The Social Media Paradox: How It Shapes and Controls Us. AI-Generated.
Are We Controlling Social Media, or Is It Controlling Us? In the last two decades, social media has become an inseparable part of modern life. We wake up and check our phones before even getting out of bed. We scroll mindlessly through feeds during lunch breaks. We seek validation through likes, comments, and shares.

Alexa? Stop
Does anyone else feel an unreasonable level of rage when they can’t find their headphones? You’re convinced you put them back in your bag and now you’re elbow-deep in your backpack's mucky midnight zone. Ugh, what even IS that? You check your coat pocket. Not there. Desk drawer? Nope. You retrace your steps like a crime scene investigator, finding other things you’ve lost along the way, but a bike lock key isn’t going to help you listen to ya dream pop playlist now is it?

High-functioning depression, often associated with persistent depressive disorder (PDD) or dysthymia, is a mental health condition that can be difficult to recognize.

Chrysalis of the Mind: Breaking, Unfolding, Becoming. AI-Generated.
Breaking, evolving, and discovering the limitless self. There was a time when I believed that the mind was a rigid structure, built upon the foundation of childhood experiences and shaped by the ceaseless pressures of life. I was wrong. The mind is not a fortress; it is a chrysalis. And when the time comes, it must break apart to make way for something new.

the mirror, my body, & me. Content Warning.
I walked into the bathroom, finishing my painstaking deconstruction of the day's messy bun, before tearing off my clothes, desperate to clean off the grime of the day. I'm not sure what made me stop to look in the mirror, but like Narcissus, I couldn't help but fall deep in love with myself.

a kindle inspired breakdown. Runner-Up in The Metamorphosis of the Mind Challenge. Top Story - March 2025. Content Warning.
I'm not much of a crier but I used to be. I tell my counselor and my mental health nurse that quite often, when I am sharing emotional stories with them, I just cannot breakdown and cry. I even asked if it was my medication that I am on that just makes me unable to cry. My psychiatrist told me that sometimes we just build up emotional walls to certain things and when that wall breaks- you need to be prepared for it.
