Ahh, comedy. My favorite form of escapism, right up there next to writing, reading, and binging television shows (and these things aren’t mutually exclusive). When the going gets tough, humor is where I first turn. The most recent awkward incident of this happening was when I was (unfortunately) diagnosed with a UTI. I was entirely…
Hey There!
Thanks for visiting! Welcome to my blog! My name is Victoria, but my nickname is Tori! I plan on writing about my journey with Cystic Fibrosis (past and ongoing!) Occasionally, I will make posts about art and video games. Both of these hobbies helped me through my hardest times, chronic illness and otherwise. I’m an…
Graduation (with a side of fear)
I graduate in five days. It’s absolutely terrifying, yet… exciting! All my relatives are flying in soon, and I honestly still can’t wrap my head around the fact that I’m actually graduating from high school. I still say that I’m 17 every time someone asks! I’m 18, dang it! … Writing this out, I’m also…
Six Flags Thrills!
Do you love rollercoasters? ‘Cause gosh do I ever! Screaming at the top of your lungs when the coaster plummets downwards is one of the best feelings. I find this funny, as I hadn’t even experienced the feeling until just last week. Last week on Friday, my mum, dad, and I took a little road…
Adulting is Hard: You’re Doing Great
You made it! You lived through Tax Day! I’m proud of you. As soon as you realize that the idea that “everyone knows what they’re doing” is a hugely widespread myth, you’re really growin’ up. Them’s the breaks! Well, sorta. I turned 18 last month on this day and I still can’t believe it. The…
I Love: Hollow Knight
Welcome to the start of the “I Love” series. I’ll be reviewing some of my favorite video games, especially those that got me through particularly hard times. Without further ado, let’s get into the first game I’m featuring! Video games have gotten me through some hard times; Stardew Valley, Subnautica, the Legend of Zelda series,…
How it Feels Being Cured
You know, I always imagined being cured feeling more… momentous, than I felt when it happened. Yes, it felt like the best day of my life; yes, I couldn’t believe reading that my sweat test came back negative for CF; yes, my family and I celebrated the whole day. I’d never been so happy to…
In Loving Memory
This post is made to commemorate Claire Wineland and her inspirational life. Thank you for all you’ve done girl, and breathe easy. Hospital rooms are so boring, aren’t they? When you’re having an extra long hospital stay, those blank white walls can really start annoying you. Nothing could be more boring when you’re already bored…
