How to describe a personal blog? Basically this category serves as a catch-all for anything uncategorized. As much as I’d love to focus my writing and my life on just a few clear things (running, reading, travel, and being as minimalist/waste-free as possible), it’s difficult to avoid simply writing at times.
Especially before I decided to narrow the focuses of this blog, I wrote whatever came into my mind or heart. I’ve long thought that writing was the best form of catharsis (I even wrote an entire blog post on this idea HERE: Writing for Catharsis: Why Perfectionism is a Bitch), so I simply let the writing take me where it would.
Those posts now make up the brunt of this miscellaneous/random musings and personal reflection section of this blog. Enjoy!

I watched a Taylor Mali video this morning in which he said “Changing your mind is one of the best ways to see if you still have one”. Whoa. Change has been at the forefront of my mind for the…
