Stop Feeling Sorry For Yourself
I'm a notorious complainer. I'm never happy with what I have and I always have something negative to say. So basically, I'm super annoying and I know it. But it's something I'm working on. Complaining about a problem doesn't make the problem go away. It only spotlights it and makes it a bigger part of…
An Open Letter To My High School Self
Dear high school me, High school is a scary time. Everyone is going through incredible changes, yourself included. New things are introduced and new interests gain importance.

Succeeding In Today’s Schools
I've resisted school ever since I was young. Waking up early only to sit at a desk for hours a day just didn't make sense to me. I never put in my full effort. Not in middle school, not in high school, and not in college. I paid attention as little as I needed to…
The People Who Build You Up
Sometimes, people just don't get enough credit. We often see the bad before we can ever see the good. Even if we do see the good, one bad thing will change every pretty thought we've had about someone into something ugly. So here's a big thank you to the people who build me up. It's rare…
Dating Someone Who Is Stuck In The Future
There are people who are attached to their past, people who are desperate to live in the present, and people who are always reaching for the future. People and incidents in my past left my life uncertain. I thought I had it all planned out. I knew when I was going to get married, what…
