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 hard to believe that it’s officially the last month of 2024. This year has been one crazy year, and not the usual crazy. It’s been odd, but also enlightening. It’s like a lot of truths were exposed this year, and so many people are tired and overwhelmed. I’ve definitely learned a lot this … More Thinking of my next chapter… (It’s time for a Factory Reset) (Blogmas #1)
        I’ve been dreading this update for a long time. I know through my blogging journey I wanted to be very open and transparent, but towards the end I thought it was best if I pulled it back a bit. I was starting to see the pitfalls of oversharing, and I just thought I was … More What I’ve been afraid to talk about.

Lately I’ve been having a hard time realizing that people may see my marriage as a reason not to get married. I never pretend that something is perfect when it’s not, but I don’t want to be a walking poster for anti-marriage either. If you skim my socials, you might think my life is … More We’re Not Couple Goals and That’s Okay! (Marriage is Not for the Weak)
Today I was feeling a little curious about enneagram types and their best relationship matches. This past December I made two posts about finding out what my enneagram number was and how I felt about it. It was very accurate. I would say about 90% accurate. There were things that I didn’t like, and … More Love & Enneagrams (Are Some Enneagram Types Doomed to Fail in Relationships?)
      I was watching a YouTube video of someone over 30 speak on the hardships of growing on social media when you don’t have a particular lifestyle. Most people who are 18 to 23 can come on these platforms and not have it all figured out because they’re young and just starting out. All they … More Not Having It All at the Age You Expected … 29, 30, 31+ (Blogmas #2)
I’m going to get a little vulnerable and open today. I’m going to touch upon a topic that’s a little touchy for me. As a teenager I use to say I wanted 10 or 12 children (yeah, I know🥴). My parents came from larger families and I just liked the thought of having a full … More Will I Ever be a Mom? (The Pressure of the Biological Clock after 30.)
I’m going to end the “ideal” series with my ideal proposal. I hear about this topic a lot, and I also hear guys always ask for ideas. They don’t know if it should be creative, grand, or intimate. There’s really no wrong or right answer, because everyone is different. You have to really know your … More My Ideal Proposal
      The world can be kind of confusing for us women. We’re told that we should have children (or at least our first child) in our twenties because it’s better on our bodies, and the older we get the tougher it is on us. We start to think that we … More The Importance of Being WHOLE, before being a Half. (Advice before Marriage)
