My rantings, musings, and the overall verbal diarrhea of optimism that leaks out of me.
I just recently finished the short novel And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks by Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs. This was a very unique story, told in alternating perspectives of two prominent characters in the story: Mike Ryko, written by Kerouac, and Will Dennison, written by Burroughs. It was written in 1945…
I feel my happiness coming back. It’s been a slow process, but it’s returning, and I can feel the warmth spreading through my body. I doubt myself less often. I feel encouraged, supported, and appreciated. I have rediscovered the love of family, the love of friends, and the love of myself I had so carelessly…
There are so many types of love, it’s cruel that the English language has granted us so few words to describe it. I’ve encountered a variety of different versions of love as an adult, ranging from the purest, deepest, most selfless variety to the fickle, frenetic, and superficial kinds that leave a hole greater than…
If I could live my life over again, what would I do differently? I’ve been asking myself this question a lot lately. The last two years have consisted of countless changes in my life, a lot of evolution, and, as a result, a substantial amount of introspection. While my list of regrets is long, I…
This will be mine one day. One day. I am so happy to be in a workplace where I am constantly in view of my goals. This beautiful baby is in the office where we have our post-show meetings, so I get to have a constant visual reminder of what I can and WILL achieve…
I’ve been craving a new tattoo for almost a year now. I had promised myself a new tattoo to celebrate my graduation (back in October 2013), but I chickened out/got negative peer-pressure. Most of my friends are not into tattoos, so many of them suggested against it when I announced my intentions the weeks prior…
There are so many things in life that can disrupt our days. So many wrenches that can be thrown, cracks to trip over, and negative circumstances to arise. Today, I decided to list the things that make me happy. As many as I can think of, and as quickly as I can think of them.…
I’m very excited to announce that I will be attending FlBlogCon 2014 here in Florida! The event will be hosted on Saturday, September 20th at Full Sail University‘s gorgeous campus in scenic Winter Park, Florida. There are some major speakers at this year’s event, including Ted Murphy and Robin Draper (among many others). To say…
Came across this quote today and it made me happy. That is all. ~ Victoria Elizabeth
At thirty years old, I am constantly learning how little I know. I must frequently face my own nescience and come to terms with the fact that there is always someone smarter, always someone more creative, and always – ALWAYS – someone more talented that will beat me in every battle. With this recurring dose…
