Hello! 🫶 Writing and I have an on-again off-again relationship, as I've lost time or motivation to do it in the past. When I'm inspired, I can't stop. I love it in all forms- fiction, nonfiction, poetry... Thanks for visiting my profile!

Musical Anhedonia: Life Without a Soundtrack
Musical anhedonia is a neurological condition where individuals cannot experience pleasure from music, despite having normal auditory processing and appreciating other rewards. Affecting about 3–5% of people, it is caused by reduced functional connectivity between auditory cortex areas and the brain’s dopaminergic reward system (like the nucleus accumbens).

I have a bad case of driving anxiety. Once I hit the road, I become an unforgiving, scared, and short tempered person. Every little inconvenience angers me enough to make me scream and that terrifies me. I dread becoming this person, so I white knuckle the steering wheel and hover in the slow lane, trying to avoid trouble.

I’m New at Being a Ghost and I’m Already Doing It Wrong
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Miller, Hi! You don't know who I am, but I know all about you. Mr. Miller, you wake up every morning at 5:30 AM and brew yourself a pot of coffee before daybreak. You spend 30 minutes sitting on the couch, mug in hand, scrolling through social media until your 6 AM alarm goes off. I get that, I always needed to warm up my brain before starting my day, too. After that second alarm, you get ready for work and you leave at 7:30 AM on the dot every morning.

Pokemon Pokopia: From Wasteland to Wonderland
I was looking forward to Pokemon Pokopia ever since it was first announced. As a huge fan of both Animal Crossing and Pokemon, it appeared to be a wonderfully playful bridge between the two-- and it did not disappoint.

My Grey's Anatomy Hot Takes
Grey's Anatomy is a show that has been around since 2005, but only entered my life in Fall 2023. I became interested after seeing the discussion on social media.

The Beauty of Purpose
~🐝♥️~ Life was looking bleak for a moment. I struggle to get out of bed and can feel the normal heavy fatigue set into my eyes another day. Body aching but not from physical pain caused by exercise or the feeling of weakness from sickness, but from carrying the heavy weight of sadness on a constant basis. The best part of waking up is the bliss before it all sinks in. I slowly start getting ready, knowing this is the most awake I’ll feel all day. People will look at me and think I’m groggy from waking up, or sleepy from having taken a nap. I’ll be the only one who knows it’s exhaustion from being alive. Eventually I make it to the bus stop, eyes blinded by a sun that’s hiding behind a mountain of clouds. Everything always is too bright and blurry even with 20/20 vision. I lean against the bench but do not sit, as I know I will struggle to stand back up once the bus arrives. The cars whir by me in waves, loudness coming and going, people with their own lives entering mine and leaving all in an instant. I look to my left at the grass that fills the median and gaze upon the little flowers growing. Smaller lives born from dirt and rain. That’s when I see the bee, going from flower to flower picking the pollen from the petals. A busy bee working to collect to feed its queen. I stare as the bee inches closer and I realize that I am jealous. I am jealous that this bee gets to spend its life knowing its purpose, it’s reason for being here, and has the motivation to do it. To fly from flower to flower and take every last drop of pollen to serve the queen and its colony. It’s colony that gives it a sense of belonging. In that instant, the sun peaks out from behind the clouds and the day gets a little brighter. The grass is glowing, the bee keeps flying, and a sense of warmth washes over me. As quickly as it came, it went. The sun went back into its hiding spot and a chill washed over my spine. I look up and the bus has arrived. I look back for the bee and it is gone, for a moment so small is always fleeting.

Embracing Rest as Growth. AI-Generated.
Many people believe that being alone is boring or a waste of time because we live in a society that constantly stresses the importance of staying busy and productive. Being alone can be one of the most valuable things you can experience, and the idea of “wasting time” is really just a misconception.

People Who Became Successful Later in Life
It can feel defeating to be at a certain age and not know what path you'd like your career to take. It can feel like we are surrounded by people with dreams: future doctors, future lawyers, future scientists, etc. Dreams can change, and careers may not always be what we imagined. When doubting career decisions or panicking about a lack of passion, it can be difficult to keep finding the motivation to search for a way to keep advancing career-wise.

How You Can Tell if an Image is AI Generated
As artificial intelligence (AI) technology continues to advance, AI-generated images are becoming increasingly prevalent across various platforms and industries. From marketing and social media to entertainment and design, AI tools can now produce highly realistic visuals, often indistinguishable from those created by human artists. This growing use of AI-generated content has raised concerns about authenticity, with images being manipulated for misinformation, propaganda, or deceptive advertising. As a result, detecting AI-generated images has become an essential skill, helping individuals and organizations identify and address the potential risks posed by this rapidly evolving technology.
