‘if you’re going to focus on what’s gone – at least notice the space it left for something new’ oh a lesson that took me almost two years to learn & one that i still have to remind myself of when i feel a mood coming on! i spent the better part of the last […]
who will you be??
‘life isn’t about who you once were, it’s about who you are now & who you have the potential to be’ super, duper similar to the last quote i posted but it’s something that i’m still stuck on after all of the sweet comments & messages i’ve received. i teared up more than once reading […]
leaving the past alone
‘even if you could go back, you wouldn’t belong there anymore’ but for a long time, i really, really, really wanted to! it’s the thought that rolled around in my head at 1 in the morning when i should have been sleeping. it’s the thought that made me cry in my car when i was […]
putting your foot down
do you ever want to throw your hands up in the air & scream ‘STOP’ at the top of your lungs? at yourself? when your brain or your heart or your emotions are just racing & getting louder than ever? that’s the image i picture in my mind when i feel things getting out […]
coming back
did anybody else’s june feel like it just went on forever & ever?? the whole month seemed so emotional & to be honest – kind of terrible – & i feel like it sucked everything out of me, including my creativity & my desire to write anything. which was maybe a good thing… i spent […]

making the most of the moment
‘if you feel it – go with it & go for it!’ a nice thought, but today i’m not going for anything except my fuzzy jammies, tea & a coen brothers movie. i wish i was achieving great things today… but i’m not. not at all. and there’s no real reason why. i’m just not […]
false starts, starting points & new beginnings
how are you spending your weekends in isolation? do you get a weekend? or has this whole event blended into one long, endless weekend for you?? i’ve been working from home for about a month now & i still get ‘weekends’, which i spend watching movies, gaming & eating pizza with my dad & the […]
& it all counts
we all have our story… & we’re writing it every day… even if we don’t realize it… this long weekend when i was decluttering & going through some old junk, i found some journals from the last couple of years. reading through them i was surprised at all the happy moments that i had […]
good, yet bad. broken, yet beautiful.
have you ever felt good & bad at the same time? like happy but still kinda sad all at once? it’s a weird place to be… but here i am… this long weekend i’ve had lots of down time to go through old notebooks & old pictures on my phone (telling myself i’m […]
