Having learned nothing except maybe that I like the adrenaline rush that comes with being up against the wire, or that I lack self-discipline, or that I feel driven to self-sabotage (most likely all three). I am not going to get all my assignments done on time for this week. I spent the day playing … Continue reading Here we are again →

How many people are like me? I've always been competitive. Not driven to achieve or by achievement, but to be the best just to be better than you at something. Why? Because it makes me feel special. Being better than you at something, anything, gives me perceived value- not true value -but it makes me … Continue reading Life is not a competition →

I promised to share to everyday moments, even the mundane. Spoiler alert, I guess. 🤷‍♀️ School started up for me again this week, and instead of 2 classes in 8 weeks, this time I have to take 3 classes to make up a class I failed during the summer. Guys, it is hard. Harder than … Continue reading School →

Can I just say, I love my husband? Because I do, I really, really do. He does his best to do what he can, when he can, to help me have adventures.

I was kind of a jerk yesterday to someone that didn't deserve it (my cousin's girlfriend, sorry again Crystal).Being 'that time' of the month, the one I've had for many, many years now, you'd think that I would … Continue reading Hard days… →

Already in 2019, a whole whopping 1 day into the new year, and I'm already at a place beyond my limits. Part of me wants to complain, part of me wants to be told what a good person I am (because we're being authentic here), part of me wants to give up. The sum of … Continue reading Beyond My Limits →

I'm not necessarily prone to reflection at the end of the year, but I'll do my best. This year was a big year for me. For the first time in a very long time, I made a lot of progress on personal goals and growth. Which made me feel in turn accomplished, a bit proud, … Continue reading 12/31, the end of 2018 →

Hey everyone! I decided to start a blog to write my story. I relate to others through my own experiences, so I'm hoping that you'll find some parts of my story that help you figure out your own. I'd love to hear from you if you want to connect. While this blog is about my … Continue reading Welcome! →
