Bad habits
Comfort in Reading
Growing up, the thought of reading bored me. My two older sisters would have their nose in a book while I tried to entertain myself. The idea of reading even a 25 page book made my stomach churn. Then, I discovered Harry Potter, I watched the first movie when I was about 9 years old. Afterwards both my sisters agreed that the book was far better. I could not believe this until I picked up the book and read it in a week for me that was a very short time period. I was hooked I found myself reading the next, the next until I was looking for more to read.

Junk
He leaned over the side of the bed, pulling on his right shoe before silently placing it on the tiled floor. It was two in the morning, the moon high in the night sky, the only light in the darkness of the room; though dim, he could see everything. It had been two days since he’d slept, a mix of pills, coke, and ecstasy keeping awake. He pulled on the same pair of pants he’d worn for days, smelling his work shirts for the cleanest before opening the top drawer of his dresser where the drugs he so desperately craved were; two guns he’d bought in the hood rested beside them, almost like trophies to him.

Have You Not Seen a Dentist in Years?
We’ve heard it constantly since we were children: always visit your dentist at least twice a year. But some people don’t have appointments that often – and in some cases, they aren’t having dental checkups at all. Are you one of over 100 million Americans who have been skipping their dental visits? If so, we want you to know that you have nothing to be ashamed of – and that it’s not too late to start giving your smile the care it deserves.

What does it mean to Suffer in Silence?
To suffer in silence. Recent events in my life have caused great stress and frustration. At times it feels like my entire world is crashing down around me and that I am spiraling out of control. But why can't I just say these things? Why do I sit here in silence and carry an insurmountable weight? I wish I had the answers to these questions. While I certainly don't know how to push past this roadblock to emotional freedom, I can however do my best to explain how one might feel: suffering in silence.

You deserve more in life because you are beautiful, agree?
This statement irks me, I don’t particularly appreciate being told what to do, and then this statement goes even more profound to questioning the choices I have made in my life, usually from outside and someone who only catches glimpses.

Addiction
When you think of addiction you probably think of drug addicts, alcoholics, or maybe even shopaholics. We've all heard of chocoholics, and people with gambling addictions. There have even been people accused of being addicted to phones and technology. But what about the less common addictions, the things that may seem slightly abnormal or simply like a random obsession? Some say addiction is a disease; I say it's a normal part of life. Everyone has an addiction, just not everyone realizes it or is willing to admit to it.
