Can I PLEASE be successful in just ONE thing in my life? I feel like I'm in a downward spiral of self loathing and pity and a lot of it stems from feeling like a failure. In everything. I work hard at the things I try to be successful in but maybe I just need… Continue reading Success

(Over)working Out…
Am I crazy? Working out is supposed to make you feel good and happy, right? I've told my boyfriend more than once that I've felt depressed post workout and it's a bit worrisome. I figured it was worth researching to see if I was the only one. Depression after working out is more common than… Continue reading (Over)working Out…
The 27 Club
I've always had a slight (or maybe substantial) obsession with the 27 club. For those who don’t know, there are many celebrities (mainly musicians) who have passed at the young age of 27. There’s a new Netflix documentary streaming called “27: Gone Too Soon” so of course I was immediately drawn to watch it right… Continue reading The 27 Club
Treat yourself…
No lie... I have been on an “I deserve it” kick for the past few months... I was supposed to be buying a gift card a week or picking up a small gift every pay check for future birthdays and Christmas. Have I been doing so? Nope… Here we are, five months in and I’ve only… Continue reading Treat yourself…
Hungover…
Blah, what a way to end the work week... I'm hungover. At work. Again. It was fun in the meantime but now the word is "Whyyyyy?"

Fun Goals
I have been making an effort to do more things that are an experience rather than purchasing material objects this year. I call these experiences, fun goals... well at least for the sake of this blog post. One of my fun goals this year is to attend more concerts! Quite honestly, I think I've already… Continue reading Fun Goals
Vacay
I recently went on a short vacation (6 days is definitely not enough) and while it was wonderful, it didn't give me the "reboot" in life that I usually get when I return from paradise. Usually going on a vacation gives me a refreshed outlook on my life. I feel recharged and have the drive… Continue reading Vacay
Empathy…
Empathy.... Definition: The ability to understand the feelings of others. Was this a trait some people weren't born with? Is this something that is learned and not being taught? I remember in Kindergarten we had a class on this very subject. I don't remember a whole lot from Kindergarten but this lesson really stuck with… Continue reading Empathy…
Spring is being held hostage…

He's threatening to look at his shadow everyday for the rest of the year... said he might make it snow on Sunday... Somebody. Please. Help! (This guy has decided to make a home under my… Continue reading Spring is being held hostage…

I’m having one of those hard weeks… A week where it’s hard to get out of bed… hard to make it to work and even harder to get through the workday…Everyday this week. I can deal with one or two hard days in a week but it looks like this feeling is going all the… Continue reading I’m ready for relevance…
