Just a poorly drawn carrot writing about life and stuff she cares about
I seem to have fallen out of the habit of writing a little something for the blog every two-ish months and interestingly, I’ve been feeling guilty about it. That, in turn, probably exacerbated my not wanting to write anything new, as it ended up being something else on my to-do list, waiting to be taken … Continue reading Exhaustion / Hello Again
I feel like writing, but I don’t know (yet) how this post will turn out. Sometimes I have a very precise idea of what I want to write about and then I just follow through and put it into words. Most times, however, I change course in the middle of writing or I end up … Continue reading Therapy Mondays
“Belonging is the innate human desire to be part of something larger than us. Because this yearning is so primal, we often try to acquire it by fitting in and by seeking approval, which are not only hollow substitutes for belonging, but often barriers to it.

It’s almost 1 a.m. and I can’t for the life of me convince my brain to go to sleep, even though I’m tired and have been feeling rather exhausted for most of the day (from a lack of quality sleep from the nights before, duh).

I had three weeks off in August, which was a very appreciated break from the office life and I think I actually made the most of it this time around. I often fear that … Continue reading The Social Heebie Jeebies
I feel like I’m surrounded by people who don’t seem to be happy. A lot of them are complaining about a myriad of things and seem disappointed by various life events or even life in general. I’m actually guilty of occasionally being a complainer myself − some days just suck, am I right? Given that … Continue reading Why Is Nobody Happy Anymore?
It’s been about a year since I started writing down my thoughts and worries quite consistently. As a result, one of the many notebooks I’ve bought over the years (by the way, does anyone else love buying pretty notebooks even though their purpose is unknown at the moment of purchase..?!) is getting close to being … Continue reading Random Thoughts Collection
Have you ever seen one of those movies in which, at some point, one of the characters looks into a room full of other happy characters through a window? The character is all alone and unhappy and wishing to be a part of the group he’s looking at from the outside, both craving a connection … Continue reading On the Outside Looking In
