I haven't been able to get myself to the gym more than once a week lately and I always feel guilty about it. But there are times when you want to go to the gym and you're too lazy and then there are times you just don't want to go. And I just don't feel…
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…
The longer I work in a corporate field, the more I realize that I define success much differently than some of the people around me. I've always known that I view life a little differently than most people. Growing up, my parents were sticklers for good grades, for me going to college, and for me…
