Hello

Hello.
Welcome to... whatever this is.
I've been thinking about starting a blog for a while.
I have a lot of thoughts and a lot of things I want to share.
I like to write.
I also have way too much free time on my hands.
A lot of my words already have a home on Twitter.
That's my most used medium for my thoughts and other things.
Yet here I am.
I'm used to keeping everything to 140-280 characters, so it'll be odd and perhaps refreshing to stretch out more.
I don't know what else to say.
Maybe no one will ever see this anyway.
I'll just chat away into the abyss.
Or perhaps someone will stumble across this somehow.
I do not know where this is going, but thanks for tagging along.

 See ya.

My Bilateral Salpingectomy Experience

 Hi! Happy almost June! ☀️ Don't listen to me EVER when I say I'll be back soon, because that's proven to be very untrue. I come and go as I like lately. But I am back because I wanted to make a post about my Bisalp experience last January. A bisalp, short for bilateral salpingectomy, is a procedure where both of your fallopian tubes are removed. This is a permanent form of sterilization, and as someone who doesn't want kids, is a choice I am very happy with. :) *NOTE: A bisalp is different from a tubal litigation. The procedure I got completely removes your fallopian tubes. A tubal just ties, cuts, or in some way interrupts the usual path for the egg to travel to the uterus. Bisalps are MUCH more effective and eliminate the risk of an ectopic pregnancy.* I had known that I wanted to be childfree for many many years. So when I got a new gynecologist, I spoke up right away about how I was interested in this procedure. My doctor is AMAZING, so we began the process immedia...

Maybe Your Parents Aren't Always Right

I love my parents. They drive me crazy sometimes, like any family member can, but I still love them. As I get older and grow and learn, I've realized that maybe my parents aren't always right. Shocking, I know. When you're a kid, you tend to be very gullible. You tend to be very trusting. You tend to believe what your parents or guardians tell you, and many times you end up sharing their opinions. Because this is how you were raised. This is what you always heard. This is what you've always known. And maybe when you voice your own opinions, you are quickly rebuffed and made to feel like you are wrong. Maybe they don't mean to, but that's how they make you feel. As I gain knowledge and wisdom and am exposed to many different ways of thinking through classmates, professors, friends, and the internet, my opinions and ideas shift and change. Some of the things I think or believe now may be a stark difference to what my parents think. But that's ...

Sunday Morning Mask

It has been said before that the church is like a "hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.” To me, this means that the church body is made up of broken, sinful people who need Jesus, not perfect people who follow religious rules. The church is meant to be a place where you can take off your mask, be real, vulnerable, and broken with those around you. Yet, I find myself walking in every Sunday with my mask firmly glued to my face. High heels. Hair brushed. Makeup on. Smile! "I'm doing just fine how are you!" "Everything is great!" Show your teeth now. Nod. Yes, everything is fine. But it's not. It's not fine. I think that a lot of others in the congregation keep their masks on too. We don't show our brokenness. Not even here. But perhaps there is a person or two here that they can be truly real with. I only have one. The mask dissolves for her only. And sometimes I have trouble even with that. We ge...
