The Why
I suppose in an effort to start with my best foot forward I should explain how I got here. For years I’ve pondered a blog, but never ponied up and put my money where my mouth is. In fairness, I’ve been a tad bit busy the last several years. I came cruising into my last…

Sorry, my serotonin decided not to show up.
Let’s talk about Depression. I know normally I try to find and integrate the humor in things, and usually I do when it comes to my mental health too. But today I want to get real without the punch line. It’s hard for me to address my depression without also addressing my anxiety, they have…

What, like it’s hard?
As of yesterday, I’m finally a licensed attorney. It’s been a roller coaster to say the least, but one I’m glad to have been on none the less. It feels wrong not to acknowledge this accomplishment because I have worked very hard for it, and I have been so lucky to have so many also…

This is the story of a girl…
…Who cried a river that drowned the whole world. Jk (ish) Crying has never been my strong suit. That’s not to say that growing up I never did, I certainly did, but it’s never been one of my favorite things to do. I mean what is the benefit of all the whining? Good grief, rub…

You Give Love a Bad Name
So, I used to have terrible Valentine’s Day Karma. If there was something bad that can happen, bad news to be delivered, anything along the lines of not pleasant (you name it) it’s been inevitable over the years it will happen to me on the 14th. For example, one year my ENTIRE family and I…

COVID Chronicles: A Year in Review
I, like everyone else, am having the sobering moment of realizing it’s been a year since this pandemic started. And what a way to end this year than a natural disaster (shout out Texas weather, Snowpocalypse 2021). A year ago, I was in Boston sitting for the Bar exam completely unaware that there was a…

I have no idea what I’m doing.
I know I’ve spoken before about the struggle I have with sitting still, but I don’t think I’ve explained when I say that I also mean physically living somewhere as well. Growing up I moved..a lot. I often joke, though it’s actually a factual statement, the longest I’ve ever lived in the same place was…

A Word on Anxiety
In honor of May being mental health awareness month I figured there was no better time than the present to finally write about anxiety. My anxiety and I have a really complicated relationship, as I’m sure most people do with theirs, because in a lot of ways I credit a lot of my success to…

A Word on TX SB8
I’m going to be frank, yesterday I was furious today I am just sad. For the last five years I’ve watched our country test the boundaries of our Constitution and push our checks and balances to a degree they were designed for in the event of an emergency, not to indefinitely withstand. It is not…

Yes, I’m about four months too early but here I am none the less. It wouldn’t be me if I wasn’t planning ahead, now would it? I have never been a fan of new year’s resolutions, but I do try and set my intentions every year on my birthday for what I want to work…

13 Going On 30
I have reached my final week in my twenties, and whilst in my final countdown, I figured I should reflect on some things I’ve learned this last year. I could do 30 things, but let’s be honest no one wants to read that much. So here are 13 things I’ve either learned or have been…

Fin
I recently received an email reminding me that next month I will have had this blog for a year. When I initially started this, it was always intended to be a year-long project. I first and foremost want to thank everyone who took the time to read any of this over the last year. Reflecting…
