Juggling

No matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to stay on top of all of the things that are important to me. Loss of focus, perhaps minor bouts of depression, or just plain laziness could be the culprits, take your pick, but something always seems to get in the way. The changes I’m struggling … Continue reading Juggling →

Epiphanies

Lately, in my previously mentioned quest for clean, I’ve been having epiphanies. As I lay my head down at night to sleep ideas are bombarding me. “If I clean out x drawer I can move y things into it.” Or, “If I sort my closet to have cardigans grouped together, dresses grouped together, and so … Continue reading Epiphanies →

I spiraled and hit a low spot like I hadn’t … Continue reading Self Improvement aka Becoming Who I am Meant to Be →

Lonely but Not Alone

Thanks to mental health struggles, the awkwardness that is the teenage years (and beyond), and taking a long time to face myself - I’ve spent a good portion of my life lonely. Never alone, always surrounded by family, love, and for the most part friends, but often lonely. Anxiety and social anxiety love to lie … Continue reading Lonely but Not Alone →
