As promised, back with another short Q&A based on some of the self-reflection questions asked by WNRS (we’re not really strangers). Today’s questions revolve around my past, and how it continues to affect me presently. I’m sure a lot of us have things we continue to bring forward that aren’t needed, so hopefully this helps […]
Looks like I lied back in February when I said that I would try to write more; as I haven’t sat and typed words on this blog in almost 3 months. Well, rather than dwell on this, I figured I’d use it as motivation to launch a new format on here called ‘Q&A’ as a […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I figured I’d do a bit of a check in with how things have been going lately… spoiler alert, it’s been a tough year. As some know, I was laid off at the beginning of the year when the food company I worked for ran out of cash flow and the board voted to lay […]
I’ve been quiet on here lately… so I figured it was time to do a little writing on a topic that I recently discussed with my therapist a few weeks back. We’ve been diving into my dating history as I’ve had a string of unsuccesful relationships and I’m trying to do some soul searching to […]
**This is an excerpt from a chapter on boundary setting in my upcoming book** You’re going to have people or things in your life that probably make it easy to let your guard down, which is a great feeling and how I picture things SHOULD be when you surround yourself with those that you love. […]
So I had a mini-breakthrough yesterday after chatting with a friend of mine in the morning… I am constantly seeking external validation. The context of the conversation was actually in regards to my recent dating experiences, but I realized it extended well beyond that. Simply – I am always yearning for recognition by the individuals […]
You may be asking, where the heck is part one? Well… I wrote it many many years ago here. I figured it could be good to revisit what I’d want to tell myself if I had the chance to speak to him, just incase what I wrote at 26 didn’t hold up. Surprisingly, a lot […]
