Time: Simultaneously Fleeting and Forever

I had recently posted on all Sarah's Inscriptions social media accounts (you can follow them in the top right corner, or find them on my Contact page) that I was recently hired into a second job and would be rather busy - in other words, too busy for regular posts.  But it has been brought to my attention, by my own mind, that the entire concept has sort of just been an excuse. In fact, I knew it was when I posted it. I have free time.  Even working 2 jobs, I have an incredible amount of free time.  You would think I would do something with it, or act grateful for it, or know how to utilize it.  But the truth is, I don't.  It's not that I couldn't actively work to figure it out - to ask friends if they wanted to hang out, to run some errands, schedule some me time, read a book (better yet, write my own), volunteer, exercise, meal prep for said jobs, literally do anything at all. Instead, I come home and I do absolutely nothing.  I watch YouTube videos, or watch TV

Struggling with Religion: Discovering My Own Truth

I have always had a botched relationship with religion.  I was born into a religious family, was baptized, went to church, etc.  But as with the metaphorical derailment of my life after my parents divorce, my religious derailment goes hand-in-hand.

An unfortunate obstacle unfortunately completely derailed m

Problem List: Incidental Findings of My Heart

In October 2018 I went to my primary care doctor for what I thought was just a muscle strain.  But I also mentioned some chest irritation as well, which probed an EKG.  What the first one showed only brought on more questions, but I had never had one before to compare it to, so they took a second one. Both of my EKGs ended up having the exact same irregularities - Right Bundle Branch Block, or RBBB.  RBBB   is a heart  block  in the  right   bundle   branch  of the electrical conduction system.  During a  right bundle branch block , the  right  ventricle is not directly activated by impulses travelling through the  right   bundle   branch .  The left ventricle however, is still normally activated by the left  bundle   branch .  In human terms, or at least the way that I understand it, a RBBB is simply an electrical miscommunication between my heart and brain (or whatever it "talks to"), but does not negatively affect my hearts overall function.
