About Me: Kate

Hey girl! I'm 21 years young and live in NYC. I'm a History and English major, who is looking to go to Law school. You can say that I want to be the next Elle Woods, except less blonde. I'm a major foodie and always looking for a good pie. My go to shows are Parks and Rec and The Office because they make me laugh and cry. I'm an avid reader and love ReeseWitherspoon's book club.

My goal in life is to help those around me and hopefully with this platform I will get to do so!

Mother and daughter relationships are sometimes tough. However, when your mother is around, but consistently absent this is extremely difficult to manage. My parents got divorced when I was 4, my Mom then married my stepdad when I was 5, but alcohol always seemed to be more important to her then what was going on with me. My Mom always had random mood swings that would throw me off also, sometimes when I was just casually trying talk to her she would get so upset with me and then ask me to go get her a beer. Thankfully my Dad and my stepdad were very active and involved figures in my life which I am so thankful for, there could never be enough words to explain. However, I remember in high school attending a psychology informational forum about bi-polar and knew immediately my Mom fit that. I tried to talk to her about that but she ignored me and was in denial. Later I remember reading a book about multiple personality disorder, which my Mom fit into and I tried to discuss with her, onc...

There are moments where one person can consume you... Is it healthy absolutely not! Is it possible yes! For the last two months I have consumed myself with one person, I have seen this person in both the good and the bad. But I realize now he should not be defining my happiness. My happiness does not depend on this person. I should not dictate my life over how this individual has treated me or how how they have made me feel. I have realized that I am ready to grow up and see that there is always something better there for me. I always want you guys to remember these few lessons that I have learned recently from my friends and for myself: 1. Focus on you In this life time you will realize that your happiness should be your main priority. Take a step back and ask yourself, is this good for me. Stop trying to make everyone in your life happy. Not everyone will be. At the end of the day this is your life, if someone won't take that opportunity to share it with you, then they...

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...
