“Make a move. Any move will do. But staying still is just that—staying still.” Dear Universe, Sometimes you don’t know where to begin. You have a big goal in mind. You have a vision you want to bring to life. You see a future version of your destiny that is calling your name. And you want these things more than …
“Love is a choice. Drama is also a choice. So the question is which one would you rather be surrounded by?” Dear Universe, If there’s one thing I don’t enjoy in my life, it’s drama. Truth be told, it wasn’t always this way. For years, I was surrounded by drama: at work, in friendships, in romance. The thing is I …

I’m not exactly the most rigid, stick-to-my-schedule-need-a-plan-at-all-times person either. I’m a tweeny; I land somewhere between those two.
