Symptoms of Depression

Depression is a multi-faceted thing, with many aspects and thought processes. It's not just about feeling sad and wanting to hide in bed with the covers over your head, about having a gray cloud over your head and dragging your feet with a frown on your face. Depression is a series of unhealthy thought processes and miseries, a sort of mental fatigue, a feeling that you're just tired of everything, done with everything.
And it comes in waves; sometimes you seem okay, and other times you go through periods where you're just in a funk. You feel angry, sad, and/or lacking the desire to do anything. Today, we'll delve into some of the icky realities of depression.

My Childhood Camping Experience

At one point during my childhood, my friend and I were going to Girl Scout camp. We'd be staying in cabins for the week, and doing various projects and activities. However, we wound up having to drive to the location, then stay at a nearby campsite, because we couldn't get a hotel. So begins the adventure.

Now, I'd never camped before, and let me tell you, I turned out to be a wimp. If I got lost in the wild, I'd be dead within the hour, probably from something ridiculous.

Book Review- 'The Fallen Moon' series by K.J. Taylor

After a social media poll, it was voted that I should write a review on this series. Note that this includes a number of spoilers, so if you're planning to read it, you should probably avoid this blog post. We'll also be discussing PG-13 subjects, so be forewarned.
Recently, I was at the library when I came across part of a fantasy series involving griffins, and I thought it would be a good read. They only had the second book there, so I requested the first to brought to my branch, then picked it up. And so I began my read of 'The Dark Griffin' by K. J. Taylor.

A Miserable Meal

Gather 'round, children, and hearken to my tale. It was a dark and stormy night, with thunderclaps overhead. Weak and starving, we stumbled towards the much longed-for food source, blissfully unaware of the peril that awaited us...

Whoops, got a little melodramatic there. Let me start over. Today we're going to explore a truly awful experience we had at a restaurant. Fasten your seat belts, folks, because it'll be a wild ride.

7 Songs of My Life

I was tagged on social media by Deborah Kelty a while back to do this, and I thought I'd post it on my blog as well. The title is fairly self-explanatory; choose seven songs that describe me in some way. Originally the post was about posting with 'no explanation', but I wanted to expand upon these more, so here we go.
