If You Never Heal From What Hurt You, You Will Continue to Bleed on Those Who Did Not Cut You

Trauma is probably something that shouldn’t be as highly relatable as it is, but unfortunately, almost every single person you come into contact with has suffered or endured something in their past that has dramatically altered the course of their existence. It has molded us, impacted us, and effected us, but it should never define […]

Let it Out

June 22, 2021 Samantha Schell Family, Friendship, Positivity, Stress friendship, frustration, Stress, venting 2

You know, sometimes I wonder if it really looks like I have it together so effortlessly, that no one bothers to check in every now and then to see if I need a mental reprieve from the constant bombardment of task after task and obligation after obligation. Most times, it suits me well, as my […]

Choose Your Hard

Everything is hard, you just gotta be bigger than your excuses and greater than your fears. Sure, easier said than done, but when are we going to stop letting our mind limit us and dictate our destinies? Someone* recently told me that anxiety is an emotion, not a diagnosis or personality trait, and to use […]

You Are Not Alone

May is mental health awareness month; a cause I will champion and continue to champion for the rest of my days. Perhaps the reason for this is because almost every single person you know has dealt with this issue in one aspect or another, whether it has personally effected them or someone that they love […]

The Straw that Breaks the Camel’s Back

When we have an accumulation of one thing after the next piling up on your plate, sometimes it’s the little crumb that sets you over the edge. Just like one insignificant little snowflake falling from the sky and causing an avalanche to teeter over the mountain and cascade downward with monumental and devastating repercussions. Often […]

Choke On It

February 9, 2021 Samantha Schell Anxiety, mental health, Perseverance, Stress Anxiety, anxious, mental health, ocd, Stress 9

There are days where I bite off so much more than I could chew that I honestly should be given the Heimlich maneuver 24/7. It’s almost amazing I haven’t choked on my responsibilities and reached an inevitable death from taking on so many tasks at one time. I have always loathed the idea of putting […]

Just Scroll on By

October 6, 2020 Samantha Schell Anxiety, mental health, Positivity, Stress Anxiety

One of the age old pieces of wisdom many of us heard while growing up is if you don’t have anything nice to say, then say nothing at all. It seems that mentality in the era of social media has been tossed out the window with such gusto, that even Tom Brady’s deflated balls wouldn’t […]

Trying my Best to Eliminate Stress

Stress. One word. 6 letters. A whole bunch of reasons behind it. If you’re anything like me, you find yourself getting frazzled constantly, and often by exceptionally minute things that just tend to pile up over time. Little by little, the grains of sand start forming eclipsing dunes and you’ve made mountains out of mole […]

An Entanglement of Good Vibes

So lately I have seen a lot of people commenting and offering their own personal insights on the celebrity infidelity story that recently broke with Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. I find it a bit unusual and self-inflated that outside observers think they have any say or value to strangers’ relationships, and that just because […]

My Neck, My Back, This Quarantine is Whack

The times are unprecedented and the phrase ‘the new normal’ is being tossed around quite a bit as of late. One way courses being implemented in grocery stores, mandatory requirements on facial coverings and masks when out in public, all businesses deemed nonessential shut down for the foreseeable future. The economy is crippling, people are […]
