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…

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…

Making The First Move
Guys deserve a lot of credit for making the first move. It's just what is expected in society, that guys will approach a girl first. They'll ask for their number and have to make the phone call. They ask her to dance or out on a date. It's mostly all up to the guy to…
