The term workism is used when a person bases their identity and life purpose around work. Some people see it as a replacement for religion - the belief that work can provide you with things like community and meaning. I’ve fallen into the trap of workism for reasons I understand, and for reasons I don’t.…
My favorite thing about being adult is doing all the things I didn’t get to do as a kid. I can buy the things I want, get piercings and tattoos, dye my hair pink, spend as much as I want at the carnival, go to different fun events, stay up late watching movies. More recently,…
Once upon a time I got dumped and just did not know how to deal. I felt like I had failed the relationship, my boyfriend, myself. I thought I didn't really deserve to fall in love again - like I had missed my chance. And time and time again I was thrown into dating scenarios where…
Something I’ve really improved on in the last few years is giving people some grace. And it’s mostly because I want people to give me grace. We all go through life differently. Some of us face challenges early on, some face them later in life. And all of our challenges, and how they affect us,…

If you’ve been here for a while, doubting my career will be nothing new to you. I’ve been out of college for almost 9 years and have been working since then. I chose my career path because it was what came easiest to me. I’m sure most people choose their career similarly. And while there…
It’s no secret that I’ve been hesitant when it comes to relationships. After getting hurt by my first big love, I was really unsure how to move forward. When you think someone is “the one” and they turn out to totally be the worst - you start to question your judgment for a little. So…
If we were having coffee this month I’d tell you I’m on a rampage of trying every hobby out there. I find working with my hands and being creative very fulfilling right now so I’ve been playing around with air dry clay, crocheting, painting, and just crafting my life away. It made it hard for…
