Paris Thoughts vol. 2

Continuing from my previous post, here are some ramblings from having the time to self-reflect on how 2022 affected me and what I hope to bring into 2023 from those experiences. It’s the beginning of a new year which means that it’s also around the time that people start to set goals, resolutions and aspirations […]

Paris Thoughts vol. 1

The following thoughts are tidbits that came to me while on vacation this past week in Paris, France. There’s no sort of order to them necessarily, but it’s just commentary on life that I started to think about while having the chance to slow down and relax. My mind finally wasn’t consumed with my work […]

6 Years in Los Angeles

Why hello there. I know it’s been two months since I last wrote anything, and do I ever have some updates… but those will come in time. Instead, I wanted to write a reflection piece given that my 6 year anniversary of moving to Los Angeles is today. It’s probably best to start with some […]

Another Year.

2015 – The year I had hoped would be radically different from 2014. In some ways it was, in some ways it wasn’t. As I approach my 26th spin around the sun (as my good friend Nate used to say), I wanted to take a look back and discuss a few things that I haven’t […]

Broadening Your Horizons

So the title may be pretty vague… what am I referring to exactly? What should you be broadening? In short – anything and everything that you have the chance to. I have to admit that I have lived a pretty sheltered life, and as a result that has made me somewhat narrow sighted. At one […]

A Tricky Concept Called Independence

So I was going to start this post off with the definition of Independence… but it keeps redirecting me back to the word Independent. Let’s go with that then, according to Merriam-Webster: Independent – not requiring or relying on something else adjective – in·de·pen·dent For a long time, I thought I was pretty independent due to the nature […]

A letter to my younger self

Let’s just get this out of the way now: things don’t get easier. You currently spend your days going to school, eating junk food, and then coming home to watch Pokemon. Sometimes you make things interesting by adding in some gaming to your TV sessions. You don’t have a care in the world and your biggest […]

Concluding 2014

I did have a third category of discussing things that I’ve learned from being in an advertising career for the last three years, but as I am currently an active job seeker – I will refrain from any comments that could be misconstrued at the moment. I will definitely touch on this topic eventually! In […]

Friendship

What a year it has been for friendships… let’s start with the harsh fact that I realized this year: life happens. Well that’s quite a generic statement, what do you mean Tyrell? What I mean is a few things. This year I had two of my closest friends move to other countries where a “short” flight […]

Relationships

Where to start? I guess we could go chronologically but the fact is (and in life), nothing happens in order… there is always a mix of things happening at once. I guess one of the biggest impacts this year was going from living and seeing my ex-girlfriend on a daily basis to nothing at all. […]
