My First Blog Entry

So, I've never been a blogger. As a matter-of-fact, I was always quite against it. I always wondered why people whose lives bore even themselves would ever think someone else would want to read about it. Further, I thought the question, "What in the world is Tyson up to?" is about as important to society as "Are we consuming too much garlic as a people?"

But then, it occurred to me (while I should have actually been working on my 50+ page case study for school), that I post things on Facebook quite a bit, and I seem to have a decent following therein. In addition, there is enough drama on Facebook. I don't want to be "that guy." But, I always appreciate the insight my friends and family give. And, it seems to be easier to seek when I can type it up all in one place. I don't have to call or e-mail everyone one-by-one.

2013 has been quite a year of ups-and-downs. It has also been a year of quite a few firsts. So, I will add to that list, my first blog. My first entry, and my first time actually giving into the world of blogging. Will this make me a "blogger?" Probably not. But who knows. I may really like it. To be honest, I probably won't post regularly, or, like with everything else, I will post a lot for a while, then not so much (or at all).

It has been a time of great introspect, as of late. I think it will be good for me at least, to put my thoughts down. Hopefully, it will be good for others as well. I hope I will at least have some regular readers. Maybe some of the things on here will even help others. I've always wanted to make a mark on the world for the better. And maybe this will be one step towards doing that.

Mentally ill or simply just mean?

DISCLAIMER: This content may be offensive to some. Some readers may feel singled out or called out. This is not my intention, but rather my intention is the same as it has always been with this, my own personal blog. I share my thoughts based on my own experience - perception is everything. You may perceive things differently. That is what makes us all unique and makes the world a special, albeit sometimes difficult place to live. If you are reading this and think I am specifically talking about you, maybe I am. Or maybe I am speaking from an amalgamation of you and many other people I've met throughout my life. This is not exactly a fun one to write, but these are some things that are on my mind that 1) I feel need to be said and 2) may help others as it helps me simply by "getting it off my chest." I don't take to accusations or bullying. But I do sometimes tell it like it is. And, admittedly, I could easily be writing about myself as well. Please don't send me ...

The World Needs More Kindness

First of all, I noticed that once again, it has been over a year since I last wrote. Where the hell does the time go? It is 2020, so I'll tell you where it went - right down the crapper! I don't know why I am so inconsistent with writing in my blog. I mean, I know I'm super busy, but writing in my blog is so therapeutic to me; one would think I'd make it more of a priority, especially when I'm just barely keeping it together and thus, need all the therapy I can get. I did discover that I started a post back in April about being in this together, but obviously, that never came to fruition. Perhaps I will come back to it someday. Nonetheless, here I am with another ramble. A few years ago, at work, my boss said something interesting to me. She said "Tyson, your niceness is rubbing off on me! A few months ago, I would've fired [this person] on the spot without thinking twice about it. Now, I want to give him another chance." While, on the surface, she mea...

The Realism of Depression

Sometimes in life, when we fail to understand something, we fail to "believe" it is real. Take for example depression. I have suffered with chronic depression since high school, and unfortunately, after the drama of high school is over, the depression doesn't necessarily get any better. When I would have down times, and even now sometimes when I do, people would tell me to just look at everything I have to be happy for and quit focusing on the negative. But, unfortunately, it isn't that simple. That's like telling someone who is sick with a cold to just quit focusing on the illness and be happy and healthy. People who would often have the best of intentions would say things like "it's all in your head." Well, that may or may not be true, but either way that wouldn't make it any less real or less painful. Mental illness is just as real and can be just as hard to deal with and physical illness. Sometimes it's hard to recognize something you ...
