.
