Stolen Kisses
A kiss used to mean something to me. This time last year, I had only ever kissed three people. I say I kissed them because I was a happy, active participant. I can't count the men who have kissed me that way anymore, and while that slight change in language could probably be easily overlooked, that realization hurts me more than I can explain.

Why my cat has (almost) no teeth
Last month, my cat lost one of his top canine teeth. When I took him to the vet, the news only got worse. Almost all of his teeth needed pulled. He had a dental disease that went unchecked for so long that his teeth were destroyed, and he was missing most of his molars already.

Then, the coronavirus pandemic happened.

Mental health in college
College is hard. It's a lot harder with a disability, especially one that a lot of people like to pretend doesn't count. I've struggled with a generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder for years. Sure, that's been a challenge for what feels like my entire life, but I was never willing to call it a disability. At least, I wasn't until about a year ago.
