Oh Sleep, Where Art Thou
Lately, sleep and I have been on pretty terrible terms. Like, we’re talking full-on breakup status. I’m out here busting my butt, running around, doing a million things every day, and what do I get in return? Maybe four hours of trash sleep that does absolutely nothing for me. I…

Letting Go
Today, I’m feeling incredibly proud of myself, because I recently took a major step in my healing journey. I decided it was finally time to let go—completely. I deleted all the photos of us when we were happy, erased the old conversations, and, most importantly, removed his contact from my…

Exhausted
It’s 3:30 am, and here I am, dead tired and struggling to keep my eyes open. Meanwhile, my five-year-old seems to be running on an endless supply of energy, showing no signs of wanting to go to bed. I should be used to this by now, considering that I rarely…

Animal Testing
I’ve always been an animal lover, the kind that gets teary-eyed over those heart-wrenching commercials with sad music and even sadder puppy eyes. But here’s the thing: I’m not some perfect paragon of virtue who hugs trees and eats only air. No, I’m not a vegan, and I do enjoy…

A Little Relief
I’m finally feeling a smidgen of relief from this godforsaken cold I’ve been dealing with. Seriously, it’s like my body decided to host a mucus factory and I’ve been the sole, unwilling participant in a week-long snot extravaganza. For days, I felt like I was drowning in my own snot…
