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

stars & sailboats
I. am. tired. You exhaust me. I'm trying to fight for you but it's almost like you're fighting against me. If I am the north star trying to help you figure out in which direction to head, you are both the ship missing a sail and the clouds that cover me up. I can only … Continue reading stars & sailboats
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
Anxiety is Not an Accessory
https://youtu.be/qr2wrpvdvlI Hi, my name's Amanda, and I have anxiety...do you? You, looking for a way to stand out, thinking this will make people care about you. It won't. Being a good person will. But yeah, I see you. You're romanticizing something that millions of people struggle with every day so let me just tell you: … Continue reading Anxiety is Not an Accessory
Good Days Aren’t Always Easy
I'm sure if you tried you could picture what is to you the perfect day: nothing standing in your way, nothing can go wrong (was that just Elle Woods?), but what if I told you your perfect day could come in the form of struggling and nervousness? Here's a better quote: "I'm not telling you … Continue reading Good Days Aren’t Always Easy
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
Uniquely You
You are the only you. It's been said many times in many ways, but I'm going to say it again: there is no one else who is better at being you. When you were born, someone held you in their arms and thought "look at this perfect little baby." And you are perfect, you are … Continue reading Uniquely You
The One Where Mental Illness is No Joke
If the point of this series is to record genuine human emotion, then that is the only point of blogging today. You don't want to read about me not at my best, and the post I had planned for today that had nothing to do with my lack of emotional well-being, well, I didn't plan … Continue reading The One Where Mental Illness is No Joke
Slow Down (But Don’t Stop)
Motivation Mondays are usually all about reasons to feel good and keep progressing in life, and I absolutely want you to do just that, but due to recent events I want to take this Monday to remind you: it's okay to slow down. I overworked myself, basically. I'm trying really hard this year to be … Continue reading Slow Down (But Don’t Stop)
