As my 24th birthday approaches, my thoughts weigh more heavily on my life. Am I where I should be in my 20’s, is this what I’m supposed to be doing? Is it time to start thinking about my future? Should I get a “real” job already? These, and many other questions have played through my…
Pursuing a dream is hard. It takes commitment and long hours of pouring yourself into your goals. Pursuing a dream that leads you to a road rarely traveled is even harder. Along with your own self-doubts and fears, there are outsiders who will remind you of how unrealistic and far-fetched your dreams are. Maybe you want to…
I choose what I post on social media each day. When I wake up, I consciously try to show my best self, my happiest memories, and my proudest moments. In my ongoing journey to love myself, I’ve not always been honest with social media. I have left out the not so picture perfect moments, fearing…

After recently starting a new job in my dream career, I’ve been overwhelmingly busy trying to balance work, my social life, and blogging. Two weeks ago, my best friend and I took a weekend trip…
I’d like to start this post off by saying something that’s been on my mind lately. I’ve been thinking about the times in my life where I’ve felt like I’d failed. Failure is an inevitable part of our journey. Failure can be a blessing in disguise, or a heavy burden on the days that seem…
This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot more lately since entering my late twenties. Growing up, I heard countless times that it’s much harder to make friends once you’re an adult.
