The other day I had a conversation about what’s been going on lately. It has been a crazy December, and it all just seems a little too much sometimes. As I was confiding in a friend she just couldn’t believe everything that’s been happening with my family and I over the last few years. … More It’s Time to do Something DIFFERENT. (Searching for Freedom)
         Five years ago, I uploaded a short post about going into a trial-and-error period. It was a time when I wanted to try a lot of things and figure out what works and what doesn’t. I wanted to know what works best for me and finally get a better idea of my path, so … More Going into another Trial-and-Error season.
         I’ve been in my head a lot lately. Throughout this whole divorce process, I’ve been having a challenging time with the whole alimony thing. We didn’t have a prenup, but I’m still not asking for anything. People think I’m crazy and tell me that I should think about what I’ve been through. Even recently, … More Divorce Diaries (Part 5: Why I am Choosing the Harder Path and Not Asking for Alimony… )
         Well, there goes another year. 2024 was interesting to say the least. What a challenging time! Now it’s time for a new chapter. The last 3 years have been the hardest 3 years, but now, it’s bamboo season! I’m claiming it! It’s a time for rapid growth and a time for change in the … More Going into the New Year Damaged but Not Destroyed!
I came across an old post I wrote back in 2020. The post was about seeing things clearly and how 2020 was the year of clear vision. Fast-forward to now, 2020 has nothing on 2024. This year has been an eye-opening year for sure. It’s like we’re seeing a lot of people’s (and organizations’) … More 2024: The Year of Reveal. (When Push comes to Shove!) Blogmas #4
         I’ve been thinking and wondering what the next chapter of my blog will be. Initially, it was about my life after grad school, and although things haven’t gone as planned, I’m glad that I recorded a lot of moments over the last five to six years. I hated coming back on here with negative … More Entering a New Chapter (Saying goodbye to the life I knew, and the fear of starting over.) (Blogmas #2)
It’s interesting how two people who are close to you can both see you differently. How can two people who know you so well see two completely different things? Usually, one would think that the people who are close to you would all see the same thing. In other words, if I asked my … More Words carry weight, but that doesn’t mean I should let them weigh me down.
         Last year was one hell of a journey! There were so many lessons and life changing moments. I’ve learned more about myself and embraced the need for change. I pushed back my fears and started counseling and learned that I cannot fight depression and anxiety alone. I started my new medication back in November … More New Steps, New Adventures and New Paths. (Chasing Happiness after Grief)
         In a few past posts over the years, I’ve spoken on Strength. I’ve mentioned how even in moments when we feel like we’re weak we are actually strong. We equate tears and breaking down from time to time to being weak, but every time we get up that shows how strong we actually are. … More Stronger than you think, Tougher than you believe.
         I feel like I’m currently in this transitional period between comfort zone and ready to soar. You know the moment when people are constantly poked and pushed until they finally start to fight back? Well, that can happen with life as well. It can feel like life is pushing you and pushing you until … More When Desperation Occurs, the Beast Emerges. (The Surge of Determination You Feel Once Life Backs You into a Corner.)
