My Phenomenal Mom, Adrianne.
On any given day there are life lessons my mom taught me that live rent free in my mind. Some she meant to teach and some she didn’t. If I close my eyes I can hear her saying, "Aleah life is not fair," or "God never puts more on you that you can bare," or "not now, doesn't mean never." Of course sometimes, against my better judgement, I choose to ignore those lessons. But I always come back later and regretting that decision.

Find What Works For You
I've never been good at organizing or cleaning up. Up until a few days ago there was still a pile of laundry begging to be put away and a desk cluttered with makeup supplies. Listen, we all can't be Marie Kondo. Although I highly recommend watching her videos. As I rifled through my closet, putting away that aforementioned pile, I realized that I hadn't looked at most of that stuff in years. Old clothes, shoes, and accessories that I never wore or lets be honest wore too much. I thought of a way to dedicate my day to refreshing my closet and my room. If the lack of organization skills were not enough, the lack of motivation was surely it.

The Laundromat and the Duffle Bag
You could hear a pin drop in the usually cacophonous, bohemian-styled dorm room. In a confession circle, roommates Leila, Rachel, Corine, and Alicia sat frozen. Every so often they glanced toward the daunting duffle bag adjacent to them. Mirroring each other's body language, they remained rattled and motionless. It was almost as if the cast of That’s 70s Show had suddenly strayed from their blissful, frolicsome Fox abode and sheepishly, if not ignorantly, wandered straight into the unsympathetic, hospitable arms of an HBO drama.
