    There are a lot of things that I want to do in my life. That never ending bucket list if you will. But for me, this list has become more about finding myself so I can find the things that I enjoy doing. Really, it’s just that I want to be able to tell people…

  • Keeping Up

    Keeping up is impossible these days. At least, it seems like it for me. There are only so many hours in a day and I need to remember that. I can’t get everything done every single day. Which, as a pathological people pleaser is hard to remember. I’m struggling to tell myself that it’s okay…
