It’s no secret that I’ve been hesitant when it comes to relationships. After getting hurt by my first big love, I was really unsure how to move forward. When you think someone is “the one” and they turn out to totally be the worst - you start to question your judgment for a little. So…

Why We Settle And Why I Get It
Relationships are a fragile thing. One string becomes frayed, it gets snagged, and the whole thing unravels into your hands. You never saw it coming. Basically since the start of this blog, I've expressed my fears on settling. Especially settling for someone you don't really love. Settling for less than fireworks, all in romance, and…
One Year Engaged
If you’re familiar with our engagement story you’ll know there was no big proposal, it wasn’t a surprise, and we’ve kept it pretty low key. Mostly because I don’t like to put a lot of pressure on myself, to be the center of attention, and I just wanted getting engaged to be a decision we…

Our Engagement Story
I’m 28 years old and all of my social media feeds are filled with engagements, weddings, and babies. I’ve attended more weddings in the past year than I have in my whole life. And now I’m joining the ranks. If you’ve been a long-time blog reader, you’ll know that I have had strong doubts about…
How Break Ups Can Become New Beginnings
Break ups can be different depending on what stage of your life you're in. When you're in high school, break ups are over-dramatized and earth shattering. In college, they're the thing that turns you towards things you might have not done without a broken heart. After college, they make you evaluate your life. Because when…
