This may be a weird thing to admit, but when I was younger I always had a hard time picturing my future. Like I never thought I'd make it this far. Maybe I'd die young and leave a bittersweet memory, maybe I'd just vanish. But here I am, about to be 29 years old, with…

Finding Yourself Before Getting In A Relationship
I’ve recently learned that you don't need to be alone in order to grow. It was an idea I was obsessed with after my last break up. And in part, it was true. From age 16-20 I was in a relationship that consumed my whole entire world. So after we broke up, I had no…

Growing Up And Apart
I admire people who have known each other for years and years and years and still consider themselves close. Growing together isn’t really an easy thing to do. I’ve learned over the past 6 years of my current relationship, that it’s necessary for a successful relationship. And it’s a great thing! While we all go…
The Weird Milestones Of Life
We always talk about the normal milestones of life. You walk, you talk, you go to school and you graduate. You get a job, get married, have a kid, retire and the end. But no one ever really talks about those weird milestones in life that everyone seems to hit around a certain age that…

I saw a TikTok about a cancer patient who asked if they could still buy green bananas after their diagnosis. Because they weren't sure if they were going to be around for the bananas to ripen. We take every day for granted. Every avocado I buy is rock hard, every day I put off things…
Stop Hating Popular Things
I grew up in this very specific point of the 2000s where one of the worst things you could be called was a "poser." I was deep into the emo aesthetic and refused to like anything considered cool. I didn't wear pink, I didn't like Taylor Swift, I refused to wear yoga pants and leggings…
“Boyfriend” Sounds Weird
As I get older, I'm starting to dislike the term "boyfriend" more and more. Especially when I'm referring to my boyfriend in a professional setting, it just sounds so juvenile to me. Because in reality, my boyfriend is much more and much different than a boyfriend you'd have as a teenager. We live together, we…
Living Long Enough To Become The Villain
“You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” I think we’ve all heard this quote. And while it may not be true for every individual, I think it can find its place in many facets of life. I have a lot of places that have felt like home…
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…
