Running Shoes, Pickles, and a Kia
What are your favorite brands and why? I’m a little late with my response today and I will admit to reading other people’s answers before I wrote this, which I really don’t like to do. But I think we’re all on a very similar page today with this one. Favorite brands are kind of arbitrary.… →

Did I Just Get Insulted?
You know what I love so much about writing? Simply by using certain words in the perfect combination, you can cut someone down in the most beautiful, non-threatening, yet soul-crushing kind of way. It’s subtle, and powerful all at the same time. I’ve been listening to the Hamilton soundtrack lately. Well, at least yesterday I… →

Words to Live By

Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here
What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why? The middle of the ocean…or Australia. Especially Australia. I will go to the beach any day and enjoy the heck out of jumping and splashing in the waves. I’m a good swimmer and know what to do to get out of a rip… →

10 Years?!
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? The thing about myself in 10 years is that I have no idea what that’s going to look like. About four years ago, my life was a certain way. If I had been asked this question then, I am certain that what my life is like now… →

Everyday Things for Everyday Happiness
What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness? This prompt sounds familiar yet again, however, my life has been continually changing and getting better so I’m pretty certain that my 5 things today aren’t all the same as the ones I wrote about whenever this prompt first surfaced. I think this time, if I… →
