You may have clicked this blog post with the idea that I would give a step-by-step guide on how to get over losing friendship, but you would be wrong. Sorry. Being a girl in your 20s while trying to maintain friendships is hard. It is time consuming, takes lots of energy, and is mentally draining. With that being said, it is still extremely hard to lose friends in this time of life. Everything is already so confusing, and friendship is what makes up most of our being at this time period, so when you have to take a step back from a friend it hurts.  I currently lost a group of friends that I really cared about and envisioned them being in my life long term. Change is hard in all aspects, but It is better to let go of what is holding you back. You can't keep someone in your life when they don't bring positivity to you.  Something that has helped me a lot during this is leaning on my friends that do have my best interest at heart. I know this may seem confusing, lo...

  Summer Book Recommendations  There is nothing quite like reading a good book in the sun! I want to share some amazing books that I have personally read and believe should be talked about. A little backstory on my reading history is that I read for entertainment, it is my favorite hobby. I read a majority of romance books with a hint of some mystery/thriller, literary-fiction, and fantasy stories. However, summer screams romance books!  p.s. the blue titles are links that lead you to amazon where you can purchase each book!

They find each other through a reddit posts and decide to try and break the curse by dating each other, with the end g...

While I am the number one supporter for everyone being their own main character in their own life , sometimes everything is not about you. Now you may be wondering how I believe both of those statements to be true at the same time but let me explain. Whether you are struggling with a coworker, a friend, or even a stranger, remember that you cannot control their actions. Personally, I am struggling with a not so nice coworker, and I had to take a step back and remind myself that it is not about me. In this situation I know that I am a hard worker and I take pride in that and the complaints from my coworker do not reflect on the work that I do. Something that I have learned is a lot of people project their personal lives and negativities onto people who do not deserve it. I am 100% confident in the fact that I do not deserve the disrespect from my coworker, so I can only assume that the underlying cause is due to something in her personal l ife. Possibly something was lacking in...

If you were alone in the woods would you rather encounter a bear or a man? As a woman this hypothetical question makes me contemplate the safety measures that girls have to make on a day-to-day basis. I have personally found in my life that I feel the safest around my girl group. Social media platforms have proven that this is a universal experience for most women. Being with my girls creates a safe space to escape and enjoy the small things, like experiencing a night out; however, the main event is getting ready with your girl friends. These small expressions of girlhood create the bonds that last a lifetime, from sharing makeup tips to scream-crying to Taylor Swift, each step to a girl's night is carefully crafted to create a safe environment for everyone to be themselves and celebrate each other's individual strengths. This all starts with the group chat.  THE PLAN: (aka group chat)  The plan is the foundation of the night. This is where the events of the night are discuss...
