How Random Posts Enlighten My Mental Health Journey
I have always enjoyed writing and explaining concepts using creative ways and word choice that allow me to really connect to the heart of the reader or listener.

That might sound like a colossal waste of time, but scientists believe there’s a reason behind it. After all, humans wouldn’t have evolved to do it so much if it wasn’t beneficial. So, what’s really happening when our minds wander? Let’s dive into the world of daydreaming, starting with the ultimate mind-wanderers: bored teenagers.

Because life didn’t end when I was 14 or 15
There are times when we feel like it’s the end of the world. When darkness loom over us and it seems like the sun won’t rise again. The time when we’re trapped at a seemingly unending, poorly lit tunnel, unable to find the end and unable to see the light.
