Sometimes it feels like we use the term “Friend” too loosely. I stopped overly using the word “friend” in my early twenties. I realized that some people are just your peer, classmate, coworker, acquaintance or associate, and nothing more. There are a lot of people who we see every day. We laugh and joke with … More FRIEND (Do we use the term too loosely?)
A lot of us grew up with our own set of traditions. Some were traditions for the whole family, and others might be traditions just between you and a another person (a sibling, parent, grandparent or friend). I am an advocate for traditions. It’s something to look forward to. When I was a kid, … More Starting New Traditions (Family & Friends)
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
Lately I’ve been battling with myself. I’ve been trying to decide what direction I should go in. Let’s say you’re working on two separate projects. Project X is fun and exciting, and Project Y is something you wouldn’t mind doing, but it doesn’t excite you. You want to get to a point where you can … More What Works vs Your Passion (Which one would you choose?)
This year feels like the year of clarity. A lot of us are seeing things that we either ignored for years or just didn’t ever notice. Some marriages fell apart in the midst of quarantine, while other marriages that were previously falling apart strengthened. A lot of people were forced to change jobs, and a … More The Year of “2020” Vision
I saw this question and it got me thinking about my adolescent years. I used to always wish that my peers would somehow know certain things about me that I couldn’t explain. I wanted people to know how nice and caring I was in spite of my silence. I wanted them to know that I … More What you wish people knew about you?
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. 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
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…
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. I stated how I wasn’t going to put so much pressure on myself, because … More 100+ Days of No Expectations
