My many musings on life, love, and everything in between.
Dating Woes
Lets talk about dating tonight. What is it? What. Are. Dates??? I know they're a fruit, right? The last time I went on an actual date was around April. It was a good date too. I met a young man at a club one night, (this is how all modern love stories start) and...
26 and Worried
In May I turned 26. I had a good birthday despite being stressed about being rudely kicked off my parents health insurance. (Pro tip: Get all your health insurance crap straight prior to your 26th birthday. Apply for Medicaid, hopefully you'll get...
100 Days of Blogging
There are 100 days left in the year starting today. Hopefully no more black people will be unjustly murdered in the next 100 days... I've been a pessimist most of my life, but lately I've been trying to turn over a new leaf. If you've been keeping up with my blog...
Lessons in Gratitude
A few weeks ago while on my break from work I went to Starbucks. There were two men sitting outside and from the way they were dressed I could tell they were homeless. As I was leaving one of them asked me if I wouldn't mind helping the homeless. I told him I...

I struggle with this statement. For as much as I tell myself that I don’t need to rush to get my life together, the more I feel that I should have it together by now. I realize that I’m young and I supposedly have all this time to figure it out. But, sometimes I...
I Never Learnt To Share
I’m not a very open person. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while you may have known that by now. I do not like to share. (Says the girl with a public blog that’s VERY personal). Getting to know me can be hard…especially if you’re a member of the opposite...
When Cooking With Mel Goes Right
Today was a triumph for me, I baked something, and it actually came out great! I'm not completely horrible at cooking I just don't do it often. Baking is an entirely different story. I've only made one successful batch of brownies in my life and all attempts before...
Theme Parks, Crossbody Bags, and my Lonely Existence
It's no secret that I keep a small circle, which has its pros and cons. Well this week I definitely felt the cons. I was recently gifted a season's pass to Busch Gardens Williamsburg (thanks AJ) and I want to make sure I get to use it as much as possible. I did...
