Get Comfortable with Feeling Uncomfortable

A couple months back I saw this quote online from nOCD. It really hit home and was the perfect reminder that there is no reason to fear my anxiety. In the past, the moment I felt the tingle of anxiety was the moment I would quickly try to shove it away. If the anxiety did not go [...]

It is crazy to think I have been living in Brooklyn for almost a month now.  I have just fallen in love. I love the people - who are not the rude New Yorkers you hear about on TV. I love the beauty of the buildings. I never thought of buildings as art until I was [...]
