My first serious relationship was 4 years long and when I say serious, I took it very seriously. I pictured marriage and kids. Planned where we'd live, where I'd go to college, and how our lives would be. At that point in my life, I would frequently say "why bother being in a relationship with…
If you eliminated all the people in your life asking you questions, pressuring you, and telling you what to do - where would you be? At one point in your life, you're going to have to fake it until you make it. That point in your life might just be now, in your 20's, when…

If you read my word for 2020, you'll know I've decided to assign the word "acceptance" to this year. It's something I've been think about a lot lately, I even wrote about it a little bit in my resisting happiness post. If there's one thing I could wish for myself, it would be the ability…

I'm an overthinker which sometimes leads to me being stuck in this rut of confusion because I can't comprehend life. I can't comprehend death. I just don't get it. As yesterday was 9/11, I read this article. And watched a video that included a lot of audio from the day. The correspondence from plane to airports,…
