Canceled

Cancel Me. After all, it seems to be like the new thing everyone is clamoring for when anything controversial or even a differing of opinions arises. While I vehemently agree that there is no room for hateful, derogatory, inflammatory, crude, racist, sexist, and downright disgusting thoughts, behaviors, comments, and actions, I also believe that not […]

‘No’ is a Complete Sentence

February 2, 2021 Samantha Schell Anxiety, mental health, Positivity happiness, health, help, sanity, self care, self help

The title is something I am constantly invoking, especially when speaking with one of my brothers. He is one of the most kind-hearted and purest souls of a person that I know, and he absolutely hates disappointing people. So much so, in fact, that often times he stretches himself too thin or ends up inundated […]

And in the End, the Love You Take is Equal to the Love You Make

October 20, 2020 Samantha Schell Family, Friendship, love family, friendship, happiness, love, unconditional

Love is the most powerful force in the world, capable of burning down whole cities, destroying empires, igniting wars, facilitating a new era, fostering the growth of a nation, and conquering any demons threatening to dismantle our entities. Nothing like love can be as capable as causing so much pain and hurt, but also instilling […]

Sometimes, You’re the Pigeon-Sometimes, the Statue

I really need sleep. It’s amazing how when our natural circadian rhythm or our REM cycle is off, how much less progressively we function in life. Lo and behold, I can hear someone overtly breathing in my presence with little sleep and I am likely to implode under the bottled anger pent up in my […]

And In The End, The Love You Take Is Equal To The Love You Make

Life can go by incredibly fast, and with each day that passes, I am trying to learn to appreciate the little things a bit more. Quality time spent with family is something I am beginning to treasure and cherish, and rather than becoming frustrated with things like long road trips stuck in the car for […]

Rooting for the Good

June 30, 2020 Samantha Schell Family, Friendship, Laughter, love, Perseverance, Positivity cheer, friendship, good, happiness, positivity

I don’t understand the mindset some people have of wanting to keep others down or rooting for someone else to fail. Personally, I find there is enough sadness and misery in the world without having to go search for it and I would much rather contribute to the beneficial positivity that can always be expanded […]

Green-Eyed Monster

They say that comparison is the thief of all joy, and lately I have been seeing firsthand the reality of that sentiment. No matter how good things can be going for me, I’ll catch a blip of someone else’s social media, and I find myself mourning the lack of something I didn’t even know I […]

And She Lived Happily Ever After

It’s me, your average, everyday, slightly neurotic, rigidly scheduling, face punching, neck strangling, trying the best that she can blogging weirdo. Last week, I postponed writing another blog for no other legitimate reason other than identifying that I was feeling a bit burnt out. I wasn’t necessarily dreading conjuring up a new post, but I […]

We Accept the Love We Think We Deserve

How many of us have people in our lives who treat us less than stellar within our relationships? Platonic, romantic, and familial included. Why? Why do we allow ourselves to be tied to people who are dismissive of our wants and needs in a specific relationship or bond? Whether it is out of comfort or […]

Putting the Dick in Addiction

Demons exist within all of us, that little voice in the back of our heads spewing hateful and negative messages about how lackluster and subpar we are. That we aren’t good enough, life is too hard, we have too many obstacles inhibiting our growth and so on and so forth. Many people drowning under heaps […]
