2023 Midyear Check-In: Overcoming One Big Crisis After Another

Sometimes the only payoff for having any faith, is when it’s tested again and again everyday.

This one above is a lyric from a song by Fall Out Boy that I have always been able to relate to, and in 2023, it seems to be hitting home harder than usual. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful, I have had a lot of wonderful things happen to me this year. But with every month that passes, it seems that most of my time and energy are being spent in overcoming one big crisis after another.

Dealing With Imposter Syndrome

When no one ever really expects anything from you, you kind of end up growing up not really believing that you have any potential for anything good. At least, that’s what my experience was.

It wasn’t until I was 16 when I did something somewhat good enough to make my family proud, and suddenly people started to have all these unrealistic expectations from my capabilities.

Sims 4 Grunge Revival Kit Review

Two new kits for Sims 4 are out now, and if you are looking for an honest Sims 4 Grunge Revival Kit review, you are in the right place! 

As someone who had an angsty teenage phase growing up, I was really looking forward to this new kit. And while I do feel that the items are a bit too limited this time around–even the previously released kits had a lot more CAS items–I am quite happy with what we’ve got. Here’s my review of Sims 4 Grunge Revival Kit.

Saturday Spotlight: Week 1 Of May 2023

I have been rereading my older posts lately and it made me realize just how much I used to love doing weekly wrap up posts as well. There’s something about looking back on the week that feels inspiring and motivating. And so I’ve decided to start these weekly wrap ups again, with a not-so-original spin: welcome to my first Saturday Spotlight: Week 1 of May 2023!

I have never really participated in Community Voting before, but this time, they are letting us choose between Rainbow Core Style and Goth Fashion for Create A Sim items, so I knew I had to jump in and cast my vote for these kits.

What To Do When You Feel Overwhelmed

Have you ever been in a situation where you have all these plans laid out to get things done one by one, but then an unexpected crisis comes along and completely throws you off track? Suddenly, too many things are happening too quickly, and you wish there was a pause button so you could just take a moment to breathe. It’s easy to lose sight of yourself when you feel overwhelmed…and for the past couple of weeks, that’s how it has been for me.

Return From Hiatus + Updates And Confessions

After months of disappearing, I am back (again) and super excited to start sharing posts in this tiny little corner of the internet that I own. The past four months have been pretty crazy–2023 started off on a bad note for me, what with my father having a stroke on the very first day of the year.
