         When you were younger did you have a picture in your head of what you thought adulthood looked like? I remember thinking that being an adult was all about work, family and just being serious all of the time. I thought after age 25 you just automatically become reserved and serious. I don’t know … More The Misconception I had about Adulthood.
Lately I’ve been in my head a lot. I don’t know why, but it feels like I constantly compare myself to others. In a previous post, I wrote about comparing ourselves and how we shouldn’t do it. I understand that our journey is our own. It’s unique to us. I get that and understand it, … More We are all in Our Own Lanes. (Our Journey is Unique)
December is coming up and I’m a little excited. It’s something about Christmas time that eases my mind, especially since I left the retail scene. During the years at my old job, I was not thrilled about this time of year. Even though Christmas is supposed to be a joyous holiday, it brought out the … More Christmastime
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?)
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
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 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!
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. This is a blessing and a curse. You’re not afraid to take a lot of chances. You can … More To be young, fearless and clueless again ….
