The Burnout

Friday, July 29, 2016


At times I find myself not feeling like blogging & I can never quite pinpoint why. This space I've created is my baby, a safe haven of inspiration (hallmark, much?) and I love every second of it. But the thing is,

sometimes I don't.

Don't get me wrong, I don't not love it on purpose, obviously. & I guess we shouldn't expect ourselves to love blogging every minute we do it. There are sometimes when life gets in the way & no matter how much you want to blog, you feel stuck. 

Am I the only one?

I always want my content to be 110%, to pour my soul into it & for that to be palpable, but I think sometimes I still put too much pressure on myself to just churn posts out. Someone, tell me WHAT THAT'S ABOUT. I know I'm not the only one that struggles with the balance of it all. 

LET'S DISCUSS: how do you avoid/ deal with blogger burnout? Any tips are helpful.....

I Take Up Space.

Wednesday, July 27, 2016


My sister didn't get a B until her college years. My first B, however, was in the unknown territory that was the fifth grade. No matter how much I tried to hold out, that reading class just had it in for me. I was devastated, to say the least. 

Looking back I can pinpoint that as the first time I've truly compared myself to someone else.

The question is: WHY? 

I often wonder how much time out of our lives we spend comparing ourselves to other people, believing we're not good enough on our own. We take up too much space. We're too loud. Too quiet. Too everything. For reasons I can't quite comprehend, we never seem to be happy with ourselves. Maybe that's why I find myself still wishing I was more extroverted, (i'm way cooler online, believe me) more creative.... whatever whatever.

BUT. 

I take up space. I take up space. And that's okay. Spending so much time comparing yourself to someone else leaves little room for living your life, & that is not okay. You are allowed to take up space.

Recent Music Loves | WDAC Playlist

Monday, July 25, 2016

Every once in awhile some songs come along that just HIT, ya know? I feel like a lot of these are repeats from other playlists I've shared, but what can I say? I like routine.

Anyway, I've compiled a little playlist to get you through the start of your week:


I LOOOOVE Miranda's new song & the fact that it actually sounds like it's being played on vinyl. More of that, yes? 

What's your favorite on the list? Any I missed?
