When I realized I had been living with depersonalization and still showed up every day, it hit me: I didn’t just survive—I kept engaging with reality. This post unpacks what that means, and how it quietly reshapes everything.

Emotional eating often isn’t about food—it’s about survival. If eating feels like gasping for breath after drowning, the answer isn’t discipline, it’s understanding what’s driving the urgency. This post explores the deeper emotional and neurological patterns behind compulsive eating, and how small, grounded steps can begin to break the cycle.

The diet industry thrives on confusion, constantly shifting the narrative around what is "healthy" while profiting from restrictive trends. Eating well doesn’t have to be about control or fear—it can be about tuning into what actually makes you feel good. Here’s how to break free from diet culture while nourishing your body without restriction.

My brain has spent years treating every ache and pain as a catastrophe, convinced that each discomfort signals the beginning of the end. But this panic isn’t random—it’s rooted in a deep distrust of my body. Learning to recognize this fear, fact-check it, and ground myself in the present is helping me shift from survival mode to embodiment.

For years, a relentless part of me kept pushing forward, surviving without much to show for it. Now, that same drive is shifting—not just toward survival, but toward truly living. Feeling emotions, embracing reality, and stepping onto a path that leads out of the forest.

Looking at your own face and feeling nothing isn’t just about appearance—it’s about self-perception, depersonalization, and emotional disconnection. Similarly, realizing how dangerous your brain thinks touch is can trigger panic, but both are responses to deeper, unresolved experiences. This post unpacks why these reactions happen and how to begin reconnecting with yourself.

Homelessness isn’t just about bad luck or personal failure—it’s the result of deliberate policies, economic greed, and broken social systems. The housing market is rigged, wages haven’t kept up, and public services are designed to fail the people who need them most. This isn’t an accident; it’s a choice made by those in power.

Spending time with me means deep conversations disguised as casual chats, humor that cuts through nonsense, and a balance of sincerity and playfulness. Expect unexpected philosophical tangents, moments of emotional clarity, and a steady mix of curiosity and sharp wit.

Your sense of humor isn’t just about jokes—it’s a reflection of how you see the world. As you evolve, so does what makes you laugh. From structured satire to full-commitment absurdity, your comedic taste shifts as your perspective on life, social norms, and reality itself changes.

Humor and acting are deeply human ways of processing the world—one through laughter and absurdity, the other through emotional expression. If you weren’t raised with an understanding of either, they might feel foreign. This breakdown explores what makes humor work, how acting creates emotional truth, and why both are essential for human connection.
