When I first started this blog, I tried to write three blog posts a week. When I couldn’t keep up with that, I decided to write two posts a week. Eventually two became one, and one somehow became… None. I wish I had a reasonable excuse for this, but I don’t. One day I just [...]
Picture this: it’s the end of the day, you’ve had dinner, you’ve showered, and you’re ready for an early night.

Last week I didn’t write in my blog at all. I meant to – I just didn’t. I’m a bit disappointed with myself. You see, I was doing my best to commit to writing two posts a week, and for the first time since I began this blog earlier in the year, I didn’t. I [...]

Most people think they’re too busy to keep a journal. If you’re reading this, you’re probably one of them. However, keeping a journal has been a really important part of my “growing up” process. Now that I’m in my twenties it’s been a helpful tool that I use to cut through all my insecurities and [...]
