Taking the L
I'll be the first to admit that I'm pretty competitive. I like to win and I like to be the best. However, in games, like in life, that doesn't always happen. I'm human. I mess up. I make mistakes. And many times, the hardest critic of my own actions and slipups is me. I messed … Continue reading Taking the L

Growing Pains
Do you remember when you were younger and you were growing and how it seemed that your entire body hurt? Maybe or maybe not.

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

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
Be Kind
Apparently February 17-23 is Random Acts of Kindness Week. Who knew right? I think it's a good time as any then to talk about kindness. 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
