In March 2020 I was 26 years old living in New Hampshire, only had one dog, and a completely different job. Now I’m 28 (almost 29) back in New Jersey with 2 dogs, engaged, and 2 jobs past that job in 2020. I don’t think I’ll stop talking about COVID any time soon. It has…
When Will We Stop Talking About COVID?
My Social Battery Is Drained
Nothing like a good ol pandemic to make you change part of your personality, right? I’ve always been introverted, but in the last 2 years I’ve basically lost all social skills. DoorDash means I don’t have to order food in person or even meet up with a delivery driver. Working from home meant meeting all…
Defining Success
The longer I work in a corporate field, the more I realize that I define success much differently than some of the people around me. I've always known that I view life a little differently than most people. Growing up, my parents were sticklers for good grades, for me going to college, and for me…
If We Were Having Coffee – March
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I feel like I blinked and winter is over. We only had one major snow where I live in NJ, definitely a big change from New England winters (which I still think about, a lot). Why do you think about New England so much? Living in…
March In Photos
You’re welcome for sparing you the 5000 dog photos I have on my camera roll, here’s my March in photos!
The Time Has Arrived
For years I’ve thought to myself, I wonder when I’ll get burnt out on social media. I work in social, this blog and social are a passion project, and then I also maintain it for family and friends. It’s a lot, I’ve had over 20 accounts linked to my phone at one time. I didn’t…
Forgetting How To Be Vulnerable
It happens to the best of us, we put up a wall and we have no idea how to knock it down. Someone along the way hurt you enough or broke your heart enough for you to start building brick by brick. An indestructible shield around yourself so that no one could get through like…
To Those Who Self Sabotage
In most cases, you are your own worst enemy. Someone who self sabotages knows what they want and have all the means to get it. For instance, they are on their way into a great relationship and actively do something so that relationship never begins. Usually they do this because something in their past is…
You Can’t Have It Both Ways
I'm not really a forgive and forget kind of person. More specifically, I have a hard time forgetting. As an overthinker, the things I do and the things other people do to me really stick with me. And if someone hurts me, it stays with me for years and years. I've encountered a certain type…
Am I The Work From Home Type?
I can’t decided if WFH is really for me. At the start of the pandemic, I worked from home for 2 months before I was laid off. At my next job, I was in the office full time which wasn’t weird for me because I barely got that WFH experience. But at my new job…
