Recently, I have been writing more and more fiction. While this has been something that I am okay with, there are more intellectual things that are in my mind. In one of my film classes, we talked about “Silence of the Lambs”. That was the first time I had heard of Hannable Lector. After finding out that there were many spin-off films and tv shows, I stumbled upon one of them. (I don’t know the title, I have never watched any of them.) The premise was that of a very empathetic person being asked to work with a cannibal to track down criminals. The empathetic person starts to care more…

Learning from an Emotionless Generation
Emotions can be hard to express no matter who you are. Before I wrote this, I believed that a couple of generations before me were taught not to express emotions and to keep it all to yourself. To be emotionless. Of course, being a person who is going to therapy and regularly expresses their emotions every week, I thought this is the most stupid thing I had heard. In order to cope with life, you need to be able to express your emotions and how you’re feeling. Then I started researching my claim. I thought it would be easy to find articles expressing my opinion. The first article is called…

The Power of Love
At this point in time, I have written this post about five times. At first, I wanted to write about focusing on the positive instead of the negative but then realized that not everyone can focus on the positive right away and it might be the wrong thing to say. Then I wanted to talk about enveloping those with depression with love but ended up writing about how lonely it feels to have depression. In the end, I realized that I want this post to radiate positivity and give hope to those who are either dealing with depression or those who are trying to help those with depression. In the…

How Can We Help Others With Depression?
I asked my followers on Instagram what they would like to know about depression before I started my interview for the month and I received a response that really stood out to me- “How can someone without depression understand what it feels like?” Because I have been living with depression my whole life, it never occurred to me that other people didn’t know what it was like. I felt like it was the easiest concept in the world when it is probably the hardest. So, when I started my interview with Kerri. I kept in mind that I should ask her about what others could do to understand depression more…

Why I Don’t Call Myself Depressed Anymore

I am not getting paid to put these links in, they are just for your benefit. Depression is hard. I am pretty sure I said that last week but it is true. Depression is something that affects many people differently and can be difficult to deal with. For one person with severe depression, it could be hard to eat, get out of bed, and even live life normally. For someone who has mild depression it could be easier. But even easier is still hard.…

My Relationship With Depression
Depression is hard to live with. When someone has this illness they can feel tired, isolate themselves, and loose enjoyment in the things they once did. For me, I have been living with it since I was nine. I don’t know if I still have it or if it is just winter blues, but when I do feel this way it can mess me up in school, in my social life, in me trying to better myself. The one thing that is huge with depression is the mental battle that comes with it. When you have depression your brain can tell you a bunch of different things that may not…

How to Become Mentally Healthy
Links in this post are not apart of the affiliate program but are links to more information if you would like to research the topic further. I am not getting paid to put these links in, they are just for your benefit. April is almost over. May will settle in and those who are college students will be enjoying a summer where they will probably work all day, then party all night. May is also Mental Health Awareness Month in the United States of America, or just America, and I have planned a four wonderful posts about Depression. But before I get into all of that and I go into…

What Is Love?
What is love? The first thing to come to your mind may be a popular song that was made in the ’90s, but its a topic that has been debated. Some may think that it is just some form of attraction, attachment, or passion. For most of my life, I didn’t know what love was. I knew that I loved my parents, my sisters, and my friends, but besides that, I couldn’t have told you what love was except defining it as “a feeling”. There are so many movies out there that just made me even more confused. I would see many couples fight, not communicate, or just run away…
