I once read that 82% of people meet their future spouse before they even turn 16. I tried doing my research on this one to find out where it came from and everything was unconfirmed. This is basically a made up statistic. Yet, it resonated with me and sticks with me to this day -…

Ah yes, the buckets of life. The family bucket. The friends bucket. The alone time bucket. The relationship bucket. The work bucket. The fun free time bucket. They all need to be filled, and when one empties another one inevitably empties as well. And when one is far too full, another is way too empty.…
Last year I changed my job, got a new job, got engaged. It was a lot of change around me, but not necessarily inside me. Since then, I’ve been through a lot of growth periods that have just been a bit overwhelming to me. Sometimes I just feel like my old self is stuffed inside…
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…
I honestly can't stand all of the articles I read that are like "You're in your 20's! Quit your job and open up an ice cream shack in the Bahamas!" or "Don't worry about getting a job - backpack through Europe and find yourself!" Come on, in my early 20s I lived with my parents…

I'm not really a forgive and forget kind of person. More specifically, I have a hard time forgetting. As an overthinker, the things I do and the things other people do to me really stick with me. And if someone hurts me, it stays with me for years and years. I've encountered a certain type…
I can’t decided if WFH is really for me. At the start of the pandemic, I worked from home for 2 months before I was laid off. At my next job, I was in the office full time which wasn’t weird for me because I barely got that WFH experience. But at my new job…
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…
I once read that anxiety tortures you twice, it hits you leading up to the thing you see anxious about and then you have anxiety once that thing actually occurs. Double the anxiety for one thing. I’ve always gotten in my own way on things. I had actually given up on the job I currently…
