Life Lesson #3: The views you held growing up are going to evolve. It's up to you to change how you see the world. I grew up in the middle of the Bible Belt.

Life Lessons – Resets Are Okay
Yesterday, I wrote about life not going the way you planned and how it's okay. Today's life lesson kinda plays off that a little bit. So, lesson #2 I've learned is: Don't be afraid to start over. I feel like I have been hitting the rest button of my life since I started college in … Continue reading Life Lessons – Resets Are Okay
Life Lessons – Detours Will Happen
This is the first series of posts I have planned. The second series will be an ongoing one in 2020 (I'll unveil that later down the road). When I started thinking about this, I got a lot of influence from an interview Taylor Swift gave earlier this year for Elle Magazine. (Yes, I enjoy listening … Continue reading Life Lessons – Detours Will Happen

Finding Peace in Song
Every so often, there's a song that just manages to hit you directly in the emotions you're going through at that moment. The lyrics hit you like a train, overwhelming, powerful, and so raw that it makes it hard to breathe.

Procrastination Woes
I've gotten lazy with updating. I've gotten lazy with a lot of things, actually. My work schedule has been off, so I'm sleeping a lot longer than I usually do. I've been playing catch-up with laundry all week. I haven't been managing my journal as well as I have in the past few months. I … Continue reading Procrastination Woes
