The life-changing power of an unconventional subway ride
I can only imagine it started like this. She was bored on the train as she headed out late at night. The car was otherwise empty, and her favorite song started to play. She is vibing and decides to film herself. In that moment she became London’s Tube Girl. While I have no intention of…

This isn’t recess
You have to stop waiting to be picked. Choose yourself. You are (likely) no longer a kid at recess just trying to get into a pickup game. You don’t need to wait on the sidelines waiting for someone to look your way and choose you. That is not how this works. Yes, there are a…

Thankfully unsuccessful
I am writing this on Thanksgiving Day here in the states. Obviously, I have to write about what I’m thankful for. I just want to say thank you to all of you who have ever come across this blog and given it a read. And I am even more thankful that this page is experiencing…

The question to ask yourself every morning
TI woke up and thought, “What is one thing that I can do that will bring me closer to my goals?” The answer was exercise. I got that done. It is almost as if whatever happens today, I was successful. Where I got this idea from was from, I’m not quite sure. Was it a…

Does future you really need those jeans?
Perhaps you are like me and trying to figure out how to save money. Well, one way might be to stop buying so many things for future you. You know who I mean. That person you hope to one day be. The one wears a different size, the one who goes to fancy dinners, the…
