Generally, you don’t need to find an alternative to something just because it’s challenging. Suppose you want to participate in a spelling bee, but you’re intimidated by other competitors. In that case, you don’t…

It’s December 31st and I’m wrapped in a blanket on my couch, excited yet sad… 2024 has been one of the best years of my life, both personally, and blog-wise. I’m in disbelief of how far this blog has progressed. There are 65 posts (not including this one) and that means there were roughly 5…

🌻Things That Have Made Life Feel Okay Recently😊
It may be Autumn, but The Beach Boys are still on repeat. If Kokomo lifts my spirits, I’ll allow it to. Dry Creek Wrangler School on YouTube, and DeWayne, the channel’s creator, may be my favorite source of wisdom daily. Sometimes things are just hard, and all you have are the small things. Sometimes no…

TMT: You don’t always need to understand your feelings 🤗
Gosh it’s been a minute! I’m so glad to return to a TMT. Things have been chaotic but TMTs bring a little routine to my life. Today’s TMT is about not understanding your feelings.

TMT: Why I changed from a Bougie to Simple lifestyle and mindset
Something I never realized about myself, about 2-3 years ago, was that I craved designer handbags (and 4-5 years ago) I loved luxury for its logos. Granted I was very young at the time and was heavily influenced by fashion vloggers and celebrities. Nonetheless this is damaging to one’s sense of self. Even adults experience…

TMT: A rant on childhood
I think a lot about the longevity of life, it’s substance and how to make the most of my childhood. There are days when all teenagers sit at home and waste away, and whenever I have one of those days I think about how if I don’t seize every day, then I’m giving up my…

TMT: Taking extra care of the animals on our planet 🐢
Today’s topic is a result of recent events that have inspired me to discuss the lack of care many people have for our earth’s animals. I’ve seen this carelessness firsthand, as well as online. Two examples that stick out to me are: Let’s discuss number one. That baby turtle was oh-so-adorable. It was kept in…
