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…

In March 2020 I was 26 years old living in New Hampshire, only had one dog, and a completely different job. Now I’m 28 (almost 29) back in New Jersey with 2 dogs, engaged, and 2 jobs past that job in 2020. I don’t think I’ll stop talking about COVID any time soon. It has…
