How to Deal with a Creative Block
Right now, I'm at the end of another creative block. I'm an amateur photographer and when I'm in the creative zone, I can take dozens of photos a day and the very least, feel satisfied with them, but when you're stuck in a creative block, it is difficult, you go through the motions, just crafting and curating your art for the sake of doing so. And it's immensely frustrating whether it is your profession or you're like me, and it's something you enjoy.

Being Lonely in 2018
Loneliness, something we have all gone through at some stage, right? But with most people, it tends to pass after a period. Sadly it has remained consistent throughout my life. But there's no point beating around the bush, I'm lonely. There, I said it! I'm a lonely person. Over the years, I've wanted find ways to say it without saying it, but I guess it's easier to be direct.

Anxiety and Depression Ruined My Life, Now I'm Taking It Back
It is something that has taken me a long time to fully acknowledge, I had always tried to play it down or shrug it off. I've often mentioned in passing my struggles with anxiety and my depressive moods, but I cannot recall a scenario where I went into great detail about it. More often than not, I just brushed it off with the admirable, if sometimes misguided, stoicism society tends to encourage. Even in 2017, talking about mental health still appears to be a stigma. It's hard to admit you're struggling, let alone tell another human being or a group about it, putting yourself out there, allowing yourself to be vulnerable is extremely daunting. Also, people generally do not want to hear anything other than "positive vibes only," it's less of a hassle to say you're okay and put a brave face on things, even if it's just for show.
