"Just because you're not sick, doesn't mean you're healthy."

Hey! I'm Mia. I'm a poor, clueless, college student who loves food...and other things.  I had a time in my life where I was eating, literally every waking moment of my life because of personal struggles and my mental state at the time.
I struggle with a really terrible memory and I find that I often attach memories to the food that I eat. So, I blog and video log because I want to remember even the simple moments in my life, and the things I thought and the things I did. Because forgetting makes it feel like it never happened. But it did, and it's a part of me.

Winnicott defined feeling real as “more than existing; it is finding a way to exist as oneself…and to have a self into which to retreat for relaxation.” Aligning yourself with reality is beyond external stimuli, but “a sensation that spreads, making one want to live.”

I’m guilty of clinging to self-proclaimed identities and subsequently feeling fraudulent and lost. Somewhere in the 9th hour of a Netflix binge and my second bag of shrimp crackers, I had some sort of mental break and decided to engage in my own life. 

In a time of transition and disconnection, I wanted to do my best to feel cement my current emotions in an attempt to experience a distinct sense of self beyond TV tropes. If not, I hope to, at the very least, look back upon this time and its experiences as fondly as possible. 

Please bear with me 🐻
