I'm not really a "let it go" kind of person. You can pretty much ask anyone I've ever dated, they're probably like why the heck does Rosie still reference me in some of her blog posts when we broke up almost 10 years ago?! Things just stick with me, I wish they didn't. I get…

How Realistic Is Working To Live?
Do you live to work or work to live? I swore to myself that I'd never be the kind of person who lives to work. Who thinks about their job all the time. Who misses out on life because they were too busy working. I struggle with work/life balance and to understand office culture. There…
The Evil Eye
I've taken to wearing an evil eye ring every day for the past couple of months because I've just felt like I needed extra protection. I found the ring in a thrift shop in New Hampshire this summer and it just felt like it was meant to be. I think there's something very special about…
Thinking Big Picture
I think big picture in the way that I can't wait to reach that big picture. I get overly excited about the future, about the things to come, so much so that I don't really live in the present. I think big picture, but I don't think of all the little pieces I need to…
I Wish I Could Care Less
There are a lot of things that happen to me that I can't just let roll of my back. But I wish I could. Some people are so good at that. Things happen, they take it in, and they move on. But not me, I carry it with me forever. I once overheard a coworker…
Visit Your Past, But Don’t Live In It
There are three kinds of people. The people who live in the past, the people who live in the present, and the people who live in the future. I don't think many people live in the present. It's very hard to be completely aware of the moment you're in when you have years of junk…
When Times Are Tough, How Do You Cope?
My friend Bill asked me this questions as part of my nomination for the Liebster Award. When times are tough, how do I cope? I don't, if we're being honest. I'm pretty big on shutting down and ignoring the world when things begin to get too tough. My body even rejects the stress, I normally…
The Body’s Reaction To Stress
Some people can really take stress. Some people really can't. And then there's me who pretends that I can take it and then my body starts falling to pieces because my bad mental health starts to leak into my bad physical health. I can't really see it coming. Like I know that I've been having…
A Month Of Working From Home
How did we get here? Feels like days ago I received an emergency text from my company telling us to work from home. I had to go into the office a few days later just to get my things and my plants because I wasn't really expecting it. And now, over a month later, I…
Summer Bucket List Progress
Summer is my favorite season but it goes by so fast as a working adult. I don't have any kind of summer hours anymore and my time off has been limited since we went to Thailand. I do take advantage of doing a lot of summery type things in September, but this is where I've…
