2020: That’s a Wrap!

Generally, around this time of year, I write out my reflections and reminisce on all the good that came my way. I’m not going to lie; writing out this post has been a bit of a struggle for me. When I look back on the past 12 months, I am shrouded with disappointment. I wishContinue reading “2020: That’s a Wrap!”

Maybe I’ll cry tomorrow

Some of you have noticed my absence on here, and I just wanted to touch base. As I mentioned in a few posts before, I’ve been in isolation months before this quarantine took effect. I would say that I’ve been a homebody for almost 6 months now. Being home has been a challenge on myContinue reading “Maybe I’ll cry tomorrow”

Sleepless Nights

I usually have a hard time falling asleep. Even when I’m exhausted, my anxiety seems to thrive during the night, and it can take me hours to just doze off.

Have you ever been so stressed that your body has just given up on you? There are times when I try to push through discomfort and stress, but sometimes that ends up making me sicker in the end.

Not sure if you want kids?

I’m a firm believer that if you have already decided if you want kids (or not), you’ve already made up your mind, and it will not change in the future.
