Diary of a Flopping Fish
Diary of A Flopping Fish is written, researched, and managed by me – Rin Lamy. Sometimes there is a third party editor to catch the mistakes I miss and things that are not working in the articles, but they have not agreed to let me give them official credit (even though they greatly deserve it).
This blog exists to explore lessons I’ve learned while navigating trauma, identity, relationships, and personal development. I write about what I’ve researched, wrestled with, and lived through in the hope that others who are walking a similar path might feel a little less alone, and maybe find something helpful along the way.
Though I’ve studied psychology and sociology, I’m not a licensed professional, and I don’t pretend to be. This blog is not a substitute for therapy or medical advice. I fully support seeking help from trained professionals and encourage anyone in distress to do just that. I’m a survivor who believes in therapy, community, and finding meaning even in chaos.
This page is dedicated to all of the people who have stood by me as I stumbled in an attempt to understand myself. However, a mistake is only a failure if we don’t learn from it. In that light, here’s to all the hopeless fools who were following their dreams before they had any idea what they were. And to all those people who stand by those hopeless fools hanging onto the notion that one day maybe they’ll figure it out.
