No One Owes You Anything
Some people deserve the world and some people just don't. Some people get what they want easily, some work hard for it, and some don't get anything at all. We all know that life isn't fair. We live it, breathe it, see it, and participate in it. So why do we constantly think we are…
How I Got Into Embroidery
In an effort to find a new hobby where I could be create, I sought out a few options. One of which is crocheting and knitting which I’m not wild about, and the other was embroidery. I was inspired after seeing a video of a girl who found a half-completed embroidery project while thrifting and…
Before You Get A Dog For Christmas
My dog Kaya is the light of my life, she is the single reason I’m happy on my really bad days and I’m so happy we adopted her over 3 years ago. At the time, I told everyone and anyone to get a dog. But I wouldn’t say it now. Before you get a dog…
My Only Constant
Life changes, sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly, but it never stays the same. People come and go, you enter new phases of life, and sometimes it's just hard to keep up with the world spinning.

I doubt myself every day. I pretty much don’t feel like I deserve everything I have. Like if I have something good, I probably tricked someone to get it. I feel that way in relationships, in academics, and in the workforce. And I’ve been this way for a long time. I think it stems in…
What Have You Learned Recently?
While job interviewing is grueling, it is cool to see how interview styles differ from person to person, from company to company. One of the best questions I was asked was: what have you learned recently? It’s a good question because it’s basically asking if you’re evolving, growing, bettering yourself all on your own volition.…
Stepping Back And Looking At The Positives
I think the last week aged me 20 years. Not only was it the busiest week at work that I will probably see all year, but I spent so much time glued to my phone refreshing for election results. And the news of Alex Trebek passing away was so upsetting. 2020 has just been such…
