The Session
01/10/23 yesterday I had therapy for the first time since the end of November (I was supposed to go mid-December but it got cancelled) and it was very much needed. I would say I cried steadily for the entire hour, explaining to my therapist how lonely I feel. I don’t mind discussing my mental health…

The Rollercoaster
01/09/23 it’s been a long time since I’ve written in this blog – but don’t fret, I’m not planning on writing 21 blog posts in an attempt to catch up. I don’t think I’m going to hold myself to writing in this everyday either, I think I need to show myself more grace than that.…

The Graduations
12/15/22 one of the most first-world problems I’ve ever encountered actually happened to me and my brother earlier this year – I graduated from law school on the same day that he graduated from college. in two different cities. at the same time. hundreds of miles apart. I graduated from college in 2019, before COVID…

The Doctor’s Appointment
12/14/22 well folks, today was my hematologist appointment for my blood disorder. the doctor is housed in a cancer center so 1) it was the saddest waiting room I’ve ever been, everyone looked old and frail and sick, and 2) it took forever – my appointment was scheduled for 9:30am but I didn’t even get…
