I started experiencing this "off" feeling while I was in college. It came in spurts but always subsided. However, I seemed to be going through a strange wave in my life. This time the off-ness didn't just go away, it seemed to linger in the background for the better part of this last year. I noticed it, I felt it, I acknowledged it but couldn't quite identify where it was stemming from. So I did what any modern day adult would do... I ignored it.
The Map That Never Ends
Sometimes I spend my mornings staring in the mirror wondering how I got so old. Not because I have gray hairs or wrinkles but because I can see the weight of worry settling on my brows. I can see the disheveled look of a bad nights sleep resting under my eyes and in my hair. … Continue reading The Map That Never Ends
Life ain’t so bad
Life is such a bully. Life pulls the rug out from underneath you when you're least expecting it. Life pushes you around, exposes your weaknesses, and kicks you while you're down. And just when you think you've had enough, life picks you up, sets you on your feet, and brushes you off. Just when you … Continue reading Life ain’t so bad
If we were all made of money
If we were all made of money, like literally made of physical cold hard cash, instead of water, muscle tissue, and other gross stuff. What would that look like? How much would we be worth?

And being vulnerable is almost always associated with weakness. But vulnerability is anything but weak. If we were completely honest, we could all probably admit that we … Continue reading If vulnerability was a wishing well
Such a negative little ‘F’ word…
That's right I said it: feminism. Did you just cringe? I know I did, and I shouldn't have, seeing as I am someone who advocates the importance of feminism. A feminist is defined as someone who supports women's economic, political, and social equality to men... I feel (and hope) that in 2015, most people can … Continue reading Such a negative little ‘F’ word…
The health benefits of being perpetually single
Dating is the ultimate learning experience when it comes to narrowing down what an ideal relationship is to you. Like putting together a puzzle, you don’t know which pieces fit where until you try it out. Some parts will mesh, while others won’t, but in the end when you put together all the right pieces it can make quite the picture. I wouldn’t know anything about this though. This is just a third party observation.
You should do that thing you thought about doing.
And for the past 2 years I’ve been saying, “I think I’m going to start a blog.” Then I don’t, I never start the blog. Ever. I really couldn’t figure out why I kept putting it off either. Then it occurred to me, I was scared.
