Breaking a first impression
I have an entire list of things I can’t do. Or rather, I have a list of things I can’t do if I want to uphold a particular image. I want to leave a good impression, even though I haven’t quite defined what that means. All I know is that, I am constantly thinking how…

Turns out I’m not a magician
This is awkward, but I must admit to you all, and more importantly to myself, that I am not a magician. I had been going through life with a set of hopes and dreams, with this vision of how my life would be radically different in three years. I have just come to the painful…

This will be a subpar post
I have about an hour until midnight, or about an hour left to make good on my goal of posting everyday. I am out of ideas. I am tired. I have more things left to do for work. The last thing I want to be doing right now in between yawns is working on a…

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?

Laziness is a choice that I want to make more often
At the end of the day, my invisible to-do list haunts me. It is full of all the items that I knew I should have done but didn’t remember to do or simply put off in favor of something else. I spent the day doing things, exhausting myself, but I had nothing of value to…

I have no idea what success looks like
No one. I can literally think of no one. I’m sitting here trying to figure out an image of what a successful person looks like. I have got nothing. My instant response to that was to assume it was because I am without ambition or a clear vision for my life. The level headed part…

No seats at the table
I often have the sense, when I go to networking events, conferences, and general crowds, that I am the only one. I am the outsider. As I walk around I can the groups of people who are sitting with their premade groups of friends or the custom set they developed at the event. It’s like…

If it all went away
There is a trend among influencers where they discuss what they buy if their collection all of a sudden went away. They go over what clothing pieces they would buy first, the fragrances they would need, and the beauty products they would definitely seek out. They list all of the things that they currently love…

This is the best I’ve got for today
I am struggling to come up with an idea of what to write about today. All of my ideas seem to be taking a lovely vacation. They didn’t put in any notice. I am left here to just wing it, I guess. I wish creativity were something I could keep in a box. I wish…
