Today has been one of those days. One of those soul-enlightening days. There have been several little words, phrases or feelings that have kind of stuck with me all day (thanks to an Alan Watts audio file, some YouTubers, the final episode of This Is Us, and a couple of my best friends - sup … Continue reading A Moment of Enlightenment

How to Be Ridiculously Happy
I feel so strangely happy today. I've felt quite strangely happy most days, recently. Even in the midst of midterms and being hella single on Valentine's Day, I've managed to remain ridiculously happy and full of life (with obvious minor exceptions.. hehe). Every day feels inspiring and everything I do feels worthwhile. Even sitting here … Continue reading How to Be Ridiculously Happy
Don’t Overlook your Behaviours
I just had mini realization. Every time I find myself scrolling through Facebook late at night when I know I should sleep, or checking the fridge for food to snack on routinely every five minutes, I'm usually doing it for one of two reasons. I am procrastinating something. There is something I know I need … Continue reading Don’t Overlook your Behaviours
Positive > Negative
Today I was having one of those mornings where you cannot concentrate on work and have other things on my mind. So, I made a list. A list of things on my mind. I noticed I was writing quite a few negative thoughts, so I decided to tally up the positive and negatives. I … Continue reading Positive > Negative
Let It Go
You can't be perfect. Think about it- once you're perfect, what else is there to strive for? I need to learn to let things go. I can't always be there, I can't always be perfectly on time, I can't guarantee that every time my boss comes to my desk I'm totally on task. That is … Continue reading Let It Go

Devote your energy to something worth while that actually makes you happy. Use your power for something good, it'll … Continue reading Daily Dose: Power
The importance of presence.
Do you remember being a kid and looking up at teenagers thinking "wow, I cannot wait to be that age. They get to drive, drink, go out, do whatever they want!" Do you remember being in high school and thinking "wow, I cannot wait to be an adult. I can live on my own, cook … Continue reading The importance of presence.
A blank canvas.
In my last post I mentioned how my life is sort of like a "blank canvas" right now. I'm just starting school again, I've moved back into my house in London and I've made some lifestyles changes and I am very excited and passionate about (including writing/blogging, veganism/health, mental health, etc). I feel like I'm … Continue reading A blank canvas.
I am still alive and hello.
SOOO I know it's been a while since I have posted.. Seven weeks to be exact. I am deeply sorry, as I know an incredibly large number of people read this blog (did you miss my sarcasm?) This summer has been crazy (in a good way), and a lot has happened. I finally feel like … Continue reading I am still alive and hello.
A Summer’s Guide to Proactivity
IT'S SO DIFFICULT TO START BLOG POSTS SOMETIMES. I think I have deleted that sentence four times now. Five. ~~~ FEEL FREE TO SKIP TO BOTTOM ~~~ Do you ever feel like you have all this energy and dedication but nothing to put it towards. Sometimes when I'm super busy at school I think of … Continue reading A Summer’s Guide to Proactivity
