A travel memory

Celebrating a milestone for the site
This post marks my 365th day straight of posting. I set a goal for myself to be consistent for one year straight and achieved it. What have I learned? Honestly, that I’m capable of more than I let on. I was able to keep this habit going by while traveling, when my schedule was jampacked,…

My emergency car kit, well for beauty emergencies
It’s happened to the best of us. You pull up to your location, ready to go. Then you take a quick look in the mirror only to realize that you in fact are not ready to go. You don’t even want to be seen; you look a mess. For emergencies like this, I am starting…

Begging for validation
The woman was in a rough patch. I have no idea how long it had been or if she ever got out of that struggle. All I know is that she was asking for a ride and I was willing to offer. It was a short trip from where I had met her to her…

Be weary of reviving the ancient dinosaurs of your past
You know, I recently saw a post, which I can’t verify was true, but it was about how scientists have revived some ancient species. My first thought was, “Has science fiction taught us nothing?” The cautionary tale of Jurassic Park is all about the dangers of trying to bring back ancient dinosaurs. The lesson is…

And all the world’s a film set: Treating your life like a movie
It’s midnight and you can’t sleep. You’re still thinking about what that woman said to you, all those years ago. It’s 3 PM. You’re exhausted at midday because the job your parents forced you into is draining you. It’s 7 AM. Your eyes spring open. Your first thought is a list of all the things…
