How to Deal With Bad Things

Over Thanksgiving this happened to my car: And I subsequently went into a meltdown that probably looked something like this: You see my car is pretty precious to me. Not because I’m a crazy car person (that’s cats!), but because it’s the first and only thing that’s ever been “mine.” I don’t have an apartment... Continue Reading →

Sometimes It’s Hard to Be Thankful

From the moment you start recovering from your candy coma after Halloween, the Season of Thanksgiving begins. And it doesn’t end until January 2nd. For most, this should be a good thing, right? Who couldn’t use a little extra thankfulness and gratitude in their life? But for me, this time I tend to feel a... Continue Reading →

My Love/Hate Relationship with Social Media (Especially After the Paris Attacks)

I’ve been feeling especially on edge recently whenever I go online. And let’s be honest, is there ever really a time when we’re not somehow digitally connected all day long anymore? I always cringe when I look at the “Trending” section on the side of Facebook because it’s likely to be some horrific tragedy or... Continue Reading →

Being True to Yourself

I put a video about boobs out in October on my YouTube channel. My intention was to remind viewers to love yourself, your body, your boobs just the way they are! (A common theme among my videos). But what a few viewers took away was that I'm judgmental and close-minded about beauty and plastic surgery.... Continue Reading →

The Three Trains of Life

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 →

The Me Who I Think I Was Supposed to Be

  Last week I wrote about “The Me I Want to Be” and “The Me I Think I Am” and the disconnect between those two versions of myself. But in discussing my blog post with a friend, he made me realize there is actually a third version of myself I hadn’t addressed. He pointed out... Continue Reading →

Being the Person You Want to Be vs. Being the Person You Feel You Are

  I have a daily struggle between the “Me I Imagine” and the “Me That I Feel I Am.”   I have all these hopes and aspirations for the “Me I Imagine.” I really want to be successful. I really want to help people. I really want to explore my full potential as a skilled and... Continue Reading →

Haters Gonna Hate

  The Internet is a scary place. It’s filled with trolls and jerks and unhappy people looking to spread their unhappiness by commenting cruel things anonymously on other people’s work. I don’t think I’m popular enough on the Internet to feel the true brute force of the troll community, but I do get my fair... Continue Reading →
