Life Stories and Everyday Drama

so I decided to tackle the mess that is my digital photo library, thinking it would be a quick, mindless task. Spoiler alert: it was anything but. I started scrolling through pictures from a recent family reunion and suddenly I was hit with a tidal wave of nostalgia. Who knew my camera roll was basically a time…

So, out of nowhere since yesterday I’m not on my first team and now I’m giving support to another team. And nobody’s telling me for how long I’ll be helping this new team. But I’m starting to like this team so much more than the old one so I truly hope to stay there. I think that this change’s because I’ve been making…

ever been to a dinner party where you're just mentally stuck on something and can't snap out of it? picture this: we’re chilling at our friend’s place, the vibe is great, music's playing softly in the background, and everyone seems to be getting along. my partner’s usually chatty, you know. but tonight, every time my…

moving to this house totally threw me off balance. i had this amazing support network back where I came from (friends who really got me you know?) and now I'm in this giant place surrounded by strangers. it's like drowning in a sea of faces and no one's even looking your way... ever felt that? I thought I'd manage…

finding out that a close friend has been spinning tall tales about something I thought was pretty sensitive has really thrown me for a loop. now, every time I think about our friendship, I can’t help but wonder what’s real and what’s just a fabrication. it’s like I’ve got a permanent filter of skepticism over…

So, picture this. I'm at work, trying to keep my cool during a chat with a coworker. You know, the usual corporate banter. But somehow, the conversation escalates, and before I know it, I’m fighting back tears like a toddler who just dropped their ice cream. It’s embarrassing, right? And this isn’t the first time it’s…

I started a new job recently, and once again, I feel like I'm out of place compared to my colleagues. It's not just this job either; it's been a recurring pattern throughout my life in different environments. Whether it's in school, at previous jobs, or in various social settings, the feeling of being inadequate…

I don't know where to start, or if there is even one singular place to start. I am the first born in a family of three with siblings that are much younger than me. My mom died when I was 12, but our second born was just 3 and the other was just 1. I had to grow up pretty quickly. My dad cut us off from all the family…

so here's the thing. you're at a party your mutual friend threw, and there he is across the room, completely unexpected. you thought you were over him. sure, things got messy back when everything ended, but life moves on, or it should anyway. yet somehow all these tired clichés don’t work because you see him and it’s…

i've just turned 18 and i'm in my last few months of high school, which is supposed to be an exciting time. but for me, it's filled with a bit more stress than usual because my relationship with my parents has been rocky for quite some time now. it's like walking on eggshells every day at home and i can feel the…

ok, i gotta vent about something that's been bugging me for a while. my mom has been getting on my case for the tiniest things these days, and it's starting to really stress me out. like, the other day, i left a spoon on the kitchen counter instead of putting it in the sink. no big deal, right? wrong! she totally…

so, i'm sitting in my car right now. just got off the phone with my cousin, who always seems to know exactly how to get under my skin. it's like she has a PhD in button pressing....i mean seriously, how does someone become such an expert at it? i swear, every time we talk it turns into some kind of mental chess match…

so like i was sittin there chillin after dinner, just minding my own business, when boom! 😲 suddenly i hear my parents goin at it about money... again!!!! seriously, can we not have a single meal without this drama??? it's like they wait until the plates are cleared to start their financial boxing match!! and lemme…

dudes, i recently found out that somebody in my office has been spreading rumors about me. it's really starting to tick me off. you know when someone just twists up a perfectly fine day? yeah, that’s how i'm feeling lately. there's no evidence right now, so i'm like lowkey blindfolded trying to navigate this nonsense.…

I’ve found out at therapy that sometimes whenever I’m going trough a good phase, like finally taking care of my body and mind and being more responsable in many aspects in my life, like to finally save money, help a lot at home, cook my own food, do the laundry and those kind of stuff. I’m surrounded by great friends…
