I've been thinking about this for months. My therapist asked me if I would ever consider rebuilding bridges with old friends. She asked me to consider why things fell apart and what I would say. Sometimes, seeing Facebook memories or posts on some of these people makes me think. So here I go. A letter … Continue reading Dear Old Friends…
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and I want to talk about my journey. Over the past few months, I've been focusing a lot of my own mental health, thus my lack of posting. I had noticed that it was deteriorating and making my life more and more difficult. I was having constant panic attacks … Continue reading My Mental Health Journey: Part 3
2019 has been off to a rocky start. And one that I feel guilty calling a rocky start. It could be so much worse. But saying that also ignores my feelings and experiences from this year so far which is what I'm trying to not do any more. Earlier this month, while feeling like I … Continue reading Self Care Spring
Sometimes, you need a no boys allowed girls weekend. Especially when it means being in Boston at a fancy hotel and doing all of your favorite things! Last weekend, I met up with my college best friend for a weekend in the city. We met up in Boston for a weekend of theatre, drinks, and … Continue reading Girls Weekend: Boston
This time of year can kind of suck. Face it. There aren't really any more holidays (Valentine's Day doesn't count), it is cold, dark, and damp. It can be hard to make time to be outside and get some much needed sunshine. Spring is coming though, right? For me, and many others I'm sure, this … Continue reading Self Care Saturday: Feel Good Movies
Growing up, I didn't have a whole lot of people to talk to about romantic relationships and what they were like. I was the oldest sibling and my older cousin who I was close to was a boy so I wasn't going to ask him. My friends didn't really talk about it and, honestly, I … Continue reading I Wish Someone Had Told Me: Relationships
This month just got away from me. Between work, life, being sick, and everything else, January was just a lot. Yet despite the numerous times I felt overwhelmed throughout this month, I now feel really good about heading into February. Especially since I get to kick off the month with a girls weekend trip to … Continue reading January 2019
Last week was absolutely insane. You see, for my day job, I work on the Kid Governor program. I work as the social media manger for both the national program and the Connecticut program. Normally, this isn't totally life consuming and overwhelming but it was Inauguration Week for the Connecticut and New Hampshire Kid Governors. … Continue reading What a Week!
Sometimes, you just need to find something good to watch and do nothing for a while. Personally, I've switched from starting my day with the Today show or the news to watching something on Netflix. The news just sets me up for a rough start and honestly makes me depressed lately. I also love watching movies and … Continue reading Netflix Picks: January 2019
Here in Connecticut, it is supposed to be cold this weekend. Not as cold as it can be this time of year. We've had winters where it is routinely in the single digits or negatives. I guess this weekend is a mild chilly January weekend. With that, it has been a long week at work … Continue reading Cozy Weekend
