Do you remember when you were younger and you were growing and how it seemed that your entire body hurt? Maybe or maybe not. Let me ask another question: if your wisdom teeth grew in impacted (I know mine sure did but hey what hasn't gone wrong with my mouth?), then maybe you remember how … Continue reading Growing Pains

The Truth about Impostor Syndrome
Let's talk impostors today. No, I'm not talking about the Impostors on the game Among Us. I want to talk instead about the phenomenon that is Impostor Syndrome. First of all, we need to know what Impostor Syndrome actually is. The short version is that Impostor Syndrome is the belief that your abilities are not … Continue reading The Truth about Impostor Syndrome
A Year of the Pandemic
We have passed the year mark with the pandemic. I've seen a number of my friends posting about the last thing they did pre-quarantine. The world has changed a lot since then. But I'd argue that we have changed a lot too. I know I have for sure. Some of them were good, and some … Continue reading A Year of the Pandemic
Boundaries
You know what I've really been reminded of in the past month? How important it is to have boundaries for yourself. Boundaries can extend to almost anything. Your job, school, friendships, relationships, or even yourself. And I don't mean this to say that you shouldn't let anyone or anything in. I mean this to say … Continue reading Boundaries
In Process
I'm sure I've said it before, but I'll say it again. I am constantly looking to grow, change, and improve. I don't want to stay the same all the time. That seems like such an awful thing. I've already changed and grown a lot, whether it's from high school, or even just last year as … Continue reading In Process

Kindness is so important, especially in the world we live in nowadays. The dictionary defines kindness as "the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate." But to me, it's so … Continue reading Be Kind
The Truth about Grief
I have to be honest here. I've been staring at my keyboard for a few hours now. I'm not sure which words I want to say first. If you come here from Facebook, then you're probably friends with at least one other member of my family. If that's the case, then you're probably aware of … Continue reading The Truth about Grief
Entitlement
Truthfully, I don't know how long this week's post is going to be. There's a lot going on that I don't really want to share. Everything is more or less okay. It's just a lot. Instead, I am going to share a story of something that happened yesterday and the reminder I got from it. … Continue reading Entitlement
Self-Evaluation
It seems crazy to me that we're already in February! I feel like January always goes by slow, but this year it seems to have come and gone in a flash. By now you might've even abandoned your New Year's Resolutions. Hey, no judgment. It happens. Or you may think that your goals are too … Continue reading Self-Evaluation
DIY Hairbrush Cleaner
I am ASHAMED I'm writing this post. Before this past weekend, I truthfully cannot tell you the last time I cleaned my hairbrush. It was awful, and I am embarrassed. But truthfully, I write this post as a guide for all of you. It took me a while to find something that would clean my … Continue reading DIY Hairbrush Cleaner
