Inner Musings of a 20-Something Millennial

I’m going to get a little candid here, so fair warning. As I sit here, in my car at a local beach at 1:45pm on Easter Sunday, I contemplate some big decisions. I was offered a promotion at work last week. It comes with a pay raise, more responsibility, job mobility, and a career path. …

Walking on a Dream

Have you ever felt stuck? Didn’t know which direction your life was going in or what career you were meant for? SAME. However, this weekend that changed. It’s pretty well-known that I enjoy photography. My aunt, a few weeks ago, had asked me for a print of one of my photos for her foyer (a …

Relapse Realization

This blogging adventure began with me discussing my eating disorder recovery journey, but I know that it’s been more than that, discussing topics either close to or far from that original topic. But we’re going back to the roots this week. I’ve recently become a full-time employee at my job, and with my work schedule …

Disconnect to Reconnect

Lately I’ve been feeling lost, not knowing exactly what direction I’m going, feeling stuck. I sit there daydreaming about where I’d like to be, thinking of ways to get there. I miss having a creative drive, and time to act on it. I’ve been so stuck that I haven’t been inspired or motivated. How do …

Work it Out

Has this ever happened to you? You’re going about your workday, your mood is fine, and then one thing happens, whether it be a phone call, an email, or an encounter with a coworker, and suddenly you feel this overwhelming sensation of sadness. Maybe it’s my overly-sensitive self, but this mood shift happened to me …

Nap Time

Let’s talk about naps. How many times in your adult life do you wish you could nap whenever you wanted? Work, classes, daily stressors all lead us to want to nap, but as adults it’s hard to find the time. I personally end up napping for about 20 minutes when I get home from work, …

Interviews

I’m going to talk a little about job interviews this week. So I recently went on a job interview, which followed a phone interview earlier in the week. The phone interview was great! I felt confident and excited about the interview to follow. Then the interview came. Upon reaching the location, I was greeted with …

Chill Time

This week has been a bit stressful. People are calling out from work left and right, forcing others to pick up the slack, and my classes began. All of that being said, I decided to practice a bit of mindfulness to keep calm. At the beginning of last year I had partaken in a 10-day …

The Anxious Traveller

I, like I’m sure many others, have travel anxiety. What this means, for me at least, is that before I embark on a vacation or long travel time, my anxiety takes over. The excitement I once had for the adventure turns to panic the day of. This makes it difficult for me to pack, to …

Out and About

How do you know when you’re ready to move out? Is it something that you’re forced to do or a decision you’re allowed to make in your own time? Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time in the city, and every time I visit I’m more and more ready to make the move; I …
