Hello! Today is my birthday, and today, I turn 30. Wild to believe that I've been on this Earth for three decades. Three whole decades of learning, growing, and changing to be the person I am today. Especially my twenties: I went from being a college student figuring out what I wanted to do with …

Happy New Year 2023!
Greetings! Happy 2023! Wow, what a wild ride it's been. As we're continuing full-steam ahead through the 2020's, there's still a lot to be said about COVID and the end(?) of the pandemic.

9 Years of Blogging! (and Ending my Blog?)
Hey, folks! Today marks the ninth anniversary of this blog: I published my first post on this day nine years ago, and as I say every year, it's incredible how far I've come. It's also incredible that I'm almost at 10 years of blogging here (a whole decade!), which will be an incredible feat (how …
How I Met My Girlfriend <3

8 Years on WordPress!
Greetings! Today marks my eighth year since starting this blog on WordPress. I've mentioned this before in my last milestone post (i.e. my 7th blogiversary), but I almost forgot that my blog anniversary arrived until the very last minute. Just because I've been blogging for so long that it just doesn't register to me anymore. …
