Why You Should Do Things Even If You’re Alone
A great, last minute, opportunity presented itself to me this week. I didn't want to turn it down, but I thought about it because I had no one to join me. Who wants to go to an event alone? The event landed on a Thursday and Friday. I already have a small pool of friends … Continue reading Why You Should Do Things Even If You’re Alone
Feeling of Not Feeling
The emptiness that filled the room was neutralizing No pain, sadness, or anger. Just emptiness But yet my lungs filled heavily and my mind was full of thoughts Thoughts that provoked no emotion, just winkled lines of thought on my face So this is how it feels to not feel What an interesting thought to … Continue reading Feeling of Not Feeling
Twin Flames
I learned this really interesting concept recently out of the blue. It resonated so much that I wondered if it could have fallen into my path on purpose. Was I supposed to learn about this theory to help explain my own journey? First of all, I really don't know if it's true or not. Second … Continue reading Twin Flames
26 Things I Learned in 26 Years
My birthday was October 18th (almost 2 weeks ago). It was a particularly odd one for me. I wasn't sad and I wasn't happy. I felt neutral. I am grateful for everything I have, but yet not totally happy with where I am in life. The past few years have been difficult. I felt lost … Continue reading 26 Things I Learned in 26 Years

Maybe it's because people associate reality shows with people making a fool of themselves on national tv so they wonder what … Continue reading Do I Regret Doing a Reality Show?

This got me thinking because it was one step further than my post about taking space. To me, taking space … Continue reading Cleansing Friends
Perspective of an Ex
Right after writing my last post, I received a phone call from an old friend. He saw on my instagram that I was home and wanted to stop by since he was in my area. At first I thought it might be awkward. I had not seen him in at least 6 years. Do we … Continue reading Perspective of an Ex
Why You Need To Forgive
I've been on a conscious journey of growth the past five months. I say conscious because we all grow and evolve naturally, but there is a different growth that comes with the decision to change. I've found that a fundamental piece of growth is forgiveness. I've heard this concept before, but never really understood the … Continue reading Why You Need To Forgive
Warning Signs
I listened to Halsey's new song the night it came out and I haven't stopped since. Yes, I like the melody and it brings a chill vibe into my life, but it also intrigues me. One line in particular grabs my attention every time. "It's funny how the warning signs can feel like they're butterflies". … Continue reading Warning Signs
