The Trouble With Matters of the Mind
I think some people struggle with the idea and reality of mental health, mental illness, psychology, mindset and whatever else because the mind is so complex.

Why Rewatching “Community” Was What I Needed Right Now
Over the last few weeks, I've rewatched the comedy show Community which is set in a community college. Seven misfits are brought together in their studies and the show explores their mental health, life choices, identity, relationships, flaws, and futures while on whimsical, ridiculous college-based adventures.
