Today was my last day of PT! Woooooo! I’ve been going for probably 8 weeks and I’ve worked really hard to follow instructions. But today I was deemed good to go! Yay! Last night I was running (love love love love) and listening to Kelly Roberts’ podcast, Run Selfie Repeat. In it she was discussing Continue reading

A year ago (yesterday, 1/23/16), I wrote a letter to myself and gave it to Patrick with instructions. I told him to give it to me whenever I seemed like I was struggling or in need of some self-wisdom. He decided to give it to me yesterday, a year after I had written it. Lately Continue reading

there’s a lot happening this year. a lot. but I also feel at my most still and peaceful than I have in really long time. so bring it. “I know not all that may be coming, but but be what it will. I’ll go to it laughing.” “Three things in human life are important. The Continue reading

^^yeah, what the heck is that about.  Here in college-land, hell week is upon us and finals are approaching. This is the time of year when students start (if they haven’t already been) pulling all-nighters, drinking coffee & redbull cocktails, taking focus-enhancing drugs that I never remember the name of, and ultimately making sure everyone Continue reading

In lieu of some long-winded essay about my thoughts, I’ll just give you this: stop forcing what you know won’t budge. relax and leave it to the wind. in some beautiful way, it works out. always.

This has been tumbling in my head and heart (I guess) for a while now, but I never get around to writing it down because it drives me insane to sit down to write and feeling like my words make no sense. I really dislike not being able to do things, so being unable to Continue reading

HI IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME ultimately I’ve spent my time away from here trying to seek out inspiration, balance stillness and peace with work and school, and trying to seize the moment. life is cool. also still as confusing and unpredictable as ever, but that’s the best part! here’s to fridays and physiology Continue reading

Today I had somewhat of an epiphany, I think. I’ve been struggling with the thought that I typically care more about people than they care about me. Which probably sounds pretty self-deprecating, but it’s one of those nasty insecurities that I can’t ever shake entirely. Anytime that thought occurs to me I always find myself Continue reading

You know what’s absolutely crazy? The fact that we think we’ve all found absolution. We tell ourselves we know who we are. We know what we want to do with our lives. We know the type of person we want to marry. We know the general progression our life will follow. And I know I Continue reading
