Nostalgia… oh, nostalgia. After becoming an adult, which happened about four years ago when I began getting paid for my time and presence, I never again had the amount of time I could dedicate to just daydream. I could not lose myself in time listening to the songs I used to hear in high school,…Continue readingNostalgia
When I was younger, my dream was to become a famous singer.

I rarely visit widely known websites or talk about famous designers. I make it a daily habit to read about politics, society and the state of the world, spirituality, beauty,…Continue readingThe Importance of Broadening Your Perspective
This is probably the first post I write in non-advisory tone. I literally have no advice for anyone right now. We all have our moments when we need to think and reflect on where we stand in life. This is my reflective moment and it is with relief that I’m writing about my personal journey…Continue readingWhat Letting Go Of An Old Dream Feels Like
