To thine own self be true.

Every day when we wake up we have the opportunity to make a choice about which path we'll take, there is a positive one and a negative one. Each path is unique to each person given their circumstances, goals, fears, experiences, et cetera. Being aware of the choices we make, observing why we are making them to make sure they aline with our values and staying true to ourselves during the process is one of the most courageous things we can do. And it is something we MUST do to stay authentic to ...

Hopeless v. Hopeful

Today has been a bit of a roller coaster so writing a blog post only seems fitting. Writing is the most therapeutic thing I do for myself so I'm glad that anyone is reading it can possibly relate; connectivity is what keeps us human.

As you know, conflict can be defined as a struggle between two or more forces that creates a tension that must be resolved (although in some stories, as in real life, it isn't). The traditional breakdown of conflict is: 1) Man vs. man (external) 2) Man vs. nature (external) and 3) Man vs. self (internal) Conflict is important in relationships because it provides the ...

Love me not, Tinder.

We never plan on being alone. No one desires it and every aspect of our lives is geared toward being around other people and having a partner. As you can figure out from reading my blog, I'm single. It is an interesting time to say the very least ... It seems as though every person I know has their opinion on whether I should should stay single or if you should jump into the dating world. It's nice to have input from people that you love but at the end of the day it is truly up to each of ...
