    holidays & loss

    With Mother’s Day fast approaching I’ve found myself thinking more and more about my grandma and how much I miss her. I didn’t expect holidays to hit me so hard after she passed away. Thanksgiving was painful, though it was made easier by my family and boyfriend. However when Christmas rolled around it hit me…

    getting back

    So it’s been awhile since I’ve written a post. Between work, my personal life, and my mental state I have been busy to say the least. Mentally I’ve struggled a lot the last few weeks. My anxiety has been so bad that I feel claustrophobic in my own room. So I’ve been camping out in…

    whirlwind

    The last few weeks have been crazy to say the least. Started my new position at work and haven’t stopped moving. When I haven’t been working I have been spending time with my amazing boyfriend, wonderful family and also… sleeping. I dealt with a round of the flu, and then a bout of really bad…

    thoughts on allergies

    So growing up I wasn’t allergic to anything. Not medication, pollen, bug bites, or any kind of food. So much to my surprise a few years ago I found out I had allergies. To something I ate all the time: Nuts. This was not expected and it actually took awhile to realize that was the…

    more poetry

    As promised I have a few more poems to add to the collection. I had an extended streak of inspiration one day. It’s kind of funny how that happens. One day none will come to mind – like today. All the words were there but they wouldn’t go down on paper quite like they sounded…

    writing again

    So it’s been a very (very) long time since I’ve written any poetry. Recently I have been inspired once again. By no means am I very good at it, though I have found often times it’s easier for me to write down my feelings than express them out loud. I’m not sure why but when…

    the last month

    The last month has been a crazy whirlwind of change. Dealing with the loss of my grandmother was hard, harder than almost anything I’ve gone through up to this point. To put things in perspective during the worst of the that struggle at the end of July I didn’t want to keep going. I was…

    things that sometimes help.

    Hello. So I thought I would write an entry about some things that help me when I’m struggling with my anxiety and depression. This is not an all-inclusive list and sometimes there are things that work, and others that won’t. A lot of it is trial and error, which can be very frustrating when you…

    Hello ! Welcome to my blog! My name is Brianna, I am twenty-eight years old and live in the very “warm” state of Arizona. I will start this first post out by telling you a little about me. I love art, and am a very creative person by nature. I have been writing for more…

    loss

    A little over a month ago I found out my grandmother had passed away. I had already been struggling, my depression had been bothering me more than usual. When I got the news I was devastated. I had lost a few pets and my great-grandfather when I was growing up. However this loss seemed to…
