I recently wrote about how I feel like I’m always on the defense and trying to prove myself. Sometimes I do so to such a fault I lose a sense of humility and being grounded. I just get so tired of being doubted or questioned that I no longer believe that I could be wrong…
In my ongoing journey to feel less attached to social media, I put all my social media sites in a new app folder on my phone and hid them from view this past weekend. Because I work in social media, it is really really hard to disconnect after hours. And it’s just been more difficult…
If we were having coffee I’d tell you I got COVID for my 29th birthday 😅 which was not an ideal way to celebrate. I have a lot of thoughts about entering my last year in my 20s, but I am thankful that I’ve never stopped growing for the better over the past 10 years.…
I’ve been writing letters to myself on this blog for a while now. When I was 25, I wrote this letter to my 29 year old self. And here I am again, just days away from turning 29. I love looking back at this because I wasn’t exactly hopeful for turning 29. But I can…
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…

It’s no surprise to anyone that I’m still not trying to travel outside the country, giving me the perfect opportunity to see more of the United States! We did a weekend in Chicago and since my fiancé has been there before, he did the itinerary, here what we did in approximately 48 hours: Things we…
The trouble with people who are over-eager is that we are often over-everything. We are over-thinkers, we are over-dramatic, we over-romanticize, we are overwhelmed. So getting too excited about things just comes with the territory. Because one small possibility opens up so many doors for us. We non stop think about how this could work…
One thing that can become extremely exhausting is always feeling the need to prove yourself. I think I’m a pretty defensive person, I’m a middle child so I feel like I had to hold my ground a lot growing up. Felt like I had to prove myself while sandwiched between 2 older sisters and 1…
