Oftentimes we get stuck in a cycle of hatred. A cycle of feeling bitter towards the world for all the things gone wrong and all the things we haven’t managed to quite get a handle on. We’re bitter about our past and all the people that wronged us, all the failed relationships, all the struggles. […]

I know that I generally write about relationships, love, eating, etc etc. But today I really want to take time out to write on something that is so important in our world today and something that is seriously lacking. I recently left a job at a large banking institution due to the many many unethical […]

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what leads to true bliss and happiness in relationships. What the magical combination of ingredients is that leads to true everlasting love. Now I realize that many people will say that there is no such thing as everlasting love, but I’m going to adamantly disagree with the […]

… I bet you’re like.. did this girl just tell me never to compromise? She must be batshit! Webster Dictionary defines Compromise as the following: an agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions.. “Each side making concessions”… sounds like we’re all willingly signing ourselves up for disappointment.

(This is your super sweet reminder to refresh those goals before it’s November!) Thinking about New Year’s resolutions and how so […]

Today I listened to a podcast which discussed how we have to be our best selves at all times, regardless of how people are to us.

I didn’t grow up in a family that was big on charitable giving – we gave old clothes and such away to family and friends and whatever was left went to the salvation army.. but that was about it. Somehow, I ended up being a person that might be borderline obsessed with finding ways to […]

I used to think that there is always something in life that we have to settle for. How many people do you know that stay at a job they hate? Stay in a relationship with someone who is “fine”? Stay in crappy apartments because it’s a process to look for something new? We all know […]

November 5, 2015 Leave a Comment
If you’re anything like me, you’re prone to over thinking every single action, text, phone call, or the lack of any of the aforementioned items. I have suffered an unmentionable amount of anxiety and unhappiness because of my ability to find something to overanalyze in every single situation in life, relationships, friendships, and everything in-between. And […]

Okay, I’m officially drawing a line. There is a very big line between what actually exists in reality, the voices in our heads & the red flags we seem to attribute to various occurrences in our relationships. I can’t tell you how many times my friends have come to me asking if something is a […]
