Too Cute for You

Tonight I thought about the last few years of dating and my professional life. At many points along the way we get the feeling of “I can’t” when going for whatever or whomever we want. We keep seeing this great-looking stranger, and we tell ourselves, I can’t approach them. We see a fantastic opportunity andContinue reading “Too Cute for You”

Wake-Up Call Wednesday: Dating & Facebook

Wake-Up Call Wednesday! We never like someone more romantically by friending them on Facebook. We start making assumptions and perceiving them in a different way than organically getting to know them. I embrace holding off from friending them until we’ve reached solid ground. We may never be on solid ground, but at least they aren’tContinue reading “Wake-Up Call Wednesday: Dating & Facebook”

Be. More. Invested.

On the brink of graduation and truly for the last year I’ve noticed a lack of investment in people when it comes to our platonic relationships and potential romances. I’m not naïve or lacking the idea that all types of relationships are two-way. Too often people want you to meet them three-quarters down the road.Continue reading “Be. More. Invested.”

Cheers to A New Story

Cheers. Cheers to the late nights dancing to the beat and offbeat with friends. Cheers to the tears shared with friends over moments we’ve grown from. Cheers to the dates we smile about and the ones we remember with dread. Cheers to the moments we wanted to quit and the successes we didn’t imagine possible.Continue reading “Cheers to A New Story”

Flirty Friday 12/27/13

“Flirty Friday” – Friday dating and relationship inspiration as you head into the weekend. Say goodbye, because crushes are fleeting, and a crush is defined as an intense but short-lived infatuation. Say goodbye, because you’re surrendering. And surrendering is not your head down to the earth, but head and arms raised to the skies ofContinue reading “Flirty Friday 12/27/13”

Background Music

I remember a few years ago I was in California and while wandering Palm Springs I went into this random shop. This guy told me my master astrology reading. He said in 2013 or 2014 I would meet the love of my life and in 2017 I would start my own business. I don’t knowContinue reading “Background Music”

Three Years! My Coming Out Anniversary

This month I’ve reached my three year anniversary of being out of the closet as gay and three years feels like a truly special place personally. For the past few months the thought often toyed around my mind of how I’ve never talked to my maternal grandmother about being gay, even though I’ve had conversations withContinue reading “Three Years! My Coming Out Anniversary”

Being 20-something via Thought Catalog

“If a brochure did exist, it would probably tell us this: You will make mistakes and do stupid things for as long as you live. What matters is how we use these to make us better people. At the same time, we’re young enough how to right those things that we did wrong—and to decideContinue reading “Being 20-something via Thought Catalog”

For the Strivers! (And The Hills Fans)

Last month I received the opportunity of a PR guy and girl’s college career – to fly very last-minute to NYC and help a supervisor with a project. We’d both fly back in less than 24 hours from that call. For The Hills fans, it was a moment we thought only existed for Lauren ConradContinue reading “For the Strivers! (And The Hills Fans)”

Bold Touches: Eyes Shaded

Last weekend in preparation for travels, I took a break from working on a class project to grab dinner with friends and buy needed items before packing my bag that night. Tallahassee each month hosts “First Friday” in Railroad Square, and there is a vintage store with an array of items. Shopping in vintage storesContinue reading “Bold Touches: Eyes Shaded”
