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,…

My 10 Year Plan
My life in its current form is fine. But there are SO many things about it that I really don’t find sustainable. I’m almost 30 and I’ve learned so much about myself and what I want. But it’s really hard to put those things into action, because of all the real world things that get…
Undercover Escapism
If you’ve read any of my recent blogs you’ll know that in 2022, I’ve gotten back into reading. I was always the kid that reads, I feel like it was my only personality trait for a while. I used to blow through books, but I feel like school actually took my love of reading away.…
A Perspective Reset
Anyone else deep in the winter blues? https://twitter.com/rosieculture/status/1619095197316698112?s=46&t=zbs0ntKEormA1bm39IMsHA There’s nothing worse to me than a winter without one really good snow where you can go out and build a snowman. My dog loves it, I love it, and global warming has taken it away from us!! Besides that, I’ve just all around have had a…
Things You Only Need To Do Once
There are some things you only need to do once. I went to a drive thru holiday lights display a few years ago, no desire to do something like that again. Nashville is a place I’ve only ever felt the need to go to once. An 8 hour hike through New Hampshire mountains was certainly…
I’m Terrified Of Getting Old
This may be a weird thing to admit, but when I was younger I always had a hard time picturing my future. Like I never thought I'd make it this far. Maybe I'd die young and leave a bittersweet memory, maybe I'd just vanish. But here I am, about to be 29 years old, with…
Goodreads Goal
I was a reader as a kid. And then all through adulthood I swore up and down I was a reader, but only read like 2 books a year. In the beginning of the year, I read 2 books that absolutely reignited my love of reading and they are Verity by Colleen Hoover and A…
The Internet Is Making Us Lonely
Likes, favorites, retweets, comments, and all those weird emotion things Facebook just added. We live for instant gratification. It's not because we're selfish, it's because of the Internet. It's because we not only have to look great in person but we also have to look great online. There is more than one impression to make…
2022 Word Of The Year Recap
Well, we’ve made it through another year. And at the beginning of the year I set my word of the year as: growth. The past few years I feel like I’ve been letting outside factors dictate a lot of what I was doing. I was going with the flow, not really pushing myself. And actually…
Chronically Online
My grandparents are in their 90s and they’ve never used the internet or a smartphone. They just simply chose not to, even though they’ve had the past like 20 years to do so. It must have been so peaceful to live in a time without the internet or even the amount of news we see…
