Goal Review, #10: Stop Reading the Comments
Hello there! Typically in the month of December I only post lists (hence the title List-cember) but this year I thought it would be fun to deep dive on a couple of my 2025 goals. Namely the less trackable, self improvement type goals, both to see if I still agree with setting them, and to Continue reading

It Still Counts if You Don’t Post It
Shortly after I got my first Fit Bit, my perspective on exercise changed. Suddenly I didn’t just want to go for a walk, I wanted to know how far I went and how many steps I got. I wanted praise for moving, proof and positive reinforcement. I still get excited about the little badges they Continue reading

Five Reasons Why I “Like” a Post (List-cember #6)
The term “like” took on a whole new meaning after the dawn of social media. Now, alongside its traditional meaning of: enjoying/appreciating/admiring something, it means physically tapping a heart or star or some other mystical symbol on your screen.

Take a Step Back
To kick off the new year, my church participated in a 21 day fast. In lieu of certain food groups, I opted to delete social media from my phone, as I felt that it was one thing stealing more of my attention than necessary. And while I expected a bit of habitual reaching for my Continue reading

One of quarantine’s biggest breakout stars (besides Tiger King) has been TikTok, a social media app that lets you share (up to) one minute videos of absolutely anything. Most commonly, you’ll see choreographed dances, themed trends, and one person skits dubbed “POV’s” or “point of views”, but then there are also the wonderful, sometimes accidental, Continue reading

My Decade Recap (As Told by Old Facebook Statuses) (List-cember #7)
I have seen a bunch of posts in the last month where people recap their decade, going through the highlights of each year to cringe, reminisce, feel nostalgic and propel themselves forward into this new decade. When I sat down to do a post of my own, I struggled with what I wanted to share/not Continue reading

If You’re Going to Post, Post What’s True
As a creature of habit, my routine in the morning is almost identical every single day of the workweek. Among pressing snooze a few times, listening to a podcast, and making a (usually empty) promise to myself that we’ll nap later, checking Timehop—an app that connects to your social media accounts and shows you posts Continue reading

Stop Trying to Be Relatable
Have you ever been hanging out with a group of people you only kind of know, so you’re trying your best to come off as someone completely normal and confident and witty and friendly and successful—in a completely casual way, of course—and then suddenly they start talking about something you know absolutely nothing about? You Continue reading
