There are times when, watching someone narrate their life, I am eternally grateful to hear their story. I love learning about the little facets that make up a random stranger; what is hidden behind the curtain they present to the world. I believe that is the most exciting part about making new friends: slowly watchingContinue reading “THE PEOPLE WE MEET ARE THE PEOPLE WE LOVE”

WHAT I WANT TO DO WITH MY LIFE
A year and a half ago, I wrote a blog post titled ‘What Do I Want to Do With My Life?’ I sat, frustrated by the fact that others appeared to know precisely where they were headed and the steps they would take to reach their goals. Nevertheless, I remained confident that I was justContinue reading “WHAT I WANT TO DO WITH MY LIFE”
SAY YES NOW, FIGURE IT OUT LATER
In my lifetime, I have said no to a lot of things. “No, I can’t dance at this party if no one else is going to”. “No, I shouldn’t order the burger since they are ordering the salad”. “No, I don’t mind taking on that extra responsibility“.

SometimesContinue reading “THE SEASONS OF LIFE”
WHY YOU ARE NOT INSPIRED
As a child, I was wildly creative. I genuinely did not care what others thought of me; painting on walls and writing my own music, and making movies with friends. Growing from this carefree child into who I am today, I ultimately lost the time and, with that, the fervor for creating. My days wereContinue reading “WHY YOU ARE NOT INSPIRED”
DATING IN HIGH SCHOOL
In case you aren’t in high school, let me explain to you how dating in high school is both the same and different than dating in the “real world”. In high school, there are a number of status symbols and things that make you look good that shockingly, don’t solely encompass materialistic items. If IContinue reading “DATING IN HIGH SCHOOL”
