So I’m going to be 30 years old in about a week and the good news is I’m not going to cry on my birthday this year. I’m actually so happy to be turning 30 - it’s a big birthday and one that I fully intend to celebrate and embrace.
Read MoreWe all have them. Those relics of our younger years that stick with us forever. It’s almost as if something tells us that while we might not understand or relate to those things then, someday we’ll find their place or meaning in or lives, so we store them away in our cherished memories until that time comes.
Read MoreHello, my friends, it’s been a minute. Life has a tendency to get away from us sometimes, doesn’t it?
Read MoreI say a lot of things in my day-to-day life - most of them completely true. Sometimes I exaggerate, sometimes I gloss over the nitty-gritty, but don’t we all? Where I’m going with this is that I wanted to make sure you all know that each and every word I leave here for you to read is as true as can be said, when it’s said.
Read MoreOh my god, it's my birthday. And I'm a quarter of a century old. I'm so calling BS on this.
Once you hit your mid-twenties, aren't you supposed to be wiser and more mature? Each day I wake up and still feel like a teenager or younger! I still make the same mistakes that I've been making my entire life.
Read MoreI’ve never been one for fads. I know they pass and I have very little interest in being a follower. Especially when the fad goes against my very being. Like gaucho pants… I haven’t a clue who thought those were a good idea, but the thought of them still haunt me to this day. They just go to show that popular opinion is NOT always correct.
Read MoreI’ve always been really into music. I love that feeling when you hear a song and it really resonates with you. When you feel connected to a song’s message, almost on a spiritual level.
Read MoreI have a lot of issues with a lot of things. Pretty much everything irritates to on some level.
As you might have guessed, I’m not much of a people person because of this. Once, at university, I was challenged to make a list of all my pet peeves and read them aloud to a group. I filled a page and then some; people were getting bored listening to them by the end.
Read MoreI’m always up for a good challenge – even if it’s me that’s initiating it.
I’ve realized over time that writing is good for my soul. I get immense amounts of enjoyment out of spilling my feelings in text, even if I’m the only one who reads them.
Read MoreEver get up in the morning and immediately wish you could skip the day and go right back to sleep? Yeah, me neither...
Read MoreYou're always just one decision away from a completely different life. In a similar way, I believe, you're always just one conversation away from meeting a person who will completely change your life, too.
Read MoreI'm just another Millennial taking on life one cup of coffee at a time. My blog Espresso Myself is a place for me to be me, for myself, and for everyone else. Write on!
