"My My, Hey, Hey."

Writing is easy, surviving is easy, living is not.

"My My, Hey, Hey."
Melissa Joy

Ah, welcome. You have made it to my page, basically your little therapy sessions where you can delve into articles discussing almost anything you can name.

I have a knack for writing, it comes easy to me, it is my natural skill. Give me a paper and a pen, ask for some advice- I will give it to you. But when I need it, I find myself speechless. I can't find the words or skills I need when I am dealing with something, and if I could tell you how hard it is being there for everyone, and feeling alone as ever, all at the same time, I would never be able to explain it.

Social media is deceiving, the same with blogs/and/or videos people make. We can perceive it as though we have it all together. We can make you feel like we are confident, we can act like we have the rest planned out, but little do you know, I am still searching for the determination to get through the day. I am still wondering what next week will hold for me. My map is not finished, so I will only start with the small paths first.

This is my weak post, the post where I do not have any or even a little advice to give to anyone today. The post where you just let yourself feel, the one where you can forget about everything else and just work on yourself and the emotions. Life is full of waves, never stops. I truly hope one day I will come to my seashore; but until then, I am going to keep going. My map includes many oceans I still need to swim, and many bridges I still need to walk across.

I need your support, I need my readers to understand they are not alone, but most of all, I need to love myself again, the same way I love others.

The worst thing I ever did in this life was fade away from myself.

"It's better to burn out, than to fade away."

With all of my love to all of you, Mel.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
