On Wednesday April 29, 2020 there was a fire at my apartment complex. Wednesday started out as a normal day for me but ended in a way I never expected.

Why not Workout?
Working out hasn’t always been a thing of mine. People assume that because I’m petite and have a slender frame that I’m “in shape.” Totally not true.

The Hate U Give
So… I usually am not one to watch the movie before reading the book and I promise you I wouldn’t have done so, but I remembered I saw the movie while reading and I was very upset with myself. It’s just not something I do so I felt like I failed at life (yes I’mContinue reading “The Hate U Give”

Please do better…
In 2019 I feel like the least someone can do is communicate efficiently. Now, I know not everyone knows how to, or can’t always put their words together, but that doesn’t mean you can’t try. My biggest pet peeve is when I’m friends with someone and then that friend feels some type of way andContinue reading “Please do better…”

Today I learned a valuable lesson. While I may think I’m giving the best version of myself as a friend, and I’m the “strong friend,” the one who’s always positive and checking up on others and tries her best to listen and advise those she loves the most.
