    It’s a strange thing to want more from a life you already love. Right now, I feel the most confident, happy, and content I’ve probably ever felt. I thought turning 27 would stress me out more than it has, but instead, I feel at peace with the life I’ve made. I’ve surrounded myself with people…

    I wish I could bottle up a feeling. Not the fireworks kind — not adrenaline or heartbreak or euphoria — but the quieter kind. The one you get when your dog looks at you like you’re the only thing that matters. It’s not dramatic. It doesn’t need to be. But it’s real. It’s pure. And…

    I was listening to what felt like my very own personal podcast—aka a voice memo from one of my best friends from back home.

    We’re creatures of habit, whether we like to admit it or not. Even the ones who swear by spontaneity, who chase adventure like it’s their life’s purpose—deep down, there’s comfort in routine. It’s familiar, predictable, safe. And breaking out of it? That’s the hard part. Quitting bad habits, trying something new, stepping into the unknown—it’s…

    I’ve been thinking a lot about the different stages we all go through in life. Looking around and seeing where my friends are at and what they are doing. Some of them are married and have been for years, with babies of their own—a whole family to tend to. Some of them are in long-term…

    Another year. Another birthday. Another “this isn’t where I thought I’d be”, but this time it’s actually better. Another “this will be my year”. Another pinterest inspiration board. Another reminder of all the things I didn’t accomplish last year. Another reminder of all the things I finally did. Another day to remind me how much…
