Being Kind Will Always Be the Higher Road
This world is full of good and evil and it is always so hard to stay positive when surrounded by the negativity of the harsh reality of life. This is why we need people who care about us, love us, and encourage us in our lives. This is where we can find our strength and hope when we feel as though we are no longer able to protect ourselves from letting the negativity consume our lives.

One Cupcake at a Time
Beginning... Again. I know it's super cliche, but my life just got turned upside down all over again. My husband won't be living with me for a few months due to work obligations, and I just left the job that was making me miserable. For the first time in a while, I feel truly free. I feel like my dreams are closer than ever now and that the sky is the limit to what I can accomplish.

Take a Freakin' Picnic!
My daily routine goes something like this: wake up early, head to the gym, go to school, go to work, then go back to sleep. Boing, boring, boring. Every day, same times. It gets quite cumbersome and on my Sundays off, I try to let myself rest. Throughout the week, I think that when Sunday comes around, I am going to sleep in, eat good, and laze around the house, and at the time that sounds lovely.

Go for It
I have worked full time while going to school for a while now. The money was good and it paid the bills. However, I was not happy with who I was and where my life was. Making the decision to want to leave my full time job to no job, and focus on my business was not something that I did without thought. Many hours were spent talking with my husband, planning and making sure we would be stable, all went in to this idea. I would not have been able to even start my business without having a full time job that presented me with these opportunities, for that I am grateful. I went from being miserable, depressed and negative every day therefore, creating problems in my relationship and myself to being bright, happy and positive in every aspect.

Maybe IDK
I'm 25. Some days (and they seem to be coming more frequent) I look around and wonder what the hell I'm doing with my life. Life looks much different than the "when I turn 25" dreams my younger and more naive self had. Different how? In every way, except for the fact that I finally turned 25. Sure, that doesn't sound so bad. Life happens, right? Yup. But that's not the part that often sends me into a legit depression. It's this: I don't know what to do now that I am 25 and life doesn't look like what my younger and more naive self dreamt.

Getting Past the Stress
Stress? Screw. That. Shit. I'm serious, we don't have the time for that, I don't and I'm gonna wing it there and say that you don't exactly enjoy worrying non-stop. Its the extra baggage weighing down on your life. Trust me, it is so flipping unnecessary.

The Art Critic
I don’t find anything more beautiful than the mind of an artist. We are creators, dreamers, thinkers and more. What I’ve always heard about artists though, is how we are more sensitive to our emotions, whether we are more open to feel them or they are felt more intensely. This has been known for a long time, we know this from Van Gogh, Michelangelo, and so on.

Falling in Love with Yourself
I am a 32-year-old woman. My body feels older than that though. I know how that sounds to people who are older. However, unless you have several different medical issues going against you, you wouldn't know how it feels to be 32 years young and not feel energetic and full of life. You may try several different things to bring back your youth but in reality, there isn't anything that can turn back time. There isn't a magic potion or pill. In life, all we really have is a mirror and photos of the past. Yet, if we dwell on all the negative things that we have had happened in our lives, we become a shell of the person we use to be. That isn't good for anyone.

One Day Closer to You
So I was picking up my favourite Vietnamese takeout one typical Friday night, and the owner - who I know reasonably well since he is the one feeding my addiction- asked me why I was “so dolled up” and if I was getting up to some Friday night excitement. I laughed and told him I was going to eat my takeout order for one alone on my couch, but thanked him for the compliment… I feel like many single women destined to spend a Friday night alone would have been crushed by this comment. I’m grateful for the strength and humour I’ve gained over the years to help me laugh these things off instead of fleeing into the arms of an instantly gratifying dating app.
