About The Unsanity

I started this blog about fifteen years ago, with no plan other than to document my life as it unfolded. It was simple at first. A place to talk about my everyday experiences, the way I moved through the world, and the emotions that came with it.

By 2019, things began to evolve. I started leaning into design, sharing more openly on Instagram and Twitter, and creating visual content through Canva that reflected both my personality and purpose. That shift led to freelance Virtual Assistant work online, and I began putting myself and my skills out there more intentionally.
Since 2018, I’ve also been featuring guest bloggers, curating stories across a wide range of topics — though most fall under a larger, meaningful umbrella. Mental health. Anxiety. Depression. Stress. The daily emotional weight we all carry in one form or another.

That passion for mental health storytelling came from a contract position I once held with the U.S. Department of Defense, where I wrote social media content for military families and children navigating behavioral and emotional health challenges. It was powerful work, and it left a mark on me. It’s what inspired me to continue sharing those kinds of stories here, offering space for others to speak their truth and be heard.
But the blog is not only about heavy things. You’ll also find personal updates, creative projects, photography experiments, baking adventures, and whatever else I’m crafting at the moment. It’s a reflection of a full and messy life, not just the hard parts.

A little backstory on how I came up with my name for the blog: It’s just some lyrics to a song from when I was 16 years old that I heard… and it’s stuck with me ever since because it can be looked at in so many different ways and to what you’re trying to relate the quote to.

Song: Demention

Artist: Hallucinogen/Simon Posford

Song Writers: Ben Folds / Benjamin Scott Folds

There is an area of the mind that could be called unsane beyond sanity, and yet not insane. Think of a circle with a fine split in it. At one end there’s insanity. You go around the circle to sanity, and on the other end of the circle, close to insanity, but not insanity, is unsanity.
