What’s the point of loving someone if they have to keep guessing how much they mean to you? I think about this quite often. We spend so much of our lives trying to appear composed. We learn to hold back our excitement, keep our emotions in check, and act like things don’t affect us asContinue reading “Let’s Get Loud”

You’re Just Marinating
I loved this post I saw on Insta the other day. It said, “Biryani is literally rice that went through heat, pressure, and a little chaos and came out more valuable and desired. You got this, you’re just marinating. Soon, you’ll be biryani.” I laughed when I read it, but the more I thought aboutContinue reading “You’re Just Marinating”
The People Who Make Life Feel Lighter
Some people have a way of making a difficult day feel a little easier, even when nothing about the day has changed. The problem is still there. The conversation you have been avoiding still needs to happen. The bills still need paying. That decision you have been going back and forth on is still waitingContinue reading “The People Who Make Life Feel Lighter”
Lose Track of Time
Some of the best moments in life are the ones where you forget to check the clock. You sit down with an old friend for what was supposed to be a quick coffee, and suddenly three hours have passed. The conversation has wandered through childhood memories, embarrassing stories, people you’ve lost touch with, and thingsContinue reading “Lose Track of Time”
The Art of Making People Feel Enough
You can tell a lot about someone by how people feel after spending time with them. Some people have a way of making you feel comfortable within minutes. You find yourself speaking freely, laughing at your own silly jokes, and sharing things you would normally keep to yourself. You leave the conversation feeling a littleContinue reading “The Art of Making People Feel Enough”
Feel It. Own It.
You can be angry without being cruel. You can be hurt without hurting someone else. You can feel jealous, disappointed, frustrated, or completely overwhelmed and still have a responsibility for what you do next. That’s something we often forget when emotions run high. We’ve become quite comfortable telling people that every feeling is valid. AndContinue reading “Feel It. Own It.”
Leave It There
Some things take up far more space in our heads than they deserve. A conversation that ended badly. A decision someone else made. A message that went unanswered. Something that happened months ago that still manages to find its way into our thoughts when we’re trying to fall asleep. We replay it. We imagine whatContinue reading “Leave It There”
The Colors They Have
People can only paint you with the colors they have. Someone sees you as difficult. Someone else thinks you’re brave. One person calls you quiet. Another feels safe around you because you listen. You can walk into the same room, say the same words, behave exactly the same way, and leave behind completely different versionsContinue reading “The Colors They Have”
You Don’t Have To Stay
You can love something and still admit that it is hurting you. That can be hard to accept. We tend to believe love should make us stay. If we care deeply about a person, a job, a friendship, a dream, or even a version of our life, walking away can feel like betrayal. So weContinue reading “You Don’t Have To Stay”
Happiness – Hidden in Plain Sight
We spend a surprising amount of our lives looking at what is missing. The bigger house. The better job. The next promotion. The holiday we have been saving for. The car we want to upgrade to. The number we would like to see in our bank account. There is always something just beyond where weContinue reading “Happiness – Hidden in Plain Sight”
