Your Body Is Always Listening
Do you ever just sit and listen to your thoughts? Have you ever taken a moment to pause and witness what you are thinking?

M.E. and Me
I have M.E. This means so many different things to so many different people. Trying to explain an illness/disability that does not manifest in a way that people can understand. I equate it with trying to explain the differences between a 747 and the Dreamliner. Some differences are glaringly obvious, and some are not at all easy to see. And before you ask I have a big interest in aviation, hence the plane comparison.

Living With Chronic Illness Is a Full-Time Job
Managing chronic illness is a full-time job. For those of you who deal with it on a daily basis, you understand. For those that don't, you would never imagine how much time, effort, and strength it takes out of every single day. On top of working a full-time job, managing my health condition leads me into amazement of how well I keep it together during the eight hour days. It's when I get home when I fall apart from exhaustion.

I don't know about you, but whenever I set my New Years Resolutions, I always give myself targets that are unattainable and then beat myself up about it in February when I've already failed.

5 Easy Self-Care Acts
I have seen a lot of self-care posts lately and it got me thinking about how often I actually focus on myself. I realized that with my busy schedule I have been neglecting what matters most: ME. I have also been on a personal journey the past few years to feel more like my authentic self, which has included trying new things and breaking out of my comfort zone. Honestly, at first, I was skeptical about this whole self-care movement. But since I was on this personal journey and all, I gave it a try. Safe to say I was pleasantly surprised.

The Importance Of Self-Care
I’ve been sick. Like really sick. And I don’t mean writers block kind of sick. I mean I’ve had lack of self-care, which led me to complete isolation from any social media platform for weeks. I know a lot of you have been curious as to when I was going to upload another blog post; and to be honest I was questioning the same thing. I’m sure some of you even thought I was done with the whole creative influencer, blogger, and “fake” occupation thing all together. And unfortunately for that population — you’re wrong. I love my current and future followers too much to quit cold turkey. But before I jump back into Who What Wear’s and NYFW Preparation Tips, I want to lay down a foundation not just for myself, but also for all of you. This foundation is all, and just about, the importance of self-care.

Finding Your Way Back to You
Who are you when you're not the girl with cancer anymore? It's so common. Everyone knows someone that has had cancer, or is suffering with it themselves, and yeah it sucks, but nobody ever warns you that after the cancer is when shit gets weird.

20 Things I've Chosen to Stop Giving a Shit About
As an anxiety-stricken millennial, I have found that the source of most of my problems is that I seem to care about all of the unimportant things. Most of which come from caring what others think about the things I maybe SHOULD care about. So I am putting it out there for you to hopefully relate to. Some of the things on this list are everyday/all the time things, while others are just happening as I'm writing right this second. Here are the things I am no longer giving my time and energy to. Let me know if you relate.
