Dear Diary, I think I have a case of the winter blues... I'm feeling uninspired, unmotivated and just downright down. Every task has become a chore; going to work, going to the gym...everything. My birthday is fast approaching and the excitement I usually feel every year isn't the least bit present this year. I had …

Dear Journal, A few weeks back, I drove out to Georgetown to pick up my fiancée from work. I didn’t want her driving in the snow so I was her Uber for the day. Everybody knows the road conditions have been pretty bad due to the snowfall. On HWY 410 as we were coming up …

Dear Diary, Welcome to 2019… Its been a minute since and I wanted to reflect on 2018... 2018 was a year of lessons and growth; I spent the year doing a lot of moving around between jobs and homes. It was such a huge stress and hassle, and I had to spend my birthday moving, …

Dear Diary, Here is the introduction to my mini-series: A Love Story : Fate I remember it like it was yesterday. Two tag alongs "taking one for the team".

Dear Diary, It's the final day of 2018. I had to put some things on a brief hiatus this year (such as writing and traveling) to focus on other tasks, and now I'm ready to get back to doing the things I love! In terms of goals, I'm not going to say much except I …

Dear Diary, It’s been almost 5 years since I lost 50 pounds. When you’ve spent a majority of your life being “bigger”, body dysmorphia is still something I struggle with on a daily basis. My mind at times gets disconnected with my current physical state and resorts to my old self. I cannot help but …

Dear Diary, I'm about to be a mom! I mean like a mother! Someone's number one go to...that’s so crazy to me. I always knew I wanted children, even though I use to tell people I'm never having any (just so they would stop asking me, when am I going to have any - y'all …

Dear Diary, I am 28 years old.  No children, not married (not even in a relationship), living at home and definitely not in my career.  Some of that is by choice, and some are just circumstances of life. But I am writing it and sharing it because I am owning it! I believe far too …

Dear Diary, I’m over this year. Maybe it’s the sudden change in weather or maybe it’s because I don’t have any major events to look forward to for the rest of the year but I am over it. People start reflecting on the year in December, but this year I’ve been reflecting every month. This …
