Before My Best Friend’s Wedding

I'm about to fly home tomorrow, land, get on another plane, and go see my best friend from high school get married. I'm 23 and have only had one relationship thus far. That's okay, I'm not sensitive about it, but it does still strike me as a little odd to be in this position. I'm … Continue reading Before My Best Friend’s Wedding

The One Where I Feel Like Chatting

Most Mondays I post some bit of advice or motivation, but it can get quite preachy, and I'm not feeling particularly preachy today. There's only so many things I can give advice about while I'm still working hard on my own goals. So let's have a chat.  I feel good. I struggled a bit last … Continue reading The One Where I Feel Like Chatting

The One Where I’m High On Life

Today I feel amazing. It doesn't matter that I'm sick and hungry and could use a nap. I. feel. amazing. Progress is happening. I always write my Motivation Monday posts about making goals and chasing after them, and I do believe that, but of course it's a little different to follow said advice and even … Continue reading The One Where I’m High On Life

The One Where All Systems Are Down

This isn't the post I wanted to make today. Or this week. How many times have I said that before? ugh. In an ideal 2016 my blog will be full of regular posts about advice and writing. Posts that are well written and thought out. This is not one of those posts. This is a … Continue reading The One Where All Systems Are Down

The One Where I’m (still) Sad

Dear Me,  How are you? I know I know the answer to that. You've been better. Your best friend just came into your room and asked what you were doing today and then said "I'm sorry you're sad." You knew, deep down somewhere, didn't you? You knew you were sad, but you didn't think you … Continue reading The One Where I’m (still) Sad

The One Where I’m Trying

I fell on my butt last week, I'll admit it.  I didn't want this to be my Wednesday post. I had a much better Wednesday post planned than the word vomit that is this introspective series, but unfortunately I stumbled a bit today, too, and I couldn't do it. I'll get that up another day, … Continue reading The One Where I’m Trying

The One Where I’m Having a Great Week

I'm realizing I should have called this series "Letters to Myself," but now it feels too late to change it. Oh well, missed opportunity. If you are not myself, this is a regular introspective series on my blog I started to reflect on the internal and external happenings in my life while on exchange last … Continue reading The One Where I’m Having a Great Week

The One Where I’m Starting to Crack

That's an ironic title given the last post was about positivity. I am struggling to stay positive. I need to follow some of my own advice. I just feel a lot of pressure right now about school. I've never tried this hard in school before. Ever. And that's honestly really scary for me. You see, I think … Continue reading The One Where I’m Starting to Crack
