November 17th, 2022 The cold is here, and it will stay for a while. It’s dark by 4PM and the forecast for tonight is snow, for the first time this season. I’m writing this entry from my bed, listening to my boyfriend compose a song from the other side of the wall; waiting for the snow to fall. I have to sleep soon, it’s almost 10PM and I need to work tomorrow, and I hope to wake up to frosty-white streets and trees.

A few months ago I wrote a piece about the need for men to speak up about their struggles with mental health.

Dreams and Destinations.
Changes happen in life. I just didn’t know one of my dreams would come to an end by my forgetting the second half of my sonatina at a piano recital in front of my peers! I was around fourteen years old, and we were grouped by proficiency level to individually play piano in front of a judge. This contest was one of the two, annual, semi-competitive elements of our piano-playing lives, called a Sonatina contest. The musical piece was something everyone practiced for months, memorizing and attending a designated "judgement day" that lasted a couple hours out of a Saturday. Most of the time, this took place at a local university and the halls would be buzzing with nerves and excitement as a bunch of little piano players found their area and waited expectantly to play. This particular Saturday I was one of a handful of performers who chose to play the movement. It was a quick, fun piece and I enjoyed playing it.

For some, the idea of calling out of work can be an incredibly stressful thing. While employees exist who don’t think twice about taking a day off, there are countless others who work themselves into a frenzy at the prospect of all that comes with calling out of work. The prevalence of burnout in the workplace has risen to a point where it has become a national, perhaps even global, conversation. Employees are working like never before as the long lists of demands and expectations seem to be continually growing. People call out of work for a variety of reasons: vacations, sickness, appointments, emergencies, but the one that seems to have the most stigma is the idea of taking a mental health day. Why?
