Morning routine . Top Story - March 2021.
Peering into the woman who stood before me, I got lost in the uncertainty of her glare. Unemotive eyes hiding the tension held between her shoulders, pulling her posture inward. The routine sigh wasn’t deep enough to release the tightness that wrapped around her chest. Quiet judgments filled the air, even in silence they were all I could hear, I guess I never quite learned how to love the reflection I saw in the mirror. Clumsily, I collect my things. Frightened by the echo of my mascara hitting the bathroom sink, still not a cacophony bold enough to bring me back to the moment. I had drifted down the deserted path of my anxieties, absent of the wisdom I held my standards to, and there was no end in sight. Alerted by the reverberating call coming from my torn coat pocket, it was time to force myself out the door.

Second Life
The wind was sharp as knives against the bare parts of his face. The man tugged at the loose hanging edges of his scarf, tightening it. With every step the blistering cold night air pierced its way through the multiple layers of clothing he had tightly packaged himself in. Her could feel his fingers and toes start to burn despite the handmade knit socks and gloves he wore. His mother had made them for him two christmases ago.

The Art of Puking in Public Restrooms
There is an art to puking in public restrooms. To start, you must wear average, boring, unrecognizable shoes. If you work in an office building, you must alternate which floor and restroom you use. In the event you run into another person more than once, you must gently pat your stomach and wink.

Anxiety in the Workplace

I Am Not My Mental Illness
Hello my fellow readers and writers! I am new to blogging and too this platform so I thought that I would take a quick minute to introduce myself, before hopping into this article. For starters my name is Sierra and I'm 16 years old. I am from a small town in Michigan and along with being an aspiring journalist. How my Friday nights go is staying home watching Hulu or reading a book that I got from a local bookstore. Photography is another passion of mine. When I can't find the words to express something I use an image to capture my emotions. I go to a small one hallway high school that is full of drama and raging hormones. Sounds fun, right? You could say that I am a total nerd. One would come to the conclusion that I am your typical teenager. Well enough about me let's jump in to this article.

Is It Okay to Disclose Mental Illness at Work?
If you have a mental illness and work at either a paid job or a volunteer gig, chances are at some point you'll be faced with the question of whether to disclose your mental illness at work, and if so, how much. While employers may not be legally allowed to discriminate, the possibility of negative repercussions is still very real.
