I'm over chronic illness. How do I do a factory reset?

Chronic illness: For every one fire you put out, 10 more pop up.

I will always be happy for a rainy day, but I must say that I would much prefer it on a day off so that I can enjoy it properly.

If I never see another 'Breaking News' sign ever again for the rest of my life, I would be ok with that.

We used to disagree on opinions; now we disagree on facts.

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

1,461 days left until the next inauguration

I can say with a good amount of certainty that the 2020s have NOT been my favorite decade so far.

I'm struggling with how to come to terms with people who I've shared years of memories with, yet who voted to take away my rights and the rights of those whom I love.

Change is hard. Uncertainty seems to be even more difficult.

If ghosts are real and I end up having to hang out with a billion people after I die, as an introvert, I'm going to be really upset.
