Writing Presents: PUBLISHED

I published my first online article for an actual publication today!

I wrote a short piece about interacting with someone that's schizophrenic.

You can find it here.

My friend, Ben, shared it and commented that it was one of the "strongest, bravest things" he's ever seen a student do.

I don't really feel brave publishing this. I feel very much afraid. This is kind of a coming out for me, about my mental illness. Not many people know that I am schizoaffective, and now I've told a part of the internet that people are actually going to see.

Perhaps in facing my fear of judgment and ridicule, I'm a little bit brave after all?
