It’s no secret I’m mostly an introvert (or maybe it is because I’m an introvert 🙂 ). I love spending time with my friends but I also enjoy spending time on my own. I live in my head because I’m always thinking. It takes me a while to process things so I don’t always think … More Notes from an Introvert
I’ve made no secret of the fact that people acting inconsiderately or like flat out jerks to me or to other people really grinds my gears. Specifically when people cut in line or are impatient in general. It wasn’t until today that I realized that my hatred of such behavior doesn’t just come from that … More Behind
There are a couple of very important things I’ve learned of late / am trying to remember to apply on a day-to-day basis. You can’t fight asshole with asshole: What does such a profane statement possibly mean you ask? It means I’ve come to realize you can’t always try to squash out people being assholes … More Lessons Volume III

One of the things I love most about music is its ability to transcend time. If it’s an especially good song, it will resonate with people … More Talkin’ Bout My Generation
I’ve been kind of off the blogging grid lately. I’ve been reflecting a lot on this idea of inspiration and what my blog actually does vs. how self indulgent it is.

I came across some TEDTalk podcasts today at work and was struck in particular … More The Art of Conversation
(I’m going to preface this post with the fact I am not in a place to believe what I wrote here. I admittedly wrote it a few days ago when I was in more of my typical positive frame of mind. Today, I’m exhausted from people and think that a hermit lifestyle sounds appealing but … More Life’s Obstacles & Curve Balls
If you can’t beat em, join em! And if you’re home sick…blog! Ok in all seriousness a friend sent me the link for this incredible article today on one of my favorite sites that tackles the topic of living with a disability, The Mighty, and it absolutely had to be shared. Because there are so … More Daily Inspiration: the Mighty
It’s a shame that I think all of us (female and male) come in to contact with mean girls at some point in our lives. With the age of the internet and social media, unfortunately the ability to be truly mean and cruel has magnified ten fold. I know I wouldn’t want to be a … More Mean Girls (Not Starring Lindsey Lohan)
The above article popped up on my Twitter feed today from the Huffington Post. Being that I’m the author of a blog based around the idea of inspiration, the title naturally called out to me.
