Everyday I am plagued by an altogether consuming feeling that–no matter how hard I try–I can not seem to get away from. This feeling grabs hold of my chest and tightens its grip, unsettling every nerve in my body. It is there in the morning when I start my day and it is there in… Read More Your Gut Knows What’s Up
I just hate confrontation. Raise your hand (or click your mouse lol) if you do too. You know those individuals who stand up for themselves without a second thought?? Those individuals who don’t even question the appropriateness of calling someone out who is wrong?? As if it were the most obvious thing in the world.… Read More The Consequence of “Chill”
I am often considered a flake by my friends and my family. I’m known for responding 5 days later to a text, for occasionally (okay often) bailing on plans, etc, etc. As much as it hurts to admit, they are right. My flakiness has become a constant point of inner turmoil for me. Something I… Read More Do What You Say You Will Do

To be honest, summarizing the experience is virtually impossible therefore I am not even going to try. Beside’s… Read More A Reflection: Owning Your Story.
Every country has something special. Europe has many things. Here are some of my favorite things (that I will sincerely miss) about Europe:) 1). The Fashion. Europeans don’t play when it comes to dressing. Especially Italians. The people I see on the street take such pride in their presentation. Unlike Americans—where a simple flip flop… Read More Things I Love
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays ever! I know I say that about every holiday lol but I can’t help it. A day dedicated to eating whilst dressed up in your living room HAHA (sometimes I don’t know why we bother, we ALL know the sweats are coming out as soon as grace is… Read More Felice Ringraziamento!
I used to smile a lot. I used to smile a lot more than I do now. As a young girl, you could count on me to have a smile in any situation: uncomfortable, happy, even crying. By default. It was something I remember doing a lot. Looking back, I used to be so silly…… Read More Start Smiling Again
“There is no world without Verona walls.” William Shakespeare They say some of the best things in life are unexpected. I have come to find that this is completely true. My most cherished and poignant memories are those I never saw coming. Those funny coincidences that occur out of nowhere, that happen by chance, without… Read More An Ode to Verona
