What Lies Underneath the Surface?
In a month I turn 26 (cue mid 20s existential crisis). I'll be closer to 30 than 20 and if that's not enough to make me feel old I don't know what is. Lucky for me, I like getting older. I like growing and learning and evolving into the best possible version of myself. I… Continue reading 25 Lessons I’ve Learned so Far
This one goes out to all of the people going through fertility treatments/procedures in hopes of conceiving. It also goes out to their support system, wife, husband, partner, best friend, roommate- whoever has truly got their back! It is also dedicated to people who aren't so helpful. I in no way think anyone is being… Continue reading Things to NEVER Say to Someone Going Through Fertility Treatments/ Infertility
I remember it vividly. I think I was in the first or second grade. We were asked to dress up as the profession we wanted when we grew up. I, without hesitation, began planning my costume in my head. An artist. It was simple. I wanted to paint, and make art in whatever way possible.… Continue reading What do You Want to be When You Grow up? At 25 I still have no idea.

Here are a few things I learned along the way. Quit anything that hurts your soul. I have spent so much time and effort working jobs, maintaining… Continue reading Shit I Learned in 2018
Note: This post will be written by no other than Doby, the dog (@dobythedawg on Instagram). I woke up today, and it was like any other day. It was rainy which meant likely no walk... but then, mom turned on the fireplace and invited me for special couch cuddles where she doesn't ask me to… Continue reading My Dogs Birthday
Wow- it's been a while (again). One of my fatal flaws is I can be inconsistent...surprise, surprise. In my defence, in the last 5 months I've moved, gotten married & gone to Italy. So I mean, life has been busy... Okay, that's an understatement. Life has been so insane I barely realized how insane it… Continue reading Back to Blogging/Post Wedding Blues
