Follower or Leader
Are you a leader or a follower? As the oldest child, I tend to be more of a leader. I often had to help solve problems or just help take care of the kids in general! I am also typically the oldest in my friend group and the most likely to make a decision when…

Grief and Games
This week was a difficult one for me. It started off going really well. I felt great and I was getting myself on track with the new routine! Then, on Tuesday, I received the news that I had lost a friend to cancer. I’ve spent most of this week feeling low energy and lethargic, even…

Just a bit of Movement
There are a lot of different ways I can improve my life. Most of them feel like small things and they are things I’ve done in the past but they are difficult for me to maintain. Whenever I start to reach burnout, it feels nearly impossible to even get out of bed, much less take…

Productive Ups
When do you feel most productive? I only really feel productive on good days when I’m feeling up. Usually I feel up whenever I find something to be passionate or excited about. That’s usually when I start going crazy and doing as much as I can instead of pacing myself. On days when I’m feeling…

Happiest with Passions

Waiting for my Turn
Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often? I’ve talked a few times about a small mantra I repeated to myself in high school to keep my hopes up. “I deserve a chance.” It gave me enough hope to keep pushing and reminded me that no matter what I…

Time to Get Serious
My girlfriend and I spent the entire week this week looking at houses. We’d like to rent a place and while my girlfriend found her dream home, there was a $35 application fee. We’re finding some places with $80 application fees! These application fees are for every tenant over 18, meaning we’d have to pay…

Dysmorphic Memories
The quiet presses against my ears in the surrounding darkness, only my sharp breaths and beating heart break the silence. My eyes quickly adjust, soft light streaking through the window casting an eerie glow over the living room furniture. Shakily adjusting my blanket, I scan the room. My mind, plagued by the fear of a…
