There are no podiums here
It’s important to take note of those moments when you feel most confident. When you feel most comfortable and expressive. What topics do you know the most about? What people do you open up to the most? What environments make you feel calm? This is all great feedback. This is the you that you want… Continue reading There are no podiums here
Platonic Relationships
Friendships are special. There’s so many stories (film, tv shows, books) out there about romantic relationships and familial relationships but not as many about friendships. Why? They’re the most fascinating ones for me. Romance can be cheesy to me! And we don’t pick our family, so that’s naturally complicated. But platonic relationships, they’re basically like… Continue reading Platonic Relationships
2nd wedding anniversary
When I was younger, I thought love was fireworks. An opening of the chest, tearing out of the heart so that it can only beat in the palm of another person. But that hasn’t been my experience of love. My love has been quiet. Refined. A comforting, knowing whisper in my heart. A knowing that… Continue reading 2nd wedding anniversary
What My Japan Trip Meant for Me
People use the term “changed my life” and “life-changing” too lightly. This Japan trip was only 10 days of my life, can I say it was life-changing? I guess that remains to be seen. But I know for sure that I am changed having gone. That it meant so much to me. That I’ve unlocked… Continue reading What My Japan Trip Meant for Me
Japan Trip Reflection – cultural differences and the beauty of Japanese life
I can’t believe the trip of a lifetime has come and gone already. I have struggled with how to write this blog post. Where do you even begin with such a life-changing, awe-inspiring trip? I don’t want to just tell you what we did - my husband will be uploading YouTube videos and you can… Continue reading Japan Trip Reflection – cultural differences and the beauty of Japanese life
Growth, spring and what it all means for me this year
I’m not quite at the big 3-0, but my turning 29 in under a month feels important. Like it’s my last chance to send off my 20s with a big hoorah. It’s sort of like wrapping that decade in a bow and saying “this is what it meant; this is what I learned” and taking… Continue reading Growth, spring and what it all means for me this year
Little shifts in my mindset lately…
I’ve had two little shifts in the way I look at things and what I’m doing that I’m hoping will have a big effect on my little life. I just thought I’d share… How I approach my internal struggles and anxieties This is a big one, actually, not small, but the result feels the same… Continue reading Little shifts in my mindset lately…
A few things I’m trying for spring to improve my happiness
Spring is slowly creeping in (although I’m still wearing my big coat when I’m outside!), and so I am thinking about what I can do to ensure I’m more productive and happier. Winter (and the start of 2024 in general) has been rocky for me. My mental health has fluctuated a lot. I’ve allowed myself… Continue reading A few things I’m trying for spring to improve my happiness
The Age Panic and Our Mental Health
Work hard while you’re young. Travel while you’re young. Date around while you’re young. Learn while you’re young. Start a business while you’re young. Don’t wait too long! Have a baby while you’re still young. Settle down into a home you’ve bought while you’re young. It’s embarrassing to wait too long. It sounds like society… Continue reading The Age Panic and Our Mental Health
