The balance between my wants and fears
Recently I thought about all of the people full of potential we have lost too soon. All of the people who still haven’t made their mark. How I still haven’t made mine. I considered the amount of anxiety I have when it comes to putting myself out there. The amount of fear I feel is…

Saving money or getting my money’s worth: Just reflecting on how I want to travel from now on.
As I began writing this post, I was staying at a hotel in Boston with my family. I booked hotel nearby where we would need to go. My choice was driven by the combination of that convenience and cost. Wow, I realize how spoiled I was staying at the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge. What I…

I write about skincare pretty frequently. But if you were to ask me about what products I use in person, I would probably shy away from telling you. For one, it may not work as well for you, but also because I don’t want to be judged for investing so much in it. As I…
