Trigger Warning: Severe depression, self-harm, suicide mentions Last night, I had one of the hardest nights of my life. It was the closest I have ever been to actually taking action on my thoughts of self-harm/suicide. I really had to talk myself out of doing it, which is not something I have ever e...

My experiences with tampons are generally miserable! They really irritate me in several ways, so I want to try menstrual cups! I think they would be a great option for me, and also environmentally friendly and cost effective! However, my mom has used one before, and she has a low cervix, so it hangs...

Implantation bleeding is typically just bleeding that occurs 10-14 days after conception; it's the result of the sperm attaching itself to the uterine lining.

It made him incredibly self conscious, to the point where he...

Sometimes I struggle with a lot of the issues, too! It's hard to stand up in the face of judgement sometimes, but especially when it comes to parents! I feel like, if it weren't for my parents, I could feel comfortable making my own decisions about shaving and other appearance-related things, but as...

I knit and crochet (or try to, at least!)
I also enjoy water colors, sculpting, digital art, and probably tons more stuff! A little bit of everything, really! I wish I was better at knitting/crocheting, though! It's hard for me to do simple stitches still!

Not gonna lie, Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" never fails to inspire an energetic need to get on with my life! Also, the whole not-caring-about-what-anyone-else-thinks thing can be awfully relevant! And it's so upbeat...I love it!
