I had a different post planned for today, but I can't, in good conscience, write it today. We're still seeing this pain, this injustice in the world. It's not excusable, and it's not acceptable. This outrage that sparked into a flame with the events that transpired in March doesn't need to stop. Changes need to … Continue reading Fighting Injustices

Don’t Sweat It
I feel like I keep having to mention posts I've already written, but they just keep being relevant! In August 2017, I wrote a post called "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" (read it here). It talks about how I worry about life. News flash: I still worry, even three years later. But you know what, … Continue reading Don’t Sweat It
Making a Comeback
I talked a few weeks ago about the idea of overcoming perfectionism (read it here). I still absolutely feel that way, and what I want to talk about this week is directly related to this topic. The problem with perfectionism, as I mentioned a few weeks ago, is that if you can't get it immediately, … Continue reading Making a Comeback
Be Assertive
This is a phrase I find myself saying all the time, whether to me or to my friends. "Be assertive!" I have found this to be such a helpful phrase in many situations of life. For me personally, I am very independent. I hate asking for help to the point where I will struggle along … Continue reading Be Assertive
Overcoming Perfectionism
I know I can be a perfectionist at times. While it can definitely be a good thing for certain things, it's not always the best. You might be like, "Why can it be a bad thing?" Well, I'll tell you. Perfectionism isn't just everything has to be done properly. Perfectionism is also wanting instant results … Continue reading Overcoming Perfectionism
Summer Leisure
Tomorrow, July 22, is Summer Leisure Day. Unfortunately, like I mentioned last week, things kind of got in the way of my summer plans. However, I still have found some time to enjoy myself. This past weekend, I was able to celebrate my graduation with friends and family. It was a great time, and I … Continue reading Summer Leisure
Getting Away
I'm back! It's nice to get out of town for a week, but it's also nice to be back. The summer is wrapping up for me, and I still have a lot that I feel I need to get done. I know this summer has been so crazy different because of the coronavirus and how … Continue reading Getting Away
A Beginner’s Guide to the Gym
As places begin to hopefully open where you are, one of the things that should be opening is the gym. Maybe you've gained a few pounds during quarantine (no judgment). Maybe you're like me, where you keep wanting to get in shape and know that the gym is probably one of the best places to … Continue reading A Beginner’s Guide to the Gym
Making Art
I enjoy making art. I don't get to do it as frequently as I like, but I do still enjoy it. I painted a canvas over the weekend. It's this week's featured image, and I'll include it at the bottom like I always do. I'm so proud of how it turned out. I'll have to … Continue reading Making Art
It’s Not “All Lives Matter”
As I mentioned two weeks ago, I do my best not to get overly political on here. But at the same time, I cannot be silent while so many are hurting. Again, this isn't about me. I know I speak from a place of privilege. I also know that I have a small but decent … Continue reading It’s Not “All Lives Matter”
