I’ve never really felt like I fit in. Being quite an introvert and a homebody, I’ve felt myself try to change on many occasions to please other people and to just be accepted. I’ve tried to be the girl that was too cool for school. The girl that only kept a few friends, hated all…
My word for 2020 is acceptance - and boy, have I really had to put that to use. I like to think back to my word every once in a while and reflect on how I've been doing. I've had to accept a lot this year. I think we can all agree that 2020 pretty…
It's officially been two months since I was last employed. It's not the worst thing, I've been enjoying my free time especially as we prepare to move back to NJ. I can tell this break was a much-needed one, I've been sleeping better and just generally happier than I was when I was working.I've had…

My first ever relationship was built on uncertainty. It was just like the movies, where there would be some sort of conflict and unrequited love. It was exciting, it made me think that all love needs to be that way. That we need to overcome some kind of problem in order to truly appreciate each…
