Which is worse? Failing or never trying? This question used to be so simple. The answer seemed so obvious. Never trying would be the worse choice of course. Now, I look at it slightly differently. I still feel that never trying is still the worst choice someone can make for the most part. However, … More To Fail or To Never Try? (That’s the question. What’s the answer?)
         When you were younger did you have a picture in your head of what you thought adulthood looked like?

I don’t know … More The Misconception I had about Adulthood.
In the last eight to twelve weeks, I’ve been thinking a lot about things. When I was younger, I used to think tears were a sign of weakness.

Lately I’ve been thinking about pressure, and how I handle it. I used to always seem to draw a blank when time was ticking, but once it came down to the wire something would click, and I always made my deadline. The last few years my anxiety has intensified, and that last minute click … More Caving under pressure? Self-sabotage? Mental Health Issues? (Which one is it?)
         This week I was thinking a lot about time and patience. Most of us want things to happen right away. We often turn away from things once we realize it might take years, or longer than we initially expected. I remember when I was in college, and I changed my major to psychology. I … More This is Your Sign to Go for It! (Stop Running from Your Passion!)
         If you didn’t watch How I Met Your Mother you might not know what a Woo Girl is, or maybe it is a universal word and I’m just not aware of it. I’m not sure, but I’ve only heard of the word from watching the show years ago. I remember watching the episode (season … More Confessions of a Woo Girl (I Now know why they Woo)
