My many musings on life, love, and everything in between.
The Unhireable Melly Dee
About a year ago I put a moratorium on applying for jobs. I decided I was done with the job search. It's a very dreary process that was causing me to have monthly crying fits and I was honestly tired of changing that one paragraph in my cover letters when I knew no...
$510 by 5/10!!
It's May! My birthday month and Mental Health Awareness month! This year I'm doing something special and asking people to donate to Dreams of Hope Foundation, a local nonprofit that is near and dear to my heart. My goal is to raise $510 since my birthday is on May...
Does Closure Exist?

Taco’s, Waffles, and Dope Shots
I should have written this post last Sunday because I don't think this content is evergreen at this point...oh well. You may have not realized it by now but I thoroughly enjoy my alone time. Every now and then I'll spend one of my day's off wandering around my city...
