Don’t stop now
At some point, I came across someone on the internet mentioning change happens not at all, and then slowly, and then all of a sudden. The moment I remembered those words, I was able to reground in the efforts that I’m making to try and change my life. Things are hard right now. It looks…

Maybe I’m not lazy?
I am rushing to write this before I head off for my second job. I am doing this because I am trying to maintain my streak of posting every day. As I scramble to get this post, I am thinking maybe I am not lazy. I post everyday on a blog that I started for…

I’m sorry I wasted so much time.
I spent so long worrying about what you think of me. Foolishly, it never occurred to me that you never did. That is not to say that you didn’t say things about my appearance, bring up my failures, or try to make me feel small. You did all of those things and said all of…

So many choices
How are your resolutions coming along? At the time I’m writing this, we’re not even two weeks in to 2025, but that doesn’t mean things will have been perfect. I for one am doing a reassessment. I started with a lot of good intentions. It is time to start getting more specific. I know what…

Oh to be consistent
I’m still in the “new year” mindset, possibly fueled by all of the content all over social media pushing me to believe this will be my best year yet. But now two weeks into the new year, it doesn’t feel that way. I started with big scary goals, but the effort to match just isn’t…

There will be no download
“Happy New Year! I’m still waiting for the new me to download.” I sent the text as a play on the commonly said phrase, “new year, new me.” It was a joke, but based on how I spent my day today, it seems I believed my words to be true. As I made my pizza…

A year of mistakes
I should not have said that to my co-worker. I should not have sent that text. I should have followed the GPS. That was the wrong shade. I am going to be so late now. I made so many mistakes this year. What a successful year. Early this year, I set my resolution to make…

Taking on the main character mentality
I was at an event. I could have networked, but I sat idly by as my coworker worked the room. I told myself I was just an observant person. Upon reflection that was a cop out. I was just nervous about the awkwardness of trying to meet/be rejected by new people. It was a fairly…

Squirrel!
I watched the squirrel dart into the street. I knew better than to try and swerve around it as it tried to make a decision. The choice seemed obvious. Head back to the safety of the grass away from the incoming car, but here it was confused. I wonder if that is what I look…

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…
