What a year it's been, right? Damn. Before I could even start writing this, I had to go back and read my previous New Year's post to see if and how I've changed. Give it a look if the mood strikes you, but let's get through this new word purge first. How's my year been? [...]
Hello, Anxiety. Showing up again uninvited and empty-handed. Creating a feeling of non-belonging where it doesn't belong. Tightening a vice in my chest where air should be flowing freely. Turning insignificant decisions into behemoth choice beasts. Causing me to worry about things that will never come to fruition. Telling me I'm not good enough because [...]
What exactly is a "niche", you ask? It's defined as a "comfortable or suitable position in life or employment" or as a "product or service that appeals to a small, specialized section of the population." It's the thing that all search engines, marketers, and advice-givers want you to define for yourself because, without having made [...]
Ever asked yourself that? Ever had a day where every social interaction you have just doesn't land right? Maybe you're having more than a few days like that. I don't know your life. What I do know is that I've been hyper aware of how often I'm choosing to avoid people these days. If I [...]
We're small. We're incredible. But...ridiculously small. Don't you forget it. It's vital that we keep this notion at the edge of our awareness because it instills us with a powerful sense of humility.

The New Year approaches. Can you feel it? The arrival of a new year makes us feel like we've got a "fresh start". You find yourself reflecting on what you did over the last 12 months…and what you didn’t do. I, for one, have had some incredible experiences this year. We're talking things that I couldn't have [...]
'Everything happens for a reason' is a phrase we hear thrown around all the time. Some people dismiss it as a cop-out and some people whole-heartedly believe in it. I'm one of those whole-hearted people. I choose to believe that everything happens for a reason because it's rooted in hope and curiosity. Not disappointment and [...]
Everything in our world nowadays is set up to connect us with people that we have things in common with. All of our social media wants us to know what mutual friends we have, that we both love the same music, are from the same neighborhoods, spend our free time the same way, and believe [...]
We're all unique. We have innate character traits that we come into this world with and we get to build out the little details along the way as we grow. There are a lot of 'types' that you can easily find yourself trying to fit into. The fitness buff, the nerd, the hot chick, the rockstar, the [...]
Throwback Thursday. So many of us take part in this popular hashtag so we can post memories of ourselves from the past and reminisce on the good times. I, for one, love it. Yesterday, Facebook reminded me that I graduated from college 8 years ago. Mind blown. Today, I'm randomly going through some old pics [...]
