Ocean Shores, WA – Photo by Grace Moore A version of this post was originally published on Medium. I have depression. I have ever since I was a young teen, though I didn’t know it at the time. All I really knew when I was a teenager was that I was miserable most of the …
Among all the other changes that have happened this year, 2020 also became the year of working remotely. Now, I’ve worked at home for almost five years, and I have to say that I still don’t do it as effectively as the approximately 82,000 articles on the internet filled with work-at-home suggestions and hacks seem …
Photo by Steve Johnson on Unsplash I first wrote this post in April and published it on Medium. While where I am currently living isn’t in a strict quarantine, there are still a lot of restrictions on socializing (Whether people actually follow that is another thing, but that’s a post for a different day). And …
Photo by Hailey Kean on Unsplash Last year, when I started getting daily, life-interrupting headaches, I wasn’t prepared for how much my life was going to change.

I’ve scrolled through pages and pages of blog posts, Instagram posts, and Pinterest boards, looking for inspiration and feeding my wanderlust. In all my time consuming travel-related content, I’ve gotten a lot of good tips …

Happy 2019! Now that we are almost two week into 2019 and just about everyone else has already posted their year-end reviews, I decided it was about time to do mine. I didn’t blog much for the month of December. And while I didn’t mention it here, I posted on my Instagram at the beginning …
I’m kind of a wimp. I’m not saying this because I’m looking for someone to tell me it’s not true or for sympathy. I’m just stating a fact. I’m not physically strong. I get tired easily. I’m what you might call “sensitive.” If I eat the wrong thing it can really throw my body off, …
