Moving to a New State has Taught Me More Than I Could Have Ever Imagined
I’ve been incredibly vulnerable, honest, and true to myself. I’ve poured my heart out and have had it smashed to pieces. I’ve learned some incredibly difficult lessons. I understand the value of time spent with someone, when to hold my tongue and listen, and when to speak up if I’m uncomfortable. I’ve learned what I want out of my life, who I want to be, and what I will no longer tolerate. I’ve started therapy and learned mourning my old life is normal. I’ve grown and changed but still pieces of me remain the same.

Do Yourself a Favor and Check-in on Yourself Often
Screw trying to follow some perfect order of life that isn’t even real. Screw feeling bad because I’m single at 27, and not knowing what I want to do in my career path, and for still learning about where I want to live so I move a lot. Screw staying in relationships that aren’t right for me or holding back about still feeling sad that something good ended BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS REALLY FREAKING SAD. Screw waiting for someone else to bring you flowers, buy yourself the fucking roses. Screw any negative expectation that is holding you back, because you’re exactly where you should be.

Month Three – It’s About Following Your Intuition
Moving here has been the bravest most challenging thing I’ve done for myself. I walked into a new life not knowing the friends I would meet or the roots I would plant here but I went anyways into the unknown. A type of courage, a type of pain. There is still so much to discover and still parts of me to understand completely. Yet, I know now I’ll be just fine with whatever is thrown my way because I move intuitively.

Even Writers Lose Their Words Sometimes so Here’s Something Else
I think sometimes we forget how lucky we are to live such easy lives. That our only concerns are feeling a bit lonely, a little lost, slightly sad but incredibly blessed. I know how beautiful life is, I capture it every way I can. I try to hold onto moments and soak in sunshine. I fall in love with poetry and books. I immerse in quiet moments but live for chaos. I believe there’s more good in the world than bad. And I hope wherever you are and whatever you’re facing you can enjoy your little moments too.

A Letter I Never Sent You
I was holding my breath waiting for the pain to come crashing into me. There were so many fearful moments wondering if this was it. But when it finally happened I knew without a doubt. And yes it hurt like hell, a certain pain you can’t prepare for – and even now my heart stings. But I have to thank you for being strong enough for both of us because the anticipation of the end was so daunting I could barely think straight.

Me, Myself & I
How to achieve alone time when in a relationship. Have you ever heard the term, date yourself? I used to do it all the time while I was single. It’s the idea that you take a day all to yourself. If you’re like me that day includes a big glass of red wine, and some very quiet alone time. It’s the day I spend thinking about myself and myself alone. Taking time to read a book I bought 3 months ago, write a blog article for the week, or just zone out and turn on Friends. But when you get into a relationship, it’s hard to find that night all…

This one is for the girls who put their whole hearts into everything they do, even if it means they get nothing in return. This is for the girls who often feel alone, stuck in a gray zone. Looking for closure and receiving no answers. This is for the girls who keep trying no matter how many times they get hurt. This one is for the guys who keep their music up too loud and a tough face on. For the guys…
