When I think "blogger" I think of peppy, well dressed women with perfect hair and perfect lives. I think of people who aren't afraid to network, talk on their Instagram stories, and go after what they want. I think of people who love making new friends and being surrounded by constant interaction. Yet, I'm a…
My word for this year is well-being and I chose it because I've been really lacking in taking care of myself. I'm not great at keeping in touch with friends, with doing what's best for my body, or minding my mental health. We're about halfway through the year and I can't say I'm doing a…
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…
We're all perfectionists - there are different degrees - but we all want to be some sort of perfect. We want to look like the girl in the magazine, have a relationship like the one in the movies, excel at our jobs like a millionaire, or be the perfect family member like we see our…

I actually have a hard time fully grasping my introverted personality. Sometimes I can get out of my shell and be extroverted, but then I end up having anxiety over every single thing I said and did in that extroverted instance. Sometimes I think it's just easier to be alone. I'm happy there, I'm safe…

I still find it hard to believe I graduated college 4 years ago, even hard to believe that I started college 8 years ago. I have a hard time reflecting back onto my middle school years and even my high school years, I tucked a lot of those memories away. I don't think I remember…
This is not an "always the bridesmaid, never the bride" type post - but it is, sorta. I'm at that age. You know. The one where all your friends start getting married so you're taking off once a month for a bachelorette party or wedding or bridal shower. I don't even have a lot of…
