I am just finishing up my week of spring break, and I’ve spent it happily at home with my family. While I’ve been busy shopping at Costco, going to Pilates with my mom, and knocking medical check-ups off my list, … Continue reading Taking a Break
I was raised in a Christian household, with celebrations of religious holidays such as Easter and Christmas. We knew the Bible and its stories, and we prayed before dinner. However, I never understood what it meant to truly celebrate religious … Continue reading Social Media Sacrifice
Growing up, I never imagined I would be at this point in my life, mostly because I was always what my mom called, “a snow baby”. I would eagerly run outside and jump in the fluffy white stuff that covered … Continue reading A Clinical Allergy to the Cold: Preparing for Winter
Confession: I am an imposter. I feel as if my appearance and my voice are two different beings, and my mind is separate from both, on its own planetary revolution far away. My looks are not who I am, my … Continue reading The Imposter
I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while, but every time I get around to it, the Universe sends more love my way. But, here I am anyways, because some blessings need to be recognized and accepted in … Continue reading Feminine Energy
Today is July 16th, and there is almost exactly one month left before my 19th summer draws to a close. I’ve had an up and down summer, with pretty sky high moments and my fair share of bottom-of-the ocean lows. … Continue reading Life & Blog Update
I do my best to keep my posts uplifting and inspiring, but sometimes it’s hard to stay positive when you’ve coughed for so long the headache pounds in your ears. My small ailments of last week are laughing at the fate of this week, and even though it is only Wednesday, I am exhausted. College is about independence and self-discovery, and those are two wonderful and essential things. But, through being forced to be independent I have discovered that I hate going to the doctors without my mom. Especially one that I am unfamiliar with. In the past four days … Continue reading Bronchitis, Bagels, and iBooks
Today it is cold. Yesterday it was cold. And I just checked the weather for tomorrow, and do you know what? It’s still going to be cold. Me and the cold aren’t exactly the best of friends. After being diagnosed … Continue reading My Fifteen Winter Necessities
Today, and most days, I am grateful for my hair, skin, eyelashes, fingernails, lungs, and my body in entirety. However, most days are not all days, and there was a time in my life were the bad days outnumbered the good. Let me begin as a child, as all good “this is when it began” stories come to exist. I was a stout, round child, to put it nicely. I have talked about this before as well on this blog, because as a girl, this isn’t always what’s expected or accepted in society. But what does an eight-year-old care what … Continue reading Physique: 12 DOG
Being that I (still) don’t know many people here in college, it always catches me off guard when someone stops to ask “how are you?” “Good,” I reply quickly, a conditioned response. “How are you?” I never quite listen all the way through to their answer, partly because it’s the same as mine and partly because I just lied. Again. Because believe it or not, I’m not “good”. I’m anxious a lot of the time, about scenarios that never happen. That doesn’t deter my anxiety though. I’m not “okay”. I miss my family and my dogs and my boyfriend and my shower and … Continue reading How Are You?
