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…
I once read that 82% of people meet their future spouse before they even turn 16. I tried doing my research on this one to find out where it came from and everything was unconfirmed. This is basically a made up statistic. Yet, it resonated with me and sticks with me to this day -…

In January I designated my word of the year as growth. I chose this word because I finally felt like I was in a position to put down roots and expand on myself. We’re over halfway through the year and I only feel like I’ve grown in one aspect of my life. Most of my…
Ah yes, the buckets of life. The family bucket. The friends bucket. The alone time bucket. The relationship bucket. The work bucket. The fun free time bucket.

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…
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…
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…
Do you live to work or work to live? I swore to myself that I'd never be the kind of person who lives to work. Who thinks about their job all the time. Who misses out on life because they were too busy working. I struggle with work/life balance and to understand office culture. There…
