PostIKEAism. Discovering that you’ve evolved from the days where you used to use the IKEA ‘shopping list’ tool to plan out your perfect pad, to a more critical state of mind that’s capable of seeing the deficiencies and lack of quality often found in their products. It feels like growing up and looking back at […]
Step by step. Moving forward. One step forward – three back. The amount of actual thought and decision making that goes on during our daytime hours is shockingly low. Even after careful hours of poring through the news, we are still receiving only the watered-down facts presented and stretched by the ownership of the media. […]
Every single day is a reminder that life is blowing by at a rapid rate, and I often feel as if I am attempting to sink my nails into the screeching fast-paced rate at which time is blurring past our faces. Stop the boat. I saw an interesting graphic the other day that reminded us […]
Shuffle. Shake. Remix. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Blink. Shake. Wake up. Years gone. Time flies. Wrinkles appear. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Twenty-six. 26. Time flies. Stop the boat.

Taking the time to write down my thoughts in this blog is one of the few guilty pleasures I seem to not indulge in on a regular enough basis. The things that we need the most are often the things we take care of last. From proper nutrition/exercise to the relationships we have with our […]
The clickety-clack sound of a New York City subway brings back an instant sensation of the smell and surroundings that go along with it. That screeching metal sound, paired with the semi-quiet sense of calm that occurs just before a train comes roaring through the station. Cold winter mornings and dirty tile steps lead down […]
One of the things I’ve recently been pondering is just how much is that we become my parents children as we grow older. We really do pick up the “Sins of our fathers “as we grow older. From scheduling my first visit to the orthodontist to purchasing health insurance for myself and making sure that […]
You know your mind is changing when you realize that the people you surround yourself with, in friendship and conversation, begin to look less like a copy & paste version of you.
