I have come to the conclusion that going back and reading old posts about my ex-husband are doing absolutely no good in my life. In fact, it's been a factor in dragging out some emotions I had thought I had pushed down and out completely. Note to self, don't read previous posts while in quarantine, … Continue reading The Last Chapter of This Story

“Currently Under Construction”
Well, we've made it 19 days into 2020 and let me tell y'all, I feel better than I did this time last year!! Literally better - according to my Facebook Memories (bless those), I was sick, most likely with strep or an upper respiratory infection. It seemed like I stayed sick for the entirety of … Continue reading “Currently Under Construction”
The Less Christmas-y Time of the Year
Picture it. You're 8 years old, and it's Christmas Eve. The tree is lit up in bright colors in the corner of the living room, snow is starting to fall, and TBS has started their 24-hour marathon on A Christmas Story. There's presents under the tree, with the promise of a few more hopefully in the … Continue reading The Less Christmas-y Time of the Year
Life Lessons – Auto Edition
I've learned this the hard way, but life lesson #11: Your car needs some TLC too. I have only had my license since 2017. A year later, my parents, after seeing me struggle to save up for a car, signed the title to their 2005 PT Cruiser to me and my ex husband. And while … Continue reading Life Lessons – Auto Edition
Life Lessons – Cherish People
My late grandpa has been on my mind a lot today. Some memories came up in my Facebook feed that have left me a little nostalgic and have allowed me to grieve.

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
30 Thoughts for 30 Days
When I first started this blog, it's purpose was split into two ideas - to reflect upon my marriage and my adventures of adulthood and a challenge to myself to keep something updated for the remaining few months of my 20s. I had created a 30 before 30 list, a bucket list of things I … Continue reading 30 Thoughts for 30 Days
Picking Up the Pieces
It's been a little over a month since my husband and I have split up. In short, I discovered he had been cheating on me for a few weeks. It hadn't been the first time this has happened, unfortunately. He claimed to have a sex addiction and every time this has happened in the past, … Continue reading Picking Up the Pieces
Upside Down
After 2 years and 10 days, my marriage has come to a screeching halt. I'm still trying to process, so it may be a few days before I'm able to come back to this blog. Which is going to have to change completely from what I originally wanted it. Keep me in your thoughts.
