My Anxiety Is A Burden

My Anxiety Is A Burden

For so many years, I’ve felt like a burden because of my anxiety. I find myself saying “I’m sorry” a lot and most times, I don’t exactly know what I’m sorry for.

Let's Play A Game

Let’s Play A Game

When it comes to my history with video games, owning a Super Nintendo changed my life. That era of gaming, and specifically my time with that console, transformed me into a kid who likes video games into a full-blown gaming enthusiast (at least for me and anything Nintendo related).

I Want To Go On A Trip

         When I was 16-years-old, I went to San Francisco with my parents. I remember thinking then, while walking all over the city, that I was going to return one day.
