“Thank You” vs. “I’m Sorry”
I’m someone who apologizes a lot. Like a lot. I accidentally touch your foot? I’m sorry. I bumped into a wall? I’m sorry, wall. I ask you how you’re doing? I’m sorry. Most of the time when I apologize, it doesn’t really make sense. I notice that I apologize more when I’m having a bad day. The worse I feel about myself that day, the more I apologize, the more I want to go away and hide somewhere and stop bothering everybody.

Today, I would like to continue our discussion on loneliness that we touched upon last week (I hope you had an awesome 4th of July, by the way!). Because I am trying to make new friends, and I have been attending an orientation for my internship, I am working on…

Loneliness & PTSD
Hello, everyone!! Happy (almost) Fourth of July! Independence Day! Woo! My favorite song to listen to during this time of year is “Drunk Americans” by Toby Keith. It’s more about how we are all Americans rather than drinking! 😂 It reminds me that we can all laugh and get along, rather than constantly fight and point out our differences, in our country that has a lot to be proud of. Many people during this time of year are going on vacation. This may mean a great time or a time of boredom and loneliness. Sometimes, even when we are surrounded by people we love and who love us back, we…
