I never really thought anxiety could mess with my memory—until it did. There was a week when I walked into rooms and forgot why I was there. I’d lose track mid-conversation or reread the same paragraph five times without processing a word. At first, I blamed it on stress, maybe even burnout. But the deeper…
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably flirted with the idea of minimalist shoes—those sleek, barely-there pairs that promise freedom, better posture, and a more natural stride. I was sold by the hype. But what they don’t always tell you is how transitioning to minimalist footwear can affect your lower back, especially if you’re already…
Apartment hunting sounds exciting on paper, right? A fresh start, new neighborhood, maybe even that dream kitchen with a breakfast nook. But if you’re like me—and many others—you know that behind the Pinterest boards and floor plans, there’s a deep, gnawing anxiety that sneaks up every step of the way. I’ve moved more times than…
There was a time when I didn’t even realize how brutally I was speaking to myself. I’d mess up one small thing at work or forget a commitment, and this inner voice would chime in with, “You’re so careless,” or “You always screw things up.” Over time, I began noticing that this constant stream of…

Ever had that strange moment when you switch out a lightbulb, look up, and suddenly see a swarm of little dots, specks, or shadowy cobwebs drifting across your vision? Yeah, me too. The first time it happened to me, I thought it was just the brightness messing with my eyes—or maybe dust. But no. Those…
You ever stare through a magnifying lens—maybe while tinkering with a watch, inspecting coins, or just geeking out on nature—and suddenly these odd, shadowy shapes start drifting across your vision? Like translucent worms or blurry dots that swim out of nowhere? Yeah, I’ve been there. It’s a weird little interruption you don’t expect, and honestly,…
Ever sat at your desk wondering if you’re doing enough—only to have that thought spiral into a full-on mental rabbit hole? I’ve been there more times than I care to admit.
