That Little Bungalow on The River

          Where do I begin? The four walls that have held me & my family for the last almost five years will always be a part of me, and to find a way to concise it into a blog post would be like holding a candle to one of the brightest stars in the galaxy.     "Oh, it's XXXX square feet, planted on the river, number two, in a row of three other bungalows,” we always tell new friends.     Next door, there's "Faye-Faye", our child's adopted Grandmother. A small, gated yard that my dog, Popeye, frequently jumps to take a muddy dip in the river bed from time to time.     "Oh, I wish we had more space", I catch myself sighing to Joey on the regular. But I don't.

Mental Illnesses Have Turned Into Fads - A Rant

  I'm just going to start off this blog post by saying that if you're offended by the title, chances are: you're likely the reason mental illness has become a fad. Anyone who is actually affected by mental illness will agree with me and understand what I'm saying. Moving on.
  I feel like I catch myself more times than not scrolling through Instagram and finding people using depression and anxiety as a way to market themselves, and it's ridiculous.
  The fact that mental illnesses have turned into something resembling a fashion statement is absolutely insane. I cannot imagine legitimately choosing to have anxiety or depression to make myself more relatable to the general public. Mental illnesses have been romanticized in our society, plain and simple, and it's stupid. 
  I know this is short and may come off across as preach-y, but to be honest, it needed to be said, in my opinion. In a first-world mindset where everything seems to be "offensive" these days, let it be said: claiming that you struggle with a mental illness for attention is so utterly disgusting. You should feel ashamed of yourself.
  I wouldn't wish having mental illness on my worst enemy, and I'm sorry to anyone else that has to live their day-to-day life with it, in any form.
