Hard Work
When was the last time you had a day when even your coffee needed coffee? A day when your childhood punishments such as: going to bed early, not leaving the house, or not going to a party became your adult goals? Was that day today? A week ago? A month ago?

The Little Black Book
"OMG, Skye! Your book is sooooooo good. I knew you could do it", read one of many Facebook comments in a post I was tagged in. Immediately, my stomach started to knot. I'd been writing mini-memoirs since the sixth grade. At this point after writing for so long, my little composition notebook was so raggedy, the white splotches from the original print were also black with pen marks. What's going on? What are these people talking about? Who tagged me!? I'd just gotten off of the Greyhound, I'd previously sworn to never go back on, and I hadn't reunited with my folks in Chicago yet. Oh my goodness, I can only imagine what my people are saying!

Overcoming Aphantasia to Become a Better Writer
The gloomy mid-afternoon weather seeps through the openings in the horizontal blinds into my tiny space. Rain drops outside the window race down to the finish line of a ledge. Drops combine with one another to take the lead. Homemade hazelnut cold brew coffee rests on the side table. Just beneath the window, long vines of green plants stretch toward the floor, adding color to my otherwise black and grey living room.

Breaking down the walls I've built
For me a fresh start to 2021 would be to start tearing down the walls I've built up in my head to keep me "comfortable"... This year I'll be turning 28 years old, not far from 30. This scares me, not because of thinking I'll be old but due to the fact that I feel like I haven't lived to the potential I feel I could of been so far in my life.

Work Until You Succeed, Then Keep Working!
I know a lot of people want to succeed in life. I mean, come on! Who doesn't?! We all want to succeed at something in life. Personal goals, financial goals, business goals, and whatever else you can think of. I have many, many goals for myself this year. I can't wait to challenge myself and make those goals become a reality in all aspects of my life.

When all else fails, rely on the wisdom of show tunes.
Does anyone else have an obsession with making lists? No? Just me that’s an uber nerd? Regardless, making lists help me plan out my day, execute big projects and give me reminders that I’d otherwise forget. (And then two months later, freak out once I remember).

The Broke College Grad Diaries - Part 6
Hey, World! It’s your favorite broke college graduate with another life update! To be honest, life has been relatively mellow lately. My emotional state has been mostly stable with a few fun fluctuations here and there. And, other than the fact that the U.S. Capitol was attacked by some of the most radical Trump supporters I’ve ever seen, the world has been pretty “normal”. As “normal” as it can be during a pandemic, I guess.
