Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
Staying Mentally Strong
If you grew up playing the board games Life, Risk, or Monopoly, then you know events can change a player's fortunes quickly. If you’ve lived long enough, then you know life is continually changing with a revolving door of obstacles to overcome. Some are merely pebbles to step over, and others are mountains to be climbed. A person with low mental strength will turn the pebbles into mountains and give up trying to win the game. One who is resilient makes the mountain a heap of stones and push toward winning.

How to Be Unapologetically You When You're Experiencing Imposter Syndrome
As a child, I was considered “bright for my age” (whatever that means?) – one of those kids that always wins the spelling bee, rarely gets a question wrong on a test, and somehow becomes the teacher’s assistant and has bestowed upon her the job of grading fellow students’ math tests (side note: this is weird, right?).

Feeling inadequate went from being a shock to being a daily occurrence.

Chapter 2020
RIP to the things we loved and lost in 2020. In this era of it's okay to not be okay, I want to take a moment to ackowledge the things that dramatically and drastically changed in our lives as a result of this pandemic. The crazy unique thing about this situation is that no matter what your stance is on the pandemic itself, everyone can agree that we were all changed by it in some capacity. Things about the world after this year will never be the same. Our life stories have reached a pivotal point where every character can now share a trauma bond over the whip lash that was the start of this new decade. But you know what? Great stories come out of tales of resilience and we are all characters in our own life stories.

Stop Judging Me for Being Creative
My entire life I have always known I was different from the rest of my family. I grew up in a household of 6 people: my grandparents, my aunt and uncle, my younger cousin, and me. I can remember knowing I was different than the rest of the members of my household as early as 6 years old, which it became more and more apparent when I was in my pre-teen and young teen years. Especially when I started experimenting with makeup.
