  • An Ode to 20-somethings

    We are young and resilient! NOW is the time to travel the world, to make a change, to learn about different cultures and prepare. – Bianca Paige Smith  It’s a funny thing… being a 20-something. Extended adolescence they say… I think NOT. 30 is the new 20… couldn’t be more wrong. What do “they” know…

  • Biggest fear? Water. Where I need to be most? Water.

    Makes no sense, I know. You asked though- beach, mountain, forest or somewhere else? Near the water. That is my answer. Natureeeee I need youuuuuuu, I need to be in nature to feel connected to this crazy world. Is that a “hippie” thing to say? Long hair don’t care is what I say. I guess…

  • Feeling lost… sitting on the sun.

    I just feel like I’ve given up. But how can I fight for something that has been trying so hard to get away from me to begin with? I feel lost in this big huge world. There are so many people and many of them are trying to make it and sometimes to make a…

  • If you let it shine, you can free your mind.

    LIGHTBULB. Absolute lightbulb went off in my head this morning. I have been listening to this song- Sober by Childish Gambino– for a few months now and it is such a jam. Sometimes I get stuck on songs just because and other times… it’s because they are meant to teach me something. I still remember…

  • Who says you can’t do that?

    Did you know today is Blog Action Day? Join bloggers from around the world and write a post about what inequality means to you. Have you ever encountered it in your daily life? Quite simply it means this- Joe has 5 apples and Paul has 3. So that is inequality. Joe has more apples- most would…

  • An extra hour to … SLEEP?!

    Good news — another hour has just been added to every 24-hour day (don’t ask us how. We have powers). How do you use those extra sixty minutes? Nooooo… I thought about it. But no. After my last rant it makes sense that if I had an extra hour in each day that I would just…

    Security in doing things that take a long time

    I swear… from that moment I was determined to get to where I am today. When, on that dreadful day – February 5th 2013- I ended up in the ER with a torn achilles tendon, I knew I was on the beginning of a verrryyyyy long journey. The first ten days felt the longest. By…

  • Do you want to be my friend, circle yes or no.

    Do you want to be my friend, circle yes or no.

    If you had to come up with one question, the answer to which would determine whether or not you could be friends with a person you’ve just met, what would it be? What would the right answer be? Here’s my question: Do you want to be my friend, yes or no? Hahah no way. But…

  • Fall favorites. because fall is my favorite

    Fall favorites. because fall is my favorite

    Changing colors, dropping temperatures, pumpkin spice lattes: do these mainstays of Fall fill your heart with warmth — or with dread? I absolutely love it. The fall is my favorite season. These are a few of my favorite things: Warm sweaters and scarves that you can only break out when the weather chills. That perfect…

  • Don’t settle… Chase after the rush.

    Don’t settle… Chase after the rush.

    So I read this article yesterday about why you should move five times in your life and how you should never stop chasing that uncomfortable feeling you have when you find yourself in a new experience. It kind of reminds me of that movie … I can’t remember what it’s called but basically the guy…
