Life Story

    - I was born during a cold spring in Skopje, Macedonia

    - I skipped the crawling stage and started walking around a year old

    - My first word was grandpa around 15 months

    And that pretty much sums everything up. I've been told I have the personality of somebody born in a cold spring, whatever that means. Macedonia is a ways away, so I'm always missing home. Just like crawling, I tend to miss steps and try to jump the gun. Sometimes it works (I can walk fairly well), sometimes it doesn't. I'm very close with my grandpa, closer with him than my mom. I'm sure this lack of maternal closeness and my grandpa being my main father figure has some causation for why I've turned out the way I am. 

    - Graduating this may; grandparents flying in for it :)

    - Majoring in..........drum roll please.........

                    Psychology! Hoping to go into developmental psychology (wow! our next unit!) because that's what my mom did, and what my grandmother did. And it's not nepotism in the field, I just want to be better than them...

    - I'd like to do some portion of my graduate studies at the University of Chicago

    - Marriage is a maybe, kids are 'kayyyy, eventually

    - I'm not sure where exactly in the career world I want to be, but it'll be something in the psych field and I'll be working in a clinic somewhere that isn't in Texas

    - When I retire I want to be living somewhere happy on land I'll hopefully have the money to buy

    - I don't know when I'll die, but I have the macabre hope that I'll die on my birthday for one of my 70's


Baby me with my grandparents and the creepy bear that sits on the picture frame

On a dark stormy night in Houston, a decision was being made. Would I face the music and drive home, or would my mom, wearing a classy look of disappointment. I'd have been driving for a year at that point, but I still refused to take the reins when it was dark or rainy. And here we were, dark and rainy. Maybe it was the mid-November magic, or the thought of hearing another spiel about having to drive in all sorts of conditions, or maybe some parts in my head finally clicked, but I drove home. 1. I read 42 books in 2022 and had 18 five-star reads. 2. I have a sister eight years younger than me. 3. I have nine piercings. 4. I have a tattoo. 5. I have never read any books considered classics.

 Frontal lobe Norepinephrine In (a) Dark World where everyone was the same, people where too tired and rageful to care. Everyone was aggressive, and nobody used any of that aggression for good. Until.....bam bam bam....somebody came along to beat people into shape. Sometimes they made people so anxious they would never leave their house again. But mostly, Flipside looked at the good aspects of anxiety and personality. She encouraged the people of Dark World to think about what makes them different, and accept that these differences are mostly beneficial. She loaded them up with a versatile idea called Nore. Nore is the concept of being fearful: of an increased heart beat. People were fearful of being fearful until they realized fear is what drives them. They were scared of not having a good day, so they got up and made a nice breakfast. They were scared of having a bad job, so they kept looking for one they found. And the best part was that Nore worked differently with everyon...
