Fired to Fearless Exactly two months ago, I was fired from my job. Not laid off, no company-wide restructuring—just terminated, in what may have been the most callous and cold manner I’ve ever experienced in my career.There are a myriad of reasons for why it happened, though to be clear, none of them to do with my performance. I’ve never lost a job before. I...
Growth is not linear. Healing is not linear. Life is not linear.
If I inherently believe the world is good, then goodness too must exist in me, but I must choose to seek and find it, each and every day.
Quitting is the Easy Part Today is my last day of work. Tomorrow I will officially be unemployed What a feeling. Or rather, more accurately, what a plethora of feelings. Relief, joy, sadness, confusion, happiness, peace, trepidation, overwhelmed, anxious, ecstatic. I don’t know which emotion to feel first or which takes up more space in my heart and brain at...
My Incompleted 2019 NYC Summer Bucket List Review Summer 2019 was definitely one for the books. I can’t remember a period of my life that has been more of a roller coaster and I was living for every second of it. I traveled to 4 cities and 1 new country, but my favorite part about this summer was how much time I spent exploring my own city. Earlier this summer...
My Hotlanta Take Atlanta, or Hotalanta as the ENTIRE world corrects me every time I say it, is quite a unique city. It is fairly spread out, so unless you plan to just stick to downtown you’ll probably need a car. On the upside, it is full of hidden food gems, lots of casual beer hangouts and a very laid back Southern vibe. If you’ve never been to the...
Reclaiming Memories At some point this moment will become a memory. Most of the seconds in your life will blur into a general space, where you can’t really tell time apart. But then there are the pieces that stay with you and become an entirely different kind of memory, the kind that lasts forever.Sometimes they’re the big, magical kind. Like when a...
LA Lovin I am definitely enamored with LA. It’s no New York City, but it’s not too far off. In my mind, it will forever be the land of sunshine, brunch and beautiful people. It does of course have it’s flaws (looking at all you TERRIBLE LA drivers & your atrocious traffic). However, over the course of at least a dozen trips in the last 5 years I...
Reintroducing Me to Me **I’ve debated writing this post for a while now. I do want my blog to be a source of inspiration and joy for others. I also want to be someone people trust (for all their travel needs) and if I portrayed myself as this happy, free spirited person 1000% of the time, 365 days a year, I would be a fraud. So here’s a tiny, honest...
Summer is Essential Summer is hereeee and I couldn’t be more ecstatic! Sunshine just makes my heart happy. Lots of people go away for summer but to me it’s the perfect time to stay and explore your own city and surrounding areas. I already wrote about what’s on my summer bucket list (if you haven’t checked it out and you’re in the city...
