Hold on a second while I gather my thoughts... I apologize in advance if this is jumpy, but I just feel compelled to write this out. For the last 2 weeks, consistently, I have felt a sense of urgency. Like there is something missing in my life. It used to be this feeling when I... Continue Reading →
For those of you who know me or have followed my journey for awhile have seen the ongoing, never ending, transformation of my hair. I have had black hair, red, purple, pink, orange, teal, blonde, and galactic colors. Yes I have had "natural" colors, too. I just feel more like myself when my hair is... Continue Reading →
To say things have been tough would be an understatement. (I am not talking about the chaos going on in the world right now). When I was officially diagnosed with things [OCD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, most likely Borderline Personality Disorder, and PTSD] few weeks ago, I didn't know what knowing all of that would mean...

The last 2 years I decided not to make resolutions. I remember feeling like a constant failure every year when I would look back and realize all the things I said I would do, but didn't. I am not very good at failing. I beat myself up over the pettiest of fails. Or, I use... Continue Reading →
Honestly, I am so glad this year is finally over. I went into 2019 with my head held high and it didn't take long for it to start knocking me down. It has been a serious roller coaster ride! I saw this end of the year reflection questionnaire post [ found here ] and thought... Continue Reading →
Well, this isn't Christmas related, but it is important to me nonetheless. Today is my 30th birthday. 30. Wowza! Most people cringe at the idea of aging, but I personally find it beautiful. I don't usually like making a huge stink about myself, but this year I have been a tad emotional about being 30.... Continue Reading →
