The Unsanity Blog

About The Unsanity

Hello, and welcome! In case you were wondering, this is my face and below is my story of The Unsanity Blog and beyond. Happy reading, friends!

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.

    Honestly, I do believe I am a good person, and I’m glad someone else who doesn’t know me at all personally can see that. That makes me really feel great, especially since my entire past year has just crumbled before me.
    I’d take any suggestions of games really. I like trying new things but I’m more of a puzzle gamer like Portal and things like that. I’m trying to find distractions from life daily. I shouldn’t, but I do.
    I enjoy that idea though for a day to day autobiography, that sounds interesting. I tend to write lyrics with what pertains to my mood at the time, as you can probably see lol.
    My chins up, but I’m not so sure I will be smiling constantly just yet.
    It’ll get there after time I’m sure.

    Glad I could help somehow, I greatly enjoy when I can help someone or bring a smile to their face. Honestly there’s no absolute need to change up your current style or topics what so ever. When I have written in my notebook I tend to write whatever is on my mind, whether it’s a lyric I like, a topic on my mind, feelings I’m going through, or a little poem/song idea. Your style is enjoyable cause we get to peek into your inner self to a degree and see how a person continues their life despite whatever issues may face them. Also I don’t perceive I don’t your entries as babbling really. Maybe try to view it as a day-by-day basis autobiography?
    Though if you’re looking for new games to provide entertainment or distractions I could perhaps give a few suggestion. I’m a big time gamer myself and I branch myself over almost all the genres out there. Least I can do for someone letting us peer into their life.
    Also no need to thank me what so ever, it’s a pleasure. From what I’ve read you seem like a good person who has issues I can greatly relate to. In fact I should thank you for putting so much of yourself out there for us to read. It’s helpful for a person who struggles with their own demons to see what another person is going through despite theirs.
    All I can say now is try to keep a chin up and smile on

    I’m not really sure who you are but, THANK YOU. This really made my day and quite possibly week after having such a hard week last week. I write a lot about me, and I’m trying to change it up a little bit, but it’s tough when you’re used to one thing.
    I appreciate what you’ve written, and I’ll continue to write just like I have. I wish I had more time to write, to be honest, but sometimes I feel like I’d be babbling more or less, and I hate when I do that. (Kind of like I am right now…)
    There is a bit of me left in this blog, but I want it to show more, and that is something I’m working on.
    Thank you for the heads up in CS, I appreciate that definitely. I’m not too into games like that, but I figure I’ll try something new once in awhile.
    Have a great evening and Thank you again.

    So I’ve sat here trying to think on what to write, especially since I can’t recall how I found this wonderful blog anymore, but it’s a bit hard for me to.
    I can say it’s pleasant to see a person who’s gone through their own struggles and demons still keep their head on them. I can say I know what it’s like to lose love and have trust issues, it’s a hard struggle to get over those things and I still struggle with the first one severely. In fact I myself have become decently jaded because of those things, but I digress. Your blog is a small shimmer that, despite all this chaos and insanity around us, we still can maintain a bit of ourselves.
    Oh and wanted to say something about Counter Strike. Try out one of the various mod servers for it, possibly Warcraft or Zombies, both of those make the game immensely entertaining.
    So for now I’m going to pop off with a little lyric quote of my own for you. Hope you continue writing this
    “You can see we’re alive
    You didn’t think we’d survive
    From the hills and the ground
    We’ve risen from the sound
    Through the flames, Purified”
