Shit No One Tells You
I had the pleasure of writing about potty training for Eat. Weep. Mum. Repeat
Learning to Fail Through Crochet
Who knew picking up a hobby I have done on and off over the years would turn into a great lesson and example of my progress with the middle.
When You’re Not Good Enough for Imposter Syndrome and Realizing You Were Failing for a Different Reason than You Thought.
I’ve been working on a piece about imposter syndrome for a few weeks now. As usual, I find that if the words aren’t flowing, that means there is something wrong with the premise of the essay I am writing. I finally realized today, that I couldn’t write something about being an imposter, when I feel […]
Is Self-Care Important?
Spoiler Alert: Yes, Self-Care is Important. I almost hate talking and writing about Self-Care because of how it has been turned into a gimmick.

You are most likely not the best at everything. Frankly, it is safe to say that you are not the best at most things. This is not a knock on you and I am not a magical witch who can see you through the computer screen and know everything about you. Statistically speaking, only one […]
Learning to Embrace the Middle
I have always been a future oriented person. I am always looking to and thinking about the next thing. When I was younger, I always wanted to be older. In high school I couldn’t wait for college, in college I couldn’t wait to be out on my own, out on my own I couldn’t wait […]
