Pesky Little Pieces

Powerless negatives that we allow to have all the power. — I’ve recently started thinking about the choices that I make every day whether it be at home, work, or school.

Soul, Hold up your Middle Finger Proudly

Today is just one of them days. — Today is one of those days that I want to crawl into a deep and dark hole and just exist. I want the darkness to cover my skin and blanket me in a soundless and sightless environment. No noise. No lights. Just me. I want the world to stop for…

It’s NOT up to Anyone, but YOU

Remember that as you frolic through this beautiful life. — I think we all are looking for our purpose in the world. I think it is everchanging within each and every one of us. Purpose. Such a small word with massive meaning. I often cower in the shadows of it, because I feel like I lack the willpower to stand…

I’m 30 and Finishing my Bachelor’s Degree

It’s never too late. — Well, guys, I’m 30. I’m 30 and I’m just now finishing my Bachelor's degree. Am I ashamed? Nah. I spent my twenties figuring out who I truly was. I spent all that time trying to ensure no stones were left unturned. I lifted a whole hell of a lotta stones…

Medicated and Proud

Sometimes you need help to feel normal and that's okay! — I know I should care more than I do right now. I am just going through a really weird stage in my life.

People Manager

Your people are your most important asset. — Over the course of my life, I’ve had a lot of situations not go my way. I’ve had job supervisors turn me down. I’ve had jobs tell me that I’m not good enough. Not firm enough. Not a great manager. I’m too nice. The list just goes on and on. …

Dear Arkansas Heat

I’m melting. — I was not built for this kind of heat. I was not prepared for you to show up and destroy my comfort. Threaten my life. Make wearing clothing super uncomfortable. I don’t wanna swim. It’s too hot. I don’t grocery shop. It’s too hot. I don’t wanna check my mail…

I Turn 30 this Year

Here is what I’ve learned so far. — Hey? Guess what?! I turn the big 3–0 this year, and I’m excited! Yea, that's right. I’m pumped about entering my thirties.

Don’t Think; Just Do

Before your brain can change your mind on a task, just simply do it immediately instead. — I’m a procrastinator. I simply wait too long to finish tasks. I know something needs to be done and I’ll run around doing 400 other little/easier tasks instead of doing the one BIG task. I also think my brain is all about this “treat yo self” mentality and I’m getting…
