Size Matters. Content Warning.
Size does matter, doesn't it? In a world captivated by the endless pursuit of beauty, health, and perfection, one cannot ignore the elephant in the room — or rather, the obese individual who's often cast aside by society's unforgiving gaze.

Episode 1: On Waiting for the Right Person
As I sit here, pen in hand (or should I say — computer on lap), I can’t help but reflect on the years that have passed, the imagined first dates, the ghostly heartbreaks, and the gnawing feeling that maybe, just maybe, I’ve been waiting for the right person all along — myself. We live in a world where everything is instant — fast food, fast fashion, and even fast love. It’s no surprise that the pressure to find “the one” can be overwhelming. All around me, friends are getting engaged, getting married, some even having babies, and here I am, still searching for that genuine connection.

The benefits of positive thinking
All anyone really wants is to be happy. Now that’s easily one of the hardest things to achieve. Everyone is chasing it, trying everything they possibly can to be happy. One way to get some happiness is by being resilient with everyday troubles or even past traumas. Resilience is needed for happiness, because it helps with mental health, will help with pressures from school, and changes the outlook of life positively.

A Cup of Tea with Death
I can never just stop... thinking. Unwanted distractions miss ideas, unexpected interruptions, then lose those ideas. My sense of time vanishes, nevermind that I'm always looking at the clock. I watch the seconds tick away as my mind struggles to keep hold of reality. The list of things to be done, the endless phone calls that must be made, the dinner we will have for that very evening. As such, I am unwillingly thrown into a state of paralysis, unable to bypass the feeling of wanting to do everything; yet reduced to doing nothing.

The Debt Dragon and Me (and You)
This was the first post on my Substack when I initially dedicated it to my battle with survival debt. I was going to talk about my journey to eliminate the debts I've built up over the past 13 years there, and how my 2023 ADHD diagnosis factors into everything I've dealt with. Since I deleted my Substack I have since decided to stick to Vocal.Media and my Buy Me A Coffee page.
