The trouble with people who are over-eager is that we are often over-everything. We are over-thinkers, we are over-dramatic, we over-romanticize, we are overwhelmed.

Why We Forget To Take Care Of Ourselves
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,…
Making Time For Your Friends In Your 20’s
When I graduated college, my friends and I all cried over the fact that life would be so different without us living just a hallway away from each other. But I don't think I realized how different it would really be. We all have jobs and relationships. Some people have houses and dogs. Some of…

Forgetting Not Forgiving
The phrase goes: forgive and forget. Stop feeling the resent you feel towards someone and put it in the back of your mind. That person's mistake that caused you anger or hurt is gone forever and you move on with your life. I've never really been one to forgive because a lot of people ask…
The Internet Is Making Us Lonely
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…

Introverts Unite
As an introvert, I have come to face the facts that I am really not meant to be as alone as my mind is telling me I need to be. I do need a lot of recharging after social situations, like a typical introvert, but just as a human I need those social situations. Because…
I Want To Be Alone But I Don’t Want To Be Alone

You Could Have Met Your Future Spouse Before You Even Turned 16
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 -…

Resisting Happiness
We all have bad habits or patterns when it comes to family, relationships, or friendships. For some it may be coming on strong too quickly, or being too selfish, or being too distant. For me, it's the constant need to resist happiness. I think it goes along the lines of imposter syndrome. I had really…
