qualities to consider when choosing a mate →
Sorry for all the posts, I’m at home sick today and am getting carried away by all these fun articles.
I’ve never been a person to have specific traits for “my perfect guy” or a long checklist of things I look for in a guy. Of course, he better not be an asshole and has to treat me with the respect I deserve.
But this article is right in so many ways. If we want to be...
make your 20s better →
These articles on being a “twenty something” are getting cliche and overstated, but there are quite a few on this list that resonated with me:
6. Don’t allow your mood to be directly linked to your bank account balance (It’s hard not to let lack of resources affect your mood, but it’s definitely taught me to make better decisions and make the most of what I have.)

I’m getting tired of people telling me I’m crazy over this. Geez people! You’re not the one jumping into the fire, couldn’t you at least hold my hand as I jump instead of adding to the fire? Geez!

When it comes to big decisons, trust your gut →
Came across this article this morning and I’m really glad I did. I made a rather brash decision this weekend and even though it’s somewhat risky, I’m completely at peace with it. One of the best advice I’ve received is that when you are unsure or are deciding on something, go with the option that gives you the most peace. Or the option that makes your heart happy.
So I...

the freedom to be you →
I came across this article this morning and wow….it feels like an answer to a lot of questions. Call it a life crisis if you will, but we all go through a phase of figuring out how to identify ourselves beyond the mud of expectations, reputation and stereotypes. It certainly gets painful, overwhelming and mind-numbing; but if we’re able to break free from that mold there’s so much freedom of...
