It was Christmas 2015. I was working at two restaurants in town and played mandolin in a band that played every Wednesday at one of the restaurants, and some other places around town. We were set to have a Christmas Happening one Wednesday night, and I invited all my coworkers and family/friends to come. We were real excited about it! Come that Wednesday night, in the middle of our break in the show, the band leader made an announcement. He brought me to the stage and presenting me with a brand new fender Robert Schmidt edition acoustic-electric mandolin. I was speechless. Come to find out: my good friend, the bartender at the restaurant who had helped me land the job and spot in the band, had initiated this scheme. He rounded up coworkers from both restaurants, my family, best friends, and even my girlfriend at the time to help get me this mandolin. It was such a surreal evening.

From what I can remember, the best gift I received was this sling purse I got for last Christmas. It was one I had my eye on for awhile and I told my mom out of the colors they had there were 3 specific ones I would be okay with wanting. When I opened the gift up it was a completely different color than I asked for but I ended up loving it and expressed that to her, to which she laughed and said she knew it was perfect for me. Love the bag but that little memory is touching to me since it was just another reminder of how well my mom knows me.

What's the silliest OCD obsession you've had?
I think it's important to be able to make fun of yourself and joke about these things, so, just for fun, what's the silliness obsession you've had? Here's mine: when I was six I convinced myself that my overdue library books would create a butterfly effect that would end the world

what’s 1 thing you’re looking forward to this week
i tend to struggle with work stress and my OCD symptoms really surround work. it’s also hard to relax and look forward to fun things while knowing i have work throughout the week. i thought this might be a good way to learn more about what others look forward to in a week while also being stressed or experiencing symptoms🙏🏼✨

bad memories
do y’all ever look back at memories from your camera roll and come across the time in your life when things were really bad? because when i do, i just feel so sad for the mental state i was drowning in. not that i’m not still, but i have more perspective on it so i’m able to manage it more. but a couple years ago, i rarely left my bed because of how depressed i had gotten. what’s worse is during that time, i had wished that i wanted to unalive myself. but there was never a point when i did want to so it made me upset because i had no way out if i couldn’t handle it anymore. however, i think that’s a blessing in disguise because i was thankfully able to get out of that dark period. i’m still experiencing terrible anxiety, but because i have those times to reflect on and remember i made it through, it’s motivating.
