I Don’t Know Who Needs to Hear This but Stop Canceling Your Appointments. Go Back to Therapy, Sis.
Mental Health by Ebony Davis • January 12, 2020 2019 was supposed to be my year of pouring back into self and taking the power over my own life back into my hands due to allowing myself to spiral off into self-destructive and harmful behaviors and patterns. I set up my first appointment with my therapist around April and went consistently, every week, until July. I don’t know what happened at the time or what triggered me during my last session, but I literally stopped going. Again.
Cash or Credit? Mental Health & The Exchange of Social Niceties
You might say that I’ve always been lonely. Rarely alone, but always lonely. I experience some difficulty in letting people get close to me. It’s a weird dichotomy that I’m constantly straddling in my social situations. I’m very all or nothing when it comes to sharing with others. I have plenty of amazing friends, but most don’t know about anything that occurred in my life before the age of 19, really.
Fluctuating Struggle of Sleeping & Staying Awake
Mental Health by Christi Anne Ng • January 12, 2020 For me, sleep is more complicated than just being the biological mechanism of rest and recovery. It’s not even as simple as defining it by my sleep disorder diagnosis of a condition that closely mimics narcolepsy. The sleep patterns I experience are probably almost as transitional as my moods. The most signature manic sleep cycle I experience is little to no sleep. Things like staying up all night writing or painting.
The Skinny Girl Got Fat
Do you know how many times I have said this to Bryan? SO. MANY. TIMES. Like, so many. And then so many times, I’d start a diet, start exercising and nothing would change. I’d look in the mirror and I would still see fat. If you know me, you know that I have all my life been what one would call, a “skinny mini.” I have always been a size 2, 115 pound gal all my life. Then one day, something happened, and I went up to a size 14, 190 pound gal.
what it would take
Poetry by Kira Borum • December 19, 2019 the roars of the waves would have to cease mid-crash and the water falling into itself sinking down like soft rain the vacuuming wings of a tornado lifting higher into the ground would have to turn slower in the air until it blends in with the calm winds the cackling whips of the orange fire would have to stop all destruction the fallen trees turning into an endless fire pit becoming a fireplace for the homeless Comment by kirabee12 Hola, I'm Kira, I'm...
When your first "Forever" ends...
Poetry by Kalion Kava • December 18, 2019 My forever is bruised. Hands that were meant to love; loved someone else. My forever is skeptical. Lips that spoke vows; spewed lies with just as much ease. My forever is cautious. Knots that were tied; became frayed before unraveling entirely. My forever is timid. Dreams that were shared; turned to nightmares in the dark.
E-Cigarettes and the Vaping Industry: 2019 Universal Trends, Division, and Prospective Forecast to 2025
Culture by Sponsored Content • November 22, 2019 Electronic cigarettes are designed to look like traditional cigarettes. However, they have detachable parts including a rechargeable battery and a disposable e-liquid cartridge. They include the hand-to-mouth action of smoking but no tobacco is burnt. Instead, it uses a heating element that vaporizes e-liquid automatically when you take a puff. E-cigarettes are an example of vaping devices.
These Five Women Are Redefining Boardrooms Around the NFL
Photo by Thomson200 / CC0 1.0 In terms of public perception, the NFL was an unabashed “boy’s club” for decades. Sundays during football season were well known as a day when men gathered with other men to watch men play a gladiator-esque sport under the direction of men. That’s no longer the case. Today, women are responsible for 45 per cent of the NFL’s viewership. We work in every non-player aspect of the sport, from the front office and TV broadcasts to coaching and officiating.

Pumpkinheads (2019)
Culture by Noelle Slaughter • November 10, 2019 “Deja, I don’t want October to be over. Because October means you.” – Josie, Pumpkinheads 2019 October is usually the time for thrills and chills up the spine but sometimes we need a little love, friendship and memories to remind us of the cool fall breeze. And that’s what Pumpkinhead by Rainbow Rowell and Faith Eric Hicks does just that. Both of these writers cultivate a comic about the longing how things use to be.
Looking for Ways to Reduce Your Footprint on the Earth – These Green Initiatives Can Be a Step in the Right Direction | Harness Magazine
Feeling good about yourself and the life you are living is much more than just how you feel in the moment. Self-awareness, acceptance, and love are all part of living a happy and healthy life, but understanding that your actions affect other people around you and the very earth you live on takes things to the next level.
Friendship, Male Entitlement, and Internalized Misogyny
I remember the shirt I was wearing when I first spoke to him, the way his shitty headphones felt pressed up against my ears (oh how blessed was the day his parents purchased a pair of earbuds for us to share), and then there was his laughter…the way he would pretend to stifle it, only for the after effect to be all the more explosive. It always seemed that his raw brain power could exceed my wildest imagination. His intelligence was unstoppable.
