We often stop and think to ourselves about how stressed out we are. How tired we are. How we could just use a day off. But we never really stop and think that we need all of those things because we've stopped taking care of ourselves. We just think that it's been a busy week,…

The Struggle Of Being Sentimental
I've never had a good memory and I've never had a huge attachment to places. But if I have a token of a place or a photo of a time, then I'm able to remember the event more clearly. I collect things from important people and places I go and I've become very sentimental. I…
I’m Obsessed With Change
A lot of people are scared of changing. They are scared of the unknown and they are scared of their loved ones changing. Because when people change, you don't always change with them. But I actually love change. For four years of my life I was the same person, dating the same guy. I went…

In September of 2018, we spent a weekend in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and loved it. In December of 2018, we were preparing to move to New Hampshire. And now it's been a year here. I can very honestly say when we first moved a lot of panic set in. My boyfriend didn't…
Can You Date Someone With The Same Name As Your Ex?
