CONSTANCE

About Me: Constance

HI! I am Constance, a 20 something from Seattle, WA. I currently reside in NYC, and I am in pursuit of a Master's Degree in Urban Affairs. I have an avid love of traveling, something I do not do enough but save for regularly. You can catch me watching my faves: Jane the Virgin, Grey's Anatomy, and Shameless. I watch the last one in truth partially because it is so ridiculous, it makes me feel better about my own crazy life. I love to laugh and cry with those closest to me. And I love a good wine-and chat.

 I want to see you succeed. I want to see you grow. Thank you for reading about my own struggles and victories here. Writing this blog is something I have wanted to do for a while, and I cannot thank you enough for humoring me with your views. I am so excited what the future holds for us all!

Lessons for a Break Up

About two or three months ago, a friend of mine was going through a break-up.  They were a cute couple, and she was my close friend, he, my ex's best friend. She was devastated but, she no longer wanted to be in a relationship in which she felt limited. I gave her the best advice I could one night, sighting lessons from my own relationship, one that had not yet ended. I sent a list of ways to cope, move on, forgive herself. It has been an entire month since I parted ways with my ex. A MONTH. Where has the time gone. I feel a little stronger everyday. I am learning to lean and to lean deep into what is going on around me. Last night, I was going through my phone and I found the list. And there it was: cogent, genuine lessons from right inside me. I did not know how refreshing it was to know that there was truth within, however limited it may feel now. Today, I'm sharing that list with you. I hope it helps you through any trial you may be facing. Please share your opinions...

Contributing Writer: Abby

Let’s talk about identity. The journey to finding your identity is ever evolving both professionally and personally. As a former student athlete, athlete was always my identity. I was never just a student, I was a student athlete… that is even how I was introduced to others even after my career. “This is Abby, she was a Division One student athlete…” was frequently the phrase used when friends, family and bosses introduced me to others, and I had a sense of pride with it too. Though, as my athlete title began to slip away, my “Corporate” identity began to resonate stronger. At work I was incredibly hungry to grow in my career, so I did things I thought would get my farther...such as biting my tongue in meetings where I had an opinion but I was just the “young, pretty employee” in the room, so I should listen. Slowly, I realized, I began to leave pieces of my personality at the door when I entered the office as a way to earn respect from my male counter parts. If I was more masculine t...

Remember this

Hi guys it’s been a while! I always start with that which is kind of bad but here I am. So to start off I want to say how incredibly grateful I am to have this type of platform where I’m allowed to speak my mind and learn about other people’s experiences. The great thing about this is you can have your voice heard on this platform as well so we’d really like to hear from you. Im glad Constance came up with this idea, in which I am grateful of every day. Would not be in the place I am today without it believe me.  So I’d like to tell you about me and mine. I started off on this page being very negative on both myself and others; constantly criticizing those who held me back but mostly criticizing myself. Which don’t get me wrong constructive criticism is not bad but there is away you should do it to yourself. The criticism you get shouldn’t affect you in away that makes you scared or anxious in or anyway of double back on every decisions you make. It shouldn’t stress you out af...
