How The World Fits Into You

March 30, 2012

(source) The basic argument of my thesis is that in order to overcome depression, one must find meaning in one’s life.  Finding that meaning or purpose then allows us to take action to satisfy it, thereby fulfilling that existential emptiness that many of us have.  Existential emptiness is the result of unanswered questions such as, [...]

Taking Life Down a Notch

March 28, 2012

Do you hear that clock ticking in the background? The one that reminds you how much time you’ve lost or how little time you have left? Some of us hear it when we have a deadline to meet or something important coming up and others of us can’t remember life without it.  Guess which camp [...]

Project Rawvitalize Week 4: Focus, Dream, Create

March 27, 2012

Good morning all I must have been exhausted because as soon as I went to bed last night I didn’t wake up until I heard Angie pawing at her crate needing to go out to potty.  A relaxing sleep can be so rejuvenating and I’m very thankful for that. As for Project Rawvitalize, this is [...]

Don’t Steal My Sunshine

March 26, 2012

Top of the Monday to you all Taking some time away from the blog this weekend was a good thing for me.  Don’t get me wrong I love writing, but last week I felt that I was writing for the sake of writing rather than focusing more on high quality content over quantity of posts. [...]

Break Me Off a Piece of that…Fancy Feast

March 23, 2012

Angie and I took another walk around campus earlier this evening and the lawns were peppered with students outside in bathing suits tanning on towels and barbecuing.  I try to take her on a different paths each time we go so she has new things to smell and check out.  We walked by the dorm [...]

Recess For Grown-Ups: Why Being Nice to Yourself is a Must

March 22, 2012

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had my share of “moments” recently.  The moments when I want to throw in the towel and use an eating disorder symptom, when my anxiety over school and my future overcomes me to the point that I’d rather numb out with self-harm, and when I’m being inundated with [...]

“But I’m SUPPOSED to have a job I hate and be miserable while putting a smile on my face. That’s the American Dream!!!”

March 22, 2012

“Happiness cannot thrive within the prison of obligation” (source) Before anyone goes crazy about the title of this post, please allow me to explain.  This was a thought that popped into my brain Monday night while walking Angie around my campus.  I’m completely smitten with Angie, but the last few days have been saturated with [...]

March 21, 2012

This is now the 4th post that I’ve written that I’ve wanted to put up today.  The past few days have been…well…shitty. I really want Raw Recovery to be a positive space without sugar coating the hard stuff, and I pride myself on being as authentic and genuine as I can with all of you [...]

March 19, 2012

Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you! Dr. Seuss I decided I needed to snaz up my button for Project Rawvitalize to really capture the essence of what I’m trying to do.  For those of you just joining me on this project, I’ll [...]

St. Patty’s Day Smart Ass and Bad Ass

March 18, 2012

I’m being completely honest here, I didn’t even remember it was St. Patrick’s Day yesterday until about noon when I saw a guy dressed in green wearing a leprechaun hat.  I personally didn’t feel the need to dress up for this holiday, at least not since I found out leprechauns weren’t real.  Oddly enough, I [...]
