A few months ago, I was going through a not-so-great time in my life. In short, I was in a rut caused by a lot of different circumstances in my life. But I’m not here to recount that. I am here to share what I learned throughout this time and how I got out of … More The Power of Connection
In the past few months, I have been noticing an interesting trend where people lament their lives because there aren’t enough opportunities for them. Maybe we need to start changing how we understand opportunities. For so long, we assumed or were led to believe that once we’re old enough, the right opportunities would come our … More Creating Your Own Opportunities
Taking up space – the one thing I am terrible at and have to work on consistently. I never liked it when people took up too much space. When they sucked all the air out of the room and encroached on my personal bubble. As a response to this type of character, I spent my … More Taking Up Space
It’s been over a month since I have sat down to write something. Beyond your basic email or paragraph, I have not written anything down. That time and space I’ve taken from writing have allowed me to understand my relationship with writing in a way I had never considered it before. For one thing, I … More What Not Writing For Over A Month Taught Me
In the past few months, I have noticed how any time I am faced with a situation that I know I need to sit with for a while, I immediately gravitate towards my phone.

I’ve been thinking lately about what could have been. What would happen if I didn’t run in the opposite direction? What if I just took that one step? What if I was bold? What would my life look like if I had done certain things? I think we all get lost in the ‘what if?’ … More What If?
By now, you have probably noticed that I tend to read a lot, and all that reading means that I have gone through quite a few books. But, as every reader will know, there are usually only a select few that stand out to us enough to recommend. So here we are again with yet … More Books You Need To Read Part 2
Becoming the person you have always wanted to be, is a long process. It requires you to make a promise to yourself every night before bed that tomorrow you will try again, and it requires you to act on that promise every morning. It’s not an easy promise to keep to ourselves, and oftentimes it’s … More Becoming Who You Want To Be
I used to believe that closure was a given. But, throughout the past few years, I have realized that that perspective was a tad naïve. If anything, closure is reserved for the lucky situations and more often than not, people never get the closure they deserve. Closure is not guaranteed, so why do we constantly … More Closure
When I was young, I absolutely hated reading. My parents would have to set a timer and practically force me to sit down and read, but anyone who knows me now and sees my reading habits, would not think that little kid and I were the same person. When I started high school, books became … More How The Book Industry Has Changed
A few weeks ago, I talked about how we need to start showing up for ourselves more, and I wholeheartedly believe you should always show up for yourself. But something else I have been reflecting on is how our generation tends to be when it comes time to show up for others in our communities. … More Showing Up for Others
