Why Are Habits So Hard to Break?
It seems so easy—just stop eating unhealthy foods and exercise regularly and you'll achieve the perfect body; just stop smoking and your lungs will restore themselves to their healthier form—it sounds so simple, but why is it so hard? Why don't we all have the "perfect body" or lungs that can inhale and exhale at normal capacity? To put it simply, humans are stubborn, unwavering creatures of habit.

The Invisible Curse
When most people hear the phrase, "Beauty is pain," they think of plastic surgery or bikini waxes. But what I think of is the hunger pains and the fainting spells. Or the mind numbing, excruciating feeling of my organs slowly eating themselves to death.

Sharon & Me
Churchill called his depression ‘the black dog.’ Susan Calman, a Scottish comedian who wrote a hilarious memoir about her depression, called hers ‘the crab of hate.’ Seeing as I’m not particularly a fan of dogs or crabs, I won’t liken my depression to a particular animal. Animals, to me, seem like an unobvious choice for personifying depression.
