I Don’t Want To Be Your Other Half
Why do we search for love as if we have something missing? As if we need something, someone to make us full? Why do we believe the search for love is the search for ourselves? When in reality, love is not about looking to be solved, but to be complimented. To grow together, yet separately, as […]

I Was Broke All The Time And Deep In Debt Until I Started Following The ‘Three Day’ Rule
It was when I saw the disappointment on my mom’s face when I asked her to borrow money for the 10th time to fix my car that I knew I couldn’t keep living in perpetual debt. My W2 taunted me by showing me all the money I had earned knowing that I had saved absolutely […]

We Don’t Say Goodbye Anymore, We Just Disappear
We don’t say goodbye anymore. We just stop responding to their messages or answering their calls. We pretend like we don’t really know them when we see them, we act like strangers, we act like we didn’t hurt them and we underestimate their pain. We’re too self-absorbed to consider their feelings so we don’t even say […]
