It’s kind of like “Running with Wolves” or “Swimming with Dolphins” but much less majestic and a lot more messy. So one of the things that’s been on my “Bucket List” is going to a cat cafe. I always figured I’d have to go to New York City or a more trendy, metropolitan area in... Continue Reading →
Glamping Adventures
My unplugged vacation was a success! Although I did find that despite being on top of a mountain in basically the Middle of Nowhere, Virginia, I did still have 4G LTE which was surprising and also didn’t entirely cut me off from social media. But I still enjoyed myself immensely and was actually able to... Continue Reading →
When You Hate the Things You Love
I had a super stressful weekend when it should have been super amazing and exciting. It’s been a goal of mine and my good friend Alanna’s to make a video together since we now live in the same city. And we’ve been working on said project for the last few weeks. This Saturday was the... Continue Reading →
The Time a Teacher Told Me My Art Was Too “Crafty”
While in high school, I was so much of an overachiever that I couldn’t fit all my passions into my class schedule. So my love for art was relegated to an after school activity in a small “Gifted Arts” program. It was two hours after school once or twice a week with an art teacher... Continue Reading →

“Whose Wife Are You?:” The Problem of Being Artistic in a Traditionally Professional World
So I have a new job which means I have new coworkers. And it also means getting to know said coworkers. I have the interesting situation now of being extremely diverse in skill set and professional interests in comparison to my coworkers. In the past, I was surrounded by a small core group of other...

How to Have Fun at Busch Gardens’ Howl-O-Scream When You Hate Being Scared!
The ghosts and goblins have come out to haunt Busch Gardens at this year’s Howl-O-Scream, and despite my aversion to Halloween horrors, I was there to revel in the mayhem and attempt to escape alive! (Obviously, since I’m writing this post, I succeeded!) I love Howl-O-Scream. I don’t like scary things or haunted houses... Continue Reading →
Child-Free But Not a Child-Hater
I feel like I’ve discussed this topic a lot on the blog, and I wish it wasn’t the case. It’s not that I’m trying to beat a dead horse or anything, but unfortunately, in the world we live in, I can’t express my desire to have a future without children in a nonchalant way like... Continue Reading →
Nashville, Anxiety, & 16-Hour Work Days
I’m exhausted. Not really physically (although I could certainly use some more sleep) but more mentally than anything. I feel like I’ve been on a psychological roller coaster for the past week. As an introvert I’ve had to be “on” for 8 days straight now, with only one break day before that in the... Continue Reading →
