Life often feels like an unpredictable journey, full of twists, turns, and detours. Sometimes, we find ourselves in a place we never anticipated—a place of loneliness, sadness, depression, exhaustion, and confusion. It’s a heavy cocktail of emotions that can cloud our vision, making it hard to see a way forward. If you’re in this place right now, you’re not alone. Let’s explore what it means to feel this way, why it happens, and how we can begin to navigate through it. The Weight of Loneliness Loneliness is more than just being alone. It’s the aching void left by a lack of meaningful connection. You can feel lonely in a crowded room or even surrounded by people who care about you. It’s the sense that no one truly understands you or that you’re invisible in the eyes of the world. Loneliness can creep in when relationships falter, when we isolate ourselves out of fear or exhaustion, or even when we’re stuck in routines that leave little room for connection. In a world that seems more...

Living with multiple sclerosis (MS) is a journey that can test not only the body but also the heart and mind. While much of the focus is on managing physical symptoms, the emotional and relational toll of MS is often overlooked. For many, the challenges of maintaining intimacy and building meaningful relationships can feel like an insurmountable hurdle. MS affects not just mobility or energy levels but also confidence, self-esteem, and even the ability to engage in physical closeness. These struggles, though rarely discussed, are deeply real—and deeply human. Intimacy is a cornerstone of human connection, but MS can complicate it in ways that are hard to articulate. Fatigue, muscle weakness, and nerve damage can make physical closeness challenging. Medications used to manage MS symptoms may have side effects that impact sexual drive or function. Beyond the physical, the emotional toll can be just as significant. Anxiety, depression, or self-doubt often accompany chronic illnesses like...

Lately, I've been feeling a persistent sense of unease. It’s not always easy to talk about, but I think it’s important to acknowledge: I’m scared sometimes. Scared of the direction our world is taking, scared of the growing instability in our political climate, and scared of the shadow of war that looms over our global landscape. These fears are not easy to shake, and some days, they feel overwhelming. The Weight of the World It’s hard not to feel the weight of everything going on. Every time I open the news, there’s a new headline that makes my stomach sink. Political division seems deeper than ever, and the idea of meaningful dialogue feels like a distant memory. Countries are clashing, alliances are shifting, and words like "conflict" and "escalation" dominate the conversation. Even when I try to disconnect, the fear lingers. It seeps into quiet moments, into conversations with friends and family, and into the way I see the world. The uncertainty of what mi...

Jacob Wheat Spalding University Social Welfare Policy - SW-455-D2-S22425 November 17, 2024 Social Welfare Policy Analysis The social welfare policy landscape in the United States has changed significantly, especially for some of the more marginalized communities. To that end, this paper will analyze the intersectionality between LGBTQIA+ rights and social welfare frameworks in relation to the youth population within the foster care system, as illuminated by an issue brief by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) on LGBTQIA+ youth in foster care ( Human Rights Campaign [HRC], 2022 ). Inclusive policies, such as the USAID LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Development Policy, are important in the recognition of needs and rights for the LGBTQIA+ community ( 2023 LGBTQI+ Inclusive Development Policy , 2023 ). It will examine the effectiveness of existing programs and services in view of the challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ youth in foster care and broader social welfare policy implications. Analysis ...

Introduction In recent years, the conversation surrounding LGBTQIA+ rights and inclusion has garnered significant attention, particularly in the context of youth and their experiences in the foster care system. As highlighted by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), LGBTQIA+ youth are often marginalized, facing unique challenges that require our collective support. This blog post will explore the importance of LGBTQIA+ inclusion, the significance of allowing kids to self-identify, and how we can create safe spaces for open conversations. The Importance of LGBTQIA+ Inclusion LGBTQIA+ inclusion is about recognizing and respecting the diverse identities within the community. As noted in the social welfare policy analysis, inclusive policies such as the USAID LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Development Policy are essential for acknowledging the rights and needs of LGBTQIA+ individuals. Here are some key points to consider: Empowerment Through Representation: Representation in media, education, and social se...
