Once upon a time, I took pride in the discipline and willpower I meticulously constructed. I felt proud that I could rise at 5 a.m. to work out before school. I drank black coffee and ate hard-boiled eggs, watching with disregard as others enjoyed pumpkin spice lattes in the fall and buttery scrambled eggs onContinue reading “HI, I’M DISCIPLINED, NICE TO MEET YOU.”

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.

WHAT ARE YOU CONSUMING?
Studying psychology, I learn a lot about biases. A bias, according to Merriam Webster, is an inclination of temperament or outlook, especially a personal and sometimes unreasoned judgement.

COPYCAT
I don’t like to think of myself as an angry or jealous person. Especially because as of recently, I have been working on stepping back from situations that make me feel resentful and trying to examine why that certain situation warrants my reaction. Generally, it is not too difficult to come up with why somethingContinue reading “COPYCAT”
THE CREATIVE PROCESS
From as far back as I can remember, I have loved to create. As a young child, creativity came so easily, I simply put pen to paper and the words flowed out as if a stream coming directly from my mind.
