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

Trying Something New
Comfort zones are lots of fun, because, well, you're comfortable, but it's important to try new things every once in a while to progress as a person, so that's what I'm here to motivate you to do this Monday! First, a little on what a comfort zone is: your comfort zone can be a physical … Continue reading Trying Something New
Forever & Always
Dear John, It's been a while, huh? I guess it can be pretty easy to lose track of time. How have you been? I hope you've been well. I'm sorry I left when I did, I just needed to get out of that town, I hope you can understand. Didn't you used to talk about … Continue reading Forever & Always
Giving Thanks
Today is Canadian Thanksgiving (I know Americans, it's a month and a half early and you are not ready for that much turkey yet, but just bear with me), and with this time of year being as stressful as it is, it's important to remember what you're thankful for, regardless of the day. As hard … Continue reading Giving Thanks
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

The warm frivolous days of summer are long behind us, the introductory lessons just finished, and now we all, students or not, feel the pressure to seriously get back to work. It's … Continue reading Tips for Staying Positive
The One Where I’m Walking the Walk
Okay, really it's more like crawling...but still, we all had to crawl before we walked. The last Letters I posted was titled "The One Where I'm a Fraud," and admittedly it was less than my usual motivating content. I just felt so fake, like I wasn't doing anything for my goals, which is honestly a feeling … Continue reading The One Where I’m Walking the Walk
The One Where I’m a Fraud
I'm a writer...am I? I write essays for school. I write for this blog. It's not very good. I want to write books, but I don't actively write my book often enough to say I write books. So am I a writer? But if I say I just want to be a writer, will I … Continue reading The One Where I’m a Fraud
Things to Remember
Now that fall is approaching and all of us are headed inside to desks and offices, summer a mere memory of the past, life seems to be moving all too fast. There are readings and assignments and applications, and only so many hours in the day. As you all get back into the groove of … Continue reading Things to Remember
200 Days of Self Love
I've spent a fair few blog posts documenting my troubles with self love, which led to the decision last Valentine's Day to try an exercise called 365 Days of Self Love. It mostly is what it sounds like, unless you have a very dirty mind about everything: every night I write down in my journal one … Continue reading 200 Days of Self Love
