Music is a huge part of my life. Even when I don't have something pumping in my headphones or I'm not jamming in my car or singing in the shower, I find myself breaking into song. I could hear a word or phrase that reminds me of a lyric in mid-conversation, and I find myself … Continue reading It’s Music To My Ears
Sometimes I don't know how to feel. My mind is telling me one thing, but my spirit is telling me another. I push myself to be optimistic, but pessimism lingers. It's only a little bit longer, I know God, but what if that little bit longer isn't what I want? What if the suffering was … Continue reading You Can…
A year ago today, I graduated with a degree in Business Communication. I have a passion for writing, and I felt as though that major would lead me towards opportunities in my chosen career — journalism. My passion is also one of the many reasons why I started this blog. It's amazing to see so many … Continue reading A Year Ago Today
Being resentful is as easy as breathing. You don't loathe a particular person or thing. You are hateful because you feel gypped, mistreated, undervalued. Why do they get to be in that position when I have worked just as hard as them? Why won’t they listen to me when we have been married for several … Continue reading Turn Resentment Into Joy

It's not because I'm a glass half empty kind of girl. I'd like to think that I see the glass half full. Seeking to … Continue reading Do What You Love
I am 22 years old, which is quite young according to many, but that doesn't mean I haven't had my fair share of trying times. I've dealt with death. I've dealt with heartache. Sadness did not come too far behind, and worry followed shortly after. There have been moments where all I wanted to do … Continue reading This Is Your Teaching Moment

We want to make everyone else around us think that we have it under control. One after the other, they pile up. Depression, anxiety, sickness, painful circumstances, undeniable hurt. Whatever it … Continue reading When It All Comes Crashing Down
Undoubtedly, my favorite time of day is losing the kicks and letting the dogs out after getting home from a long day's work. Though the walk from my office to the metro station isn't far behind. From being sick these past few days, it's safe to say I've been quarantined, drowsy and stuffy. Some days … Continue reading Let Go of It
We’re already on Day 5 of #countdownwithheyujas. Time is flying by. Day 1, 2, 3 and 4 are all here. I know I promised holiday themed posts, but this one still classifies. The holiday season starts in November, so I justify this, and I really wanted to share. At the beginning of November, I participated … Continue reading My First Big Race
