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.

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 … Continue reading February 19, 2019

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 … Continue reading November 19, 2018

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 … Continue reading November 12, 2018

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 … Continue reading November 5, 2018

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 … Continue reading October 29, 2018
