Storytime: When will this pandemic end?

Hello and welcome to my blog! So I tried this themed thing and I think it has pulled the plug on my creativity and originality and spontaneity. My impulsive nature is a bad thing when it comes to problem solving and conflict resolution, but it comes in handy when I’m writing. I wanted to get

Storytime: I’m fine

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Me: In case you’re wondering how my day is going, I just broke down into tears an hour ago during my son’s French class because the teacher asked him a question in French, he froze, and I kept telling him to answer, and the teacher could hear me, and he kept looking

Storytime: Day 3 of total lockdown

It’s day 3 of the total lockdown and I’m telling you it’s hard. Not because I’m not getting much of my goals done. Not because I can’t leave the house. Not because I’m moody and keep trying to tell myself “I am calm and in control of my emotions”. But because I have to walk

Storytime: Looks like we’re stuck with e-learning

Hello 👋 reader and welcome to my blog! How are you doing today? Do you have any kids who are e-learning? How’s it going for you? I’ll tell you how it’s going for me. IT’S GOING FREAKING GREAT! I’m being sarcastic, of course. I do understand that learning online is better than not learning at

The psychology behind the flinstones and other shows

There are a lot of shows that I used to watch as a kid, sorry as a teenager (my parents didn’t let us start watching tv until I was 13) that I used to love. Looking back, I realize that most of these shows are messed up. Disney, for starters, is not suitable for children.

Blacklisted

I had an anxiety attack today. Then I did meditation and felt better. Then I had a panic attack. I started shaking and crying and I couldn’t breathe and my heart was pounding in my chest. I’m still suffering from the remnants of the panic attack. It drained all my energy, though, and now I

Happy Monday 🙃

Good morning! How are you doing today? I have a migraine as usual. I’m trying so hard to to go with the flow, not planning, but believe me this week has been bizarre and part of the reason I think is because I’m trying to be spontaneous and not plan. I feel like “who am

I don’t understand daylight savings 😕

Last night I was still awake at 11:54pm. A few minutes later, I checked my phone and it said 11:02pm. I don’t know about you, but when this happens, my biological clock gets all messed up and I’m unable to sleep. It took me hours to fall asleep, and the few hours I slept were

Pros and cons of wearing your heart on your sleeve

To defer to a classic idiom: It’s a day to wear our heart on our sleeve. We use the phrase casually, to mean exposing our true emotions, making ourselves vulnerable and letting it all hang out. We all want others to see us happy, partly because society is unacceptive of mood swings, associates them with

October 17th, I got all the feels

My heart is constantly heavy. I’m beyond the point of trying to be positive. There is just so much going on around me, my feelings can’t keep up. Today was the 1st anniversary of the Lebanese revolution of October 17th 2019. The world is on fire and I just can’t cope anymore. Everything keeps getting
