Things that Men Think Are Chivalrous
I do not mind the idea of chivalry. However, I do think society has put such an emphasis on men being chivalrous that it has lost its value and can be annoying. Most of the time men do not realize they are acting in a way that makes women feel less valuable because they "are trying to be chivalrous."

Float Therapy
I heard a testimonial from a college student who had been on 13 different medications for anxiety, depression, and pain. She dropped out of college because she felt the pressure to thrive and become successful. Unfortunately, the medication became too much for her to handle and as a result she dropped out. So, she tried a new form of therapy called float therapy. Now, she is off ALL the medication and is back in college. So, I decided to do a little research and give it a try.

Youth Sports
I was naturally an athletic kid and I wanted to try many different sports. When I was younger I played softball, soccer, gymnastics, horse back riding, and eventually I settled on volleyball. Many people laugh when I decided on volleyball because of my height. However, the back row was created for a reason. Of course I was never going to be a middle blocker and I was not upset by that.

I did not leave the comfort of my apartment, except to take my dog on walks. While I was scrolling through Amazon Prime, I came across the series, Friday Night Lights. This used to be on Netflix, but I am unsure if it is still available.

Love Yourself First
Relationships with other people are great and they can teach you many things. Relationships can teach you what you want in future relationships and what you do not want. However, establishing a relationship with yourself first can be beneficial. Loving yourself and practicing self-love first before entering any relationship can be important.

Distractions at Work
We have all been there when work is slow, there are no projects that need attention to, there are no customers in the store or there are no pending appointments. Whatever the case may be, distractions at work are bound to happen. So, do you give in to those distractions or try and find a way out of the slump?

Women in 2018
Living in 2018 should be a lot easier than was fifty years ago. Women have equal rights as men. We have the right to vote and the right to freedom of speech. The last time I checked we were no longer slaves. Right? Well, I thought so. I thought that living in 2018 would mean women empowerment and that I would not have to relive what women used to put up with. Now, let me explain.
