Sometimes things go disastrously off course. Other times, things don't go anywhere at all. The last few months have been very blah. Not bad necessarily, but very stilted. I feel like I hit the pause button on my life, and I don't quite know how to hit play again. Even the steps I've taken to… Continue reading Oops.

hello from the other side
So uh... how about that April, eh? Yeah, I got away from this a bit. And everything else. April was a pretty empty month for me.

Hardly any other progress was made. SO. March goals, yeah! We need need need to get unpacked. I seriously want to… Continue reading “Six more weeks of hibernation” is over.
To quit or not to quit?
Unpopular opinion time... I believe in the cathartic power of quitting. Being a "quitter" is seen as weak. People love to act like sticking with things makes them a martyr, like they're somehow better or stronger for refusing to quit. Whether this be a hobby, a partner, a job, quitting things that aren't working is… Continue reading To quit or not to quit?
