MY THOUGHTS (ORLANDO)

Published by

I rarely make posts like this. I don’t ever want to get used to writing posts like this. It’s been a few days since the tragedy that struck Orlando and I want to publicly post my thoughts because I know there are people (perhaps yourself) who want to be reminded they’re not alone if you feel confused or upset. For the past few days I’ve been deeply saddened. On the weekend I heard about musician/YouTuber Christina Grimmie, whom I watched for years, be killed while signing autographs for fans. This news struck a cord. When you watch someone on YouTube you get to know them, their favourite foods, their family, what they do on a day to day basis, etc.. they become your friend that you check in with daily or weekly. When I read on Twitter that Christina has been tragically shot, I honestly didn’t know what “shot” meant. My mind could not process a beautiful, 22-year-old girl who was living her dreams have her life taken away for no reason. All we’re looking for is love and a little …

5 DATING TIPS TO CONSIDER OR WHATEVER

Valentine’s Day is approaching and whether you’re a bitter Betty or look forward to receiving edible underwear from your last minute desperate-times-calls-for-desperate-measures Tinder date, the commercial day of love is going to happen, whether you like it or not. It’s been awhile since I’ve written an advice post and thought I’d give my five cents when it comes to love and relationships. First thing you should know, never come to me for dating advice. You’re probably wondering, why the heck am I reading this post then? I don’t know, you chose to be here (I’m thankful for it, love you, please don’t leave me). When it comes to sage advice, I provide insight when it comes to how to sweet talk your way to floor seats at a concert, how to use chopsticks without offending your ancestors, and (my specialty) how to look like you have your life together when you really do not.. but when it comes to “Jessica what should I do if the guy I met on Tinder who I’ve been ‘seeing’ for two months isn’t returning …

FLEETING MOMENTS

Published by

We are composed, defined and captivated by fleeting moments. Holding onto nights, places and feelings we wish we could stash in a locket and open up from time to time, only to reminisce about that first glance or first conversation. These moments flash before our eyes. It seems selfish to want something to last for more than the time we are given. To be able to pause and soak in the incredible feelings that startle and amaze you. The familiarity of smells and sights. Listen to your senses, be in the moment and acknowledge when your heart feels happy. Fleeting moments come and go, just like memories and the people you meet. See, feel, touch, catch and release. The wonders of our life can be documented with pictures and video but the best memories are stored in a place where every so often, typically in quiet moments, you remember what it’s like to love and be loved. It’s yours to capture, every fleeting moment.
