Black Friday reflection
I went without. I knew the sale was coming up, so I figured I might as well wait. Why buy it now when it would be cheaper later? I come back to that decision and reassess. Why are you putting off what it is good for you now, what you need now, for a so-called…

You need some cookies, sort of
A few years ago, I was sucked into the David Goggins social media algorithm. If you are not familiar with the ex-navy Seal, he is known for his no excuses mentality. His wisdom is often spouted during distance runs or lifting sessions. He lives and breathes the lifestyle of moving past the limitations you place…

Not coming in like a wrecking ball
For some reason, I thought that I needed to come in like a wrecking ball. I looked at all of the bad habits I had and decided it was time to demolish them and replace them immediately with the good. The problem is that I may have wrecked myself in that process. Trying to be…

Special, special snowflake
It was long used as a pejorative for millennials, but I’m going to claim it. I am a special snowflake. I don’t write that to say that I believe I deserve special treatment or participation trophies just for showing up. I am just over wishing I were like everyone else. Snowflakes form their unique patterns…

I should do my makeup
I pushed away from the computer and decided, “I should do my makeup.” I had nowhere to go and none of the necessary skills, but it felt like the right move. I took the concealer that was a shade that I thought didn’t quite work for me. I mixed it with the color corrector to…

Consistency
I have a great idea that I want to write about, but alas I know that I don’t have the time today to give it the attention it requires. However, I also don’t want to break this commitment I have made to myself to post every day. So here is a consistency post. It comes…

yet another restart
“I’m tired of this. How many times am I going to start over?” And then a small voice answered, “As many days as you are alive.” While I was/am frustrated with myself for having to start yet another challenge to make progress towards my goals, I have a new perspective. It is such a beautiful…

Apparently, I’ll be there, too
Sigh, what I wouldn’t give to escape my problems. Like, if I were a billionaire able to fly into space, far. I’d be so grateful to finally escape all the obstacles I face here on Earth. It’d be worth the thousands, nay millions, necessary to get away from it all. There’s just one problem with…

Lesson learned trapped in a parking lot
In order to avoid getting stuck in rush hour traffic, I left hours ahead of when I needed to be at work. I set up with my laptop inside a Starbucks just minutes away. Thirty minutes before I needed to arrive, I packed up my things to head to my car, only to discover it…

I want to be like a banana
My bananas were overripened. It made me think I want to be like a banana. You add a banana to a smoothie, bam you know it’s there. There is no question as to whether or not it’s an ingredient in the mix. Banana bread. Definitely banana. You add banana to basically anything and it remains…
