To My Sixteen Year Old Self

An open and honest letter to myself five years in the past. Do you have anything you wish you could tell a past you, even if just to warn them for what was to come?

Letters From Exchange: The One Where I Want to Get Better

So, that last post was a bit of a downer, eh? (there's that time spent in Canada showing through). Yeah, I wrote it and fell into a deep spiral of self hate that I had to sleep off. I hardly ate that day, but then I got so weak that I had to get McDonald's … Continue reading Letters From Exchange: The One Where I Want to Get Better

Self Love

Let's get one thing clear: I think I'm awesome, and worth taking care of. But to be perfectly honest, I don't really love myself. I want to, I really, really do. But I don't yet. I've always grown up hearing about how girls from my generation have a lot of pressure to feel thin and … Continue reading Self Love

Letters From Exchange: The One Where I’m a Mess

That's right, I'm a mess. Similar to this blog, actually, seeing as this is the first time I'm posting this week. Whoops.  I don't even fully know what happened today, the anxiety just got to me. I woke up feeling a bit tired but mostly rested, was happy to see some sunshine as I filmed … Continue reading Letters From Exchange: The One Where I’m a Mess

Letters From Exchange: The One Where I Write Myself a To-Do List

I think I'm actually starting this one by asking myself "what do I need to tell myself today?" I think I probably mostly need to tell myself to get out of bed, seeing as it's almost 6pm and all I've done is scroll through Tumblr and eat breakfast. I'd like to claim this happened maximum … Continue reading Letters From Exchange: The One Where I Write Myself a To-Do List

A bit of Monday Motivation

Today's a new day and a new week. Some would say it's the hardest day of the week for that very reason, that now we have to go back to school and work after relaxing all Sunday. While I have done more than my fair share of groaning on a Monday, today I feel energized … Continue reading A bit of Monday Motivation

Travel With Me: Munich

Welcome to the third addition of my travel with me series! Some fun facts about Munich: I couldn't decide if I felt confident in my German or not and often switched back and forth, but got really excited when one older man couldn't speak English and I had to speak German. We did, in fact, … Continue reading Travel With Me: Munich

Letters From Exchange: The First One

I'm going to preface this for any readers that, as I often enjoy using this blog as a diary of sorts, I will now continue to do so in letters to myself entitled "Letters from Exchange" (I suppose that title will have to change when I'm no longer on exchange, but I can't be bothered … Continue reading Letters From Exchange: The First One

2015: The Year of Me

The title seems a tad self serving, doesn't it? It's not meant to be. It was intended to be "the year of you", but I realized this was a more internalized blog post than a self-help one. Just know that this is the year of you, whenever you're reading this. And you an do anything. I want you to know that I'm trying...

Thoughts Before My Final (Word Vomit)

Why don't I ever focus? Do I just honestly care so little? I think my faith that things will always work out permits my general laziness to overtake any determination to focus on something that feels like actual work. Sure, tonight it's a youtube addiction, but if it weren't that it'd be Tumblr or something … Continue reading Thoughts Before My Final (Word Vomit)
