It’s Been A While. Again: Starting Over for 2023 a Month Early

It’s been a minute. Well, more like a couple of months. Okay, almost five months. It’s been a while. Over the past few months, I got caught up in a few things that seem to eat away any free time. I also found myself facing burnout with writing and burnout…

2022: A Reflection on Being Tired and Stressed

If I sum up 2022 in a single descriptive phrase, it would be this: tired and stressed. I am tired. I am worn out. Burned out. Exhausted. Stressed. At this point, I’m running out of words to describe how I feel. Maybe go under the thesaurus and pick your favorite…

Revisiting Photography, Side Hustles, and Resurrecting My Online Photography Shops

Last year, I bought myself a used DSLR camera. I had aspirations of learning photography and selling my photos as a side hustle. A year later, that camera mostly sat, and I became distracted with other things. That hasn’t stopped me from still taking photos. The only things I use…

Learning Balance: Moving Edition

I’m hoping I am nearing the end of a month-long process of moving. I got the keys last month, but the process has been slow going. I thought it would be quick like 1–2–3, and then boom. Done. But this isn’t the case. Moving has become another exercise in life…

Experimenting With YouTube. Again.

About 7 years ago, I got it into my head I wanted to experiment with different ways of storytelling. I was going through some stuff and I wanted to do more than just write. I also have been a visual person. I love experimenting with taking photos on my phone…

My Struggle Learning to Deal With a Slow Building Anxiety Attack

I don’t shy away from discussing my own mental health. I struggle with generalized anxiety disorder and ADHD. I have for most of my life. It wasn’t until recently I received my GAD diagnosis. But dealing with slow-building anxiety isn’t new either. At times, it becomes unbearable. Like nothing I…

Crash and Burn: Anxiety, Overworking, and Trying to Balance Everything

I am a little too proud to actually admit what happened to me over these past few months. It’s probably best that I do, but it’s still embarrassing. I crashed and burned. Mentally, emotionally, and time-wise. For the past few months, I feel like I have been trying to keep…

Reimagining My RedBubble Shop as a Side Hustle on a Budget

Earlier last year, I wrote about creating a RedBubble Shop and trying to get past my fears of putting myself out there. I also briefly switched plans on my SmugMug portfolio to the most expensive option where I could sell photos as an online shop. The idea of passive income…
