         When you were younger did you have a picture in your head of what you thought adulthood looked like? I remember thinking that being an adult was all about work, family and just being serious all of the time. I thought after age 25 you just automatically become reserved and serious. I don’t know … More The Misconception I had about Adulthood.
The other day I was thinking about the quarter-life crisis. A quarter-life crisis is a period of uncertainty and questioning about life and your future. It feels like a period of constant soul-searching and trying to figure out this thing called Life. It’s actually pretty common for 25-year-olds to feel this way, but you don’t … More The Quarter-Life Crisis … Been There! (Looking Back, It Was Unnecessary Worrying.)
         Why do we judge our past selves with today’s wisdom? I heard Pastor Furtick talk about this recently and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. With age comes wisdom and growth, so why are we so hard on ourselves for our past choices/mistakes? Of course, we would do things a little different now, … More Judging Yesterday’s Self with Today’s Wisdom.
Today I don’t have much to say. I guess you can say I’ve been a little down this week. Have you ever felt like everyone has the answers but you?

Years ago, when I was in college, I remember seeing a poster that said “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” I think it was a quote by George Bernard Shaw. It made me think because I used to always say “I have to find myself. I have to find who I … More Finding Yourself vs Creating Yourself
When we are children, we are asked what we want to be when we grow up.

(exploring possibilities before college.)
I heard a discussion the other day about how people are in such a hurry to get to where they want to be. They want things to happen instantly, and they don’t want to put in all the time to make it happen. Sometimes it might seem like other people’s journeys are in the fast … More When it feels like your Dreams are taking the Scenic Route…
The other day I was just sitting back and thinking about how things were growing up. The way we saw things when we were young versus now. When you’re a teenager you are a little more fearless. This is a blessing and a curse. You’re not afraid to take a lot of chances. You can … More To be young, fearless and clueless again ….
