I was trying to … More Dreams of college, fears and being inadequate?
All my life I’ve always been an introvert. Sometimes I can somewhat come across as an extrovert when I’m seen around family and close friends, but majority of the time I am an introvert. During this quarantine majority of us have been stuck indoors and a lot of people have been going stir-crazy. I am … More 2020 – The Year of the Introverts!
All of life I have been a night owl. I was just programed to be up throughout the night like a bat or something. I used to say well I must be an east coaster on west coast time, but these days I would still be consider a night owl even based off California … More Night Owl vs Early Bird
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.

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…
Today I had a moment, and I had to take a second and reflect. Lately it feels like most of the world has been on pause, and I guess my emotions have been put on pause as well. Just when I think I’m finally at a good place, something happens, and I feel like breaking. … More Broken Arrows
A week ago, I made it past 100 days in my daily task notebook. In a couple previous posts, I mentioned how I was going to stop setting goals and writing up plans. “No Expectations” was my motto for the summer.

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.
