I wanted to start the new year off on the right foot with a clean slate. Part of my cleaning up includes decluttering my web browser. Before 2018 comes (uhhh, what?!!), here is a dump of all the posts I had been saving up to share but had yet to do so. Consequently, some of these are from months and months ago.

I'm hoping 2018 will be the year I finally clean up my life.
Learning to abolish the 'chill girl persona,'--the one of feigned disinterest and complacency with whatever
