I’m a Christian with Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

I’m a Christian, but when I was nine I had my first panic attack. I cried myself to sleep because I was afraid of change. Because the idea of dying scared me. Because heaven sounded boring, and eternity sounded terrifying. When I was thirteen, I was terrified of throwing up. The terror would give me … Continue reading I’m a Christian with Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

Friendship Breakups: The Thing (Almost) Everyone Goes Through But (Almost) No One Talks About

Like the pain of a breakup, friendship splits can have lasting effects—on your self-esteem, ability to trust people, and feeling of identity. They can leave you second-guessing yourself, wondering if you were the problem all along, or getting bitter about how the situation went down.

It is that time of year once again. The time of year when I recover my WordPress password to Offer Unsolicited Opinions on Things You Don’t Care About. Unless you do (thanks, SEO!) In which case, welcome to Auds Yells About Music (Again). No Shaq. I don’t think I will. Everyone’s talking about music at … Continue reading Year of the Bear: A Review of Bear McCreary’s Smorgasbord of 2022 Albums

I Just Really Like Movie Sountracks, Okay??

Never talk to me or my son (the Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Soundtrack by Howard Shore) ever again. When I was growing up, my parents never acquiesced to playing children’s music in the car. I mean, my brother and I got to choose from time to time what played, but it was rarely … Continue reading I Just Really Like Movie Sountracks, Okay??
