About the blogger

For everyone who does not know me, My name is Jessica. I have recently graduated for Northern Illinois with a BA in Communication Studies. I was born and raised in Chicago Illinois suburbs and now live in the City of Chicago. A fun fact about myself is that I was adopted into a very loving family at five days old! Some of my siblings are much older than I am but I do have a younger brother as well. I work as a technology consultant as of right now in River North.

The reason I decided to create a blog is simple, I need a hobby. I have always enjoyed writing and I hope that one day I will have the time to write a book. I was originally an English minor in college. I did not pursue the minor because of lack of support I received from the professors. However, that did not change the fact that I like to write. My goal here is to help someone. Whether that be helping someone look at a situation in a different light or maybe even help someone get through a hard time where they feel alone when in reality, you are never alone. Trust me, I am still trying to accept that myself.

In high hopes that there will eventually be more activity on my blog, I encourage you all to comment your thoughts on the posts that resonate with you. I believe that the more people involved the more impactful each post will be! That being said, I want to write about things that will be relatable to people and I can only do that with your help. I would love to hear what you are interested in reading about. Thank you for your support!

The First Step

It’s crazy when you finally take the first step... Whether it’s filling out a job application, becoming more serious in a relationship, or even recognizing your own addiction. For me, the first step isn’t quit any of those things... I’d like to think that I am in a very great place in my life... I have a full time career that I’m doing well in, I can financially support myself, I’m moderately healthy, got myself a nice mans, crazy right? ... but just because I’ve earned all that doesn’t mean I have it all together... because I don’t... but honestly who does?? I’m far far from perfect and I’m okay with that. But sometimes when you have a lot going for yourself you get lost in the action of everyday life. I go to work, eat, sleep, occasionally hang out with some frandsss. You get comfortable in this routine and forget about the main focus... YOU. Now I’m not a parent, I don’t have children to care for... but that doesn’t mean I don’t have a lot on my plate. I’ve been through it in a way ...

Caught Up in the Moment

Ever just get caught up in the moment? As in, ya know, caught up with drama.. work... relationships.. LIFE?! Yeah, me too. It's hard isn't it? Life itself especially. Thinking back as a 7th or an 8th grader, I thought to myself, "I can't wait for high school". Having those nerves, you know.. the feeling of uncertainty on how things are going to go or how things are going to change in that next step in life. What about, "Oh, I can't wait to go to college". Those same nerves came back, right? Thinking "things are going to get harder", or "how am I going to know how to do this?", or even "what is the next step going to look like?” We get distracted and sidetracked sometimes, it’s inevitable. Getting sidetracked by something that you’ll forget about in a a few years. Damn, even in a few days. Being overwhelmed... yeah that happens a lot for me. You get caught up in the moment when really it’s going to resolve itself. That ...

For YOU.

It’s crazy to think about how one month can turn in the two months, and two months can turn the three months, and the next thing you know half a year goes by, and the next thing you know it’s a year later... Thinking about where I was a year ago compared to where I am now...every time I predict or have a small invasion of what my future may look like, it turns out to be nothing like I expected it to look like but it’s not always a bad thing... And honestly the favorite things about my life right now are the ones that caught me by surprise because I didn’t see it coming... I’m just kind of at this point in my life where I tend to just go with the flow, ya know riding the wave of life, letting life take the stirring wheel... But let me tell you, I’m a huge sign person... I mean HUGE. For example, every time I think of quitting my job and wanting to start something different, something happens whether it’s a promotion or some sort of light at the end of the tunnel t...
