Articles like these can feel challenging and complicated to write, because, as a healthcare worker in the acute psychotic field, I am expected to leave my emotions at the door and not let the things I experience “get to” me. To work in this field, you have to be this way. Nurses and healthcare workers […]
MoreAs I go back and read my old blog posts, particularly the entries in the fall and winter of 2019, I am reminded of the person I used to be before quarantine, Zoom meetings, financial hardship, and burnout. My problems were certainly valid in my undergrad years, but I do wonder how Old Me would […]
MoreTuesday, March 23 Long time, no write! Per usual, I’m really sorry for being so behind on my blog. I know that nobody really cares or is holding it against me, but this is more so an apology to myself for not feeling motivated enough. Maybe it’s the changing of seasons that’s throwing me off, […]
MoreMonday, February 15 I wasn’t scheduled to work this Monday, which means I have now had the past four days off. It seriously feels like I’m on vacation. If I wasn’t receiving unemployment benefits to compensate for the drop in hours I’ve experienced due to covid, I would probably be extremely upset to have all […]
MoreSunday, February 7 Now that we’re in February, the reality that I’m moving to Maine in April feels closer than ever. I’ve already found someone who might be potentially interested in subletting, and I’ve also started amping up my job search.

MoreFriday, January 29 I’m very proud of myself for *not* procrastinating and actually getting started on my newsletter before the day I’m actually supposed to post it! Even if it’s just two days before, that’s still a step in the right direction. Right now I am sitting in a little cafe a few blocks from […]
MoreSunday, January 17 Hey folks! How are we doing today? I’m doing much better than I have in past weeks, hence why there hasn’t been a newsletter since now. The best way I can equate it is by comparing it to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. If you’re struggling with personal needs, your motivation is less […]
MoreMonday, December 28 Merry (late) Christmas to my friends who celebrate the holiday, and to everyone, I hope you all had a happy, safe weekend with your friends and family! My Christmas was pretty up-and-down, but overall uneventful. Actually, the entire past week was so simultaneously bad and yet anticlimactic in a way I can’t […]
MoreSunday, November 29 Hi everybody, I hope you’re all staying safe and healthy! It’s been a little while since I’ve posted on here so today I am trying to make a strong effort to get back into it. It’s not even that I haven’t been enjoying writing, and more so that I just haven’t been […]
MoreSunday, November 15 Hi, everyone! How are you all doing? Is it starting to feel like winter wherever you live? We have plenty of chilly days here in Boston, but for the most part, it’s actually been sticking in the forties these past few weeks. Although it’s a bit concerning, environmental-wise, it is nice on […]
