    My mom had a lot of little sayings that she would repeat to us — and they came with a lot of wisdom. Some of these are quotes that she took from friends or other people. But she made it her own! Everything is worse at night. When I was having a lot of anxiety…

  • Things I learned from living alone

    I learned how to overcome fear When I first moved out and lived on my own in my late twenties, it was a little bit scary at times — but not terrifying at all. And after the first year, it came very natural. I had to be a little more conservative, like avoiding coming home…

  • The Disappointment of Taylor Swift’s “The Life of A Showgirl”

    Note: The header image is a stock photo of a model – not Taylor Swift. I wrote this post several months ago about my disappointment with Taylor Swift – as someone who closely followed her music and career over the years.

  • Song Analysis | “I See Fire” by Ed Sheeran

    “I See Fire” by Ed Sheeran is possibly one of my favorite songs ever. Although the song was written for the 2013 film, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, I find so much meaning in the lyrics outside of this franchise. I’m not a huge Lord of the Rings fan, so I can look at…

  • When is the last time you laughed?

    Everyone should ask themselves… when is the last time I laughed? I’m not talking about a little smirk or a polite chuckle. When is the last time that you laughed so hard that you cried, or you laughed so loud that people could hear you from a mile away? When did you last throw your…
