I experienced my very own Christmas miracle yesterday. No, no one got cured from cancer, it didn't snow while I was proposed to by Ryan Gosling, and I didn't meet J. K. Rowling.

The Internal Monologue of a Brazen Woman
Now that crazy midterm essay season is over, I can get back to my full time career of ranting on the internet! I've had a few mental health developments- I haven't been to the doctor yet because I've just been too busy, but I think that I may also have ADD which would explain a... Continue Reading →
That post where I admit some stuff and move forward
Ok so, I've decided that there's no 'maybe,' 'possibly' or 'sort of' about my situation. I have depression and I need to see someone about it.
