Do you ever sit and just be? I'm talking no TV, phone off, no music, no computer, nothing. Laying down with just yourself and your thoughts with only outside noises fading in and out. Our society has this mindset of "go-go-go" and "do-do-do" but never "just be." The only way to soak in everything that's … Continue reading Just Be
I'm in the middle of reading "The Art of Happiness" (HIGHLY recommend) and there is one theme that has really stuck with me. One of the main reasons why it's so hard for us to be truly happy is that we constantly compare ourselves to other people. There is always something more and something better … Continue reading The Art of Happiness
My life is about to get insane. It's already insane I guess, but it's going to be a huge notch up from insane...what's the right word? A mad house of crazy? This romper basically describes what I'm about to go through. A huge mess of who-knows-what-is-actually-happening-what-I'm-feeling-what-I'm-doing-what-is-life-my-mind-is-a-battlefield. I'm just going to romp (ha) around until the … Continue reading Romping Till Death
"The best things happen by chance." I make notes in my phone when certain phrases, experiences or ideas pop into my head throughout the week. I was looking through some of my old notes, and this one popped up and stood out to me. Strangely enough I've had it in my phone for almost a … Continue reading Chance
I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that it's hard not to take things personally. The other day I had to step back and say to myself "the world does not revolve around you, chill the F out." It worked for a hot second till I started panicking again. I … Continue reading The Reviews Are In
It's strange how certain memories from our childhood pop up randomly. Why do specific instances stick with us and some fade away only to be remembered at random times throughout our life, and some never remembered at all? Do we black out parts of our life because they're so awful, or is it because we … Continue reading Three Parts
Why do we make life so much harder than it has to be? We could easily forget our worries about the past and future, forgive people that have hurt us and let go of what ultimately holds us back. As much as we don't want to admit it, our human nature feeds on worries, bad … Continue reading A Messy Painting
The greatest weapon anyone can use against us is our own mind by preying on the doubts and insecurities that are already infecting our hearts. Are we true to ourselves, or do we live according to the expectations of others? And if we open up and practice all honesty, can we ever truly be loved? Human … Continue reading Late Night Snacks
The hardest balance to strike is being tough yet sensitive. We all put on some type of exterior image, usually masking our vulnerabilities. Some who don't hide their vulnerabilities are often categorized as sensitive. I mean don't get me wrong, I get annoyed by feelings and people who express them constantly. There are a lot … Continue reading Turtle Shells
I don't have a whole lot on my mind today. I am currently sitting on my bed and overwhelmed with gratefulness for where I am in life right now. I'm right where I want to be. Things are about to get insane - huge life changes, trips, babies, weddings and everything else in between. I don't quite … Continue reading I’m Ready
