ATTENTION, ATTENTION
I’m literally writing this because I want attention. I want people to read my words. I want people to validate me as a writer. I want people to tell me I’m talented. I want people to share with their friends and family to make me go viral. I’m begging for attention. Please pay attention toContinue reading “ATTENTION, ATTENTION”
I’m Not Wearing Any Clothes
If you watched Inside Out 2, then you are familiar with watching anxiety take over a person’s body. It’s a pretty decent look into what happens when someone struggles with anxiety. Most everyone has experienced the feeling of anxiety. Most everyone has experienced those feelings before some type of important event, or when you’re worriedContinue reading “I’m Not Wearing Any Clothes”
Bucket List #18 and #35
If you haven’t read my bucket list blog, please head here: https://authorarielpierce.com/2023/01/03/a-30-year-olds-bucket-list/ I considered writing an individual blog for each item but decided against it. I thoroughly thought through a well-constructed blog about how owning a robot vacuum changed my life. It did for about a week and then it became, like many thingsContinue reading “Bucket List #18 and #35 “
Bucket List # 39
I shared my bucket list with a few of my coworkers and they started throwing out suggestions on how to accomplish some of the items. Most of the items on my list require a large amount of planning. Item 39 did not take much planning! As a reminder, if you haven’t read my blog “AContinue reading “Bucket List # 39”
Precious Monster
My first parenting thought was, “They’re legit going to let me leave the hospital with this baby?” Since then, I’ve thought “this kid is the coolest,” “if I could give this kid back, I would,” “my child is a beautiful ray of sunshine,” and “this child is a monster.” Here are a few statementsContinue reading “Precious Monster”
To Clean or Not to Clean
It’s been about a month since I posted a Mental Health Monday blog. My mental health took a couple of hits recently that took away my spark to write. I didn’t want to create any reactive material that lacked substance and wreaked anger. I didn’t want to turn my physical tears into written sadness. I’mContinue reading “To Clean or Not to Clean”
Peer Pressure
It’s my 20th blog post and what better way to celebrate than writing about peer pressure for Mental Health Monday! Peer pressure is being influenced by one’s peer group. Peer pressure is addressed most as a teenager and comes up in shows geared towards teens, addressed by parents and teachers, and is gone by theContinue reading “Peer Pressure”
Sibling Relationships Are Weird
This Mental Health Monday I plan to dive into my family tree a bit. I’ve posted a few blogs about friendships and have shared bits and pieces of my life in other ones. I typically write when I feel inspired and this is where my brain is currently landing, topic wise. All of this blogContinue reading “Sibling Relationships Are Weird”
Work Friends
“Yo, why do you have me legit processing you quitting, in therapy?” I’ll get back to that quote in a bit. Before I began my current job, I hadn’t held a position for more than two years. Prior to my current one, I worked at/for Amazon, my college’s cafeteria (making the best sandwiches ever), Target,Continue reading “Work Friends”
