We choose the ones that motivate us and create excitement towards our passions. What's hard — choosing ourselves. … Continue reading I Choose Me
The other day I did a massive closet clear out. My closet wasn't in the worst shape, but it also wasn't in the best — because it just wasn't functional. Everything was all over the place, and there really wasn't any rhyme or reason to where things were. Though after I spent numerous hours sorting, organizing, … Continue reading How To Stay Productive
One of the most joyous parts of life is meeting new people and developing new relationships. It's a breath of fresh air to connect with new people, new surroundings, new anything.
