All this time I thought intentionality had to be rigid. Schedules, routines, habits, patterns that you lock into your life. I've tried time and time again to bring rigidity into my day-to-day, thinking that if I just get the right patterns going I would solve all my life's problems: eating healthy and exercising, maintaining regular … Continue reading Creating The Life I Want

Maybe Someday We’ll Figure All This Out
As of last January I no longer experience depression or anxiety as mental illnesses. How/why is a long story for another time. Meanwhile, I've spent the last seven months adjusting to who I am and what I'm capable of without their constant, debilitating presence. It's been so much more difficult and complex than I thought. … Continue reading Maybe Someday We’ll Figure All This Out

Author Update
Howdy y'all! Erm. Sorry. My boyfriend has been turning me into a country girl. I didn't realize it had been so long since I've been here. It makes sense, though. I sort of went through a super intense manic phase right after my last post, which ultimately led to my divorce. In April I moved … Continue reading Author Update
