Thoughts on life, friendships, adulting, and all the above


Is it just me or…?

Learn how you’re really not the only one feeling the way you do. Life is messy, and we’re all just trying to figure it out.

  • Drinking from the Well

    Something I can’t stop thinking about is, well, myself. I’ll admit. I’ve become (or maybe have always been) entirely self-absorbed. I’m not proud to say that, but I don’t think I’m merely speaking for myself here. Let’s be honest: all of us are a little self-absorbed to come capacity. Every morning when I wake up, Continue reading

  • Well, that’s embarrassing.

    Let’s talk about the realities of growth. If you don’t know by now, everyone should be intentional about growing – growing into a better person, daughter, mother, sister, student, follower of Christ, friend, etc. One of our natural responsibilities in life is to be on the pathway to always bettering ourselves. We are not called Continue reading

  • Are you really resting?

    Is it just me, or does down-time seem hard to come by? Is it that you really don’t have the time to rest, or do you just not know how to rest? I could have a 4 hour window in the middle of my day where I have absolutely nothing going on and still come Continue reading

  • An Honest Update

    I am in such a weird season in life. I remember being a kid when adults would ask me what I wanted to do with my life. I would elaborately explain to them the exact, highly detailed plan I had. Since the time I was about 8 years old, I was always fully prepared to Continue reading

  • The Benefits of Burnout

    The amount of caffeine, Charles Stanley devotionals, FaceTime calls with Mom, and ABBA I’ve relied on to power me through this week has far exceeded the average. Never in my life have I felt so behind in all my responsibilities (thank you, chemistry 1211) and also so overwhelmed with emotions and big life decisions. Yesterday Continue reading

  • Don’t rush me.

    Disclaimer: this post is worthy of a large cup of coffee and a comfy spot to Sip&Read. I absolutely cannot stand being rushed. My family will easily admit that not only do I have terrible time management skills, but whenever anyone rushed me, I would grow extremely frustrated. I’m talking hot flashes, sweating, panicking, turning Continue reading

  • Just walk in.

    I am hanging on by a thread right now. I have been in college for only 12 days, not even 2 full weeks yet. I haven’t gotten good sleep once, I have no idea how to keep up with my assignments, my rug keeps shedding, there’s dust all in my room that just won’t go Continue reading

  • Bring your dirty laundry…

    Bring your dirty laundry. I’m sure it won’t take long to find. In my short 18 years of living, I have yet to meet someone who has never had at least a few dirty clothes lying around. It would be naive to think that we are all capable of having a wardrobe that is always Continue reading
