Pursuing Compassionate Conflict
I wouldn’t say I’m someone who has ever had what most would consider to be “a lot” of friends. I’ve had “a lot” of acquaintances who I’d see and and have conversations with at school and work but they never went further than that. But of the few friends in my circle who I haveContinue reading “Pursuing Compassionate Conflict”
Messy Monotony
I’ll be honest— if you haven’t figured it out by now based on my writing, I’m a mess. And not even the aesthetically “perfectly looking” “messy bun, no makeup wearing, “if you don’t like me at my worst you dont deserve me at my best” Marilyn Monroe quoting, everyday Starbucks buying instagram ready” type ofContinue reading “Messy Monotony”
Creating Security Without “Perfect Timing”

But the scars my choices gaveContinue reading “Your Scars are Proof of Your Strength”
The Peculiar Pursuit
It’s not everyday that it’s your birthday. But by the time you read this, I will have turned 28. I can no longer say I’m in my mid-twenties. I’m officially a late-twenties girl. Somehow I thought I’d be further along in life—but I think we all do. But the truth is any drama or comedyContinue reading “The Peculiar Pursuit”
The Good, The Bad, & The Grey
Sometimes lessons come in the form of mistakes, whether they be personally yours or lived vicariously through someone else. Life is made of choices. And while I strive to be someone who makes “good choices” that are affirmed by others as “good choices”, sometimes I make choices that are grey. And then, because they’re grey,Continue reading “The Good, The Bad, & The Grey”
