I came across this on my computer as I attempt to organize my life. I wrote this awhile ago and forgto about it so figured why not share. I have to admit, as a parent, I am guilty of providing my kids with cell phones and gaming systems. I was not great at regulating their ‘screen…

It has been a lot; this year has included many changes, some of which I could go along with, and others challenged me. For those who do not know my history, I could say go back and read my previous blog posts, but that would be a jerk thing to say, and I do not think…

I had to write a paper for one of my classes this year. I actually had to write multiple long papers, but this one is fresh in my mind. Oh, ya! I made it through the first year of my PhD. Anyways, back to the topic at hand. I had to write a paper for…

First, I am sorry for my prolonged absence. I keep meaning to write, but in true ADHD style, I get distracted or forget. I will try to do better. I feel sad and irritated, but I am unsure what it is. I just returned from a fantastic trip to LA with a really good friend. We went to see…

What are these feelings? They are such a contradiction. Elated, terrified, excited, overwhelmed…all at once. As most of you know, last week, I received an email I have been patiently waiting for, my offer of admission to the Ph.D. program at York.

So, I have an update. Have you ever imagined the unimaginable? I am still a little shocked, and it has not yet sunk in. I have been accepted to a Ph.D. program at York. I cannot put how I am feeling into words. I remember when I was a kid, I saw so many child psychologists because of my…

It has been a while since I posted; honestly, there is no excuse. I have been busy, yes, but that is usually when I thrive. The issue is living in limbo without a plan; that freaks me out. I know first-world problems. I have a roof over my head, a job, food… nothing to complain…

Damn, you brain. I have stated before that I only realized my intelligence less than five years ago. I know this sounds wild, but it’s my reality. I sometimes feel like I have two brains, one that is driven and hyper-focused and another that is scattered and struggles to recall words or remember the most straightforward fact.…

I am at a crossroads. I jumped and took a leap of faith, unsure of where I would land. This, for some, is exhilarating, but for me, it is unsettling. I plan everything, literally everything. I make lists and lists and then more lists for the same thing. Sometimes, I add, subtract, or lose them, but writing them is…
