Mourning Platonic Loss

April 25, 2023 Amber Danielle

Hello again, everyone! It's once again time for me to wax poetic about something that's been bugging me lately: breaking up with a friend. It sucks. It's got the potential to be worse than romantic breakups. It's not (typically) a conclusion one comes to easily or quickly, but I think we all eventually come to… Continue reading Mourning Platonic Loss

Is It Me? Am I the Drama?

December 16, 2022 Amber Danielle

A wise philosopher once said, "It ain't nun to cut that bitch off." Snip, snip, h*e (if you know, you know). And one thing about me, I will cut someone out of my life with the quickness. Unfollow, mute, block, the whole nine yards. Your instagram, twitter, phone number, Facebook, even ya mama's Facebook if… Continue reading Is It Me? Am I the Drama?

Growth vs. Ease: Making the Choice

December 13, 2022 Amber Danielle

“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.” Abraham Maslow I had a thought at work last week that stopped me in my tracks: staying at my job would be easy. This was an incredibly unsettling realization… Continue reading Growth vs. Ease: Making the Choice

Pokémon Sword and Shield debuted in the U.S. on November 15, 2019, but it took being forced to stay inside during a… Continue reading Pokémon Sword/Shield: Thoughts

calm the f*ck down.

December 30, 2019 Amber Danielle

Just take a pause. And breathe. My 2019 was a year full of doubt. Doubt in my abilities to succeed in grad school, doubt in whether or not I even wanted the career I've been working so hard for, for the past... I don't even want to think about how long I've been working for… Continue reading calm the f*ck down.

Fall In Love with Reading (Again)

January 5, 2019August 6, 2019 Amber Danielle

First post of 2019, woo! Happy New Year, guys! I've said before that thanks to school and work and general laziness, reading was much less a priority for me since high school than ever. However, since summer '18, I've managed to make my way through more books than I have since 2013 and it's been… Continue reading Fall In Love with Reading (Again)

Reflecting on the Past Year

December 1, 2018August 6, 2019 Amber Danielle

As we prepare to kiss 2018 goodbye, I've been thinking so much about how the past year really has been my year. I've been fortunate to experience a 2018 that was filled with way more positive than negative, which, after the emotional rollercoaster that 2017 was, was a great relief. Without dwelling too much on… Continue reading Reflecting on the Past Year
