You Don’t Need A Reason

On May 19, 2020May 19, 2020 By KimIn AdultingLeave a comment

About a year ago, I bought a pair of leather pants. Clearly a necessity, right? Maybe not. But a thrift store find that includes perfect fitting leather pants for $1 was an opportunity I thought foolish to pass up. But for the past year, they've just sat in my dresser drawer, untouched. I keep waiting …

You’re Never Too “Okay”

On May 5, 2020May 5, 2020 By KimIn Adulting1 Comment

For the longest time, I was convinced that I was okay. Obviously, I would have rough days, or trudge through some seasonal or situational depression. No one can be "good" all of the time. But most of the time, I was good. When I graduated high school, I left a lot of pain in my …

Mask On, Mask Off

On February 25, 2020February 25, 2020 By KimIn Adulting1 Comment

It was about 10:40pm, and my co-worker and I had just clocked out after a long shift and were changing out of our uniforms when someone else from our department entered the locker room. I greeted her and attempted to start a conversation, but soon realized that she seemed immensely out of it. Upon further …

I Wanna be Uncomfortable!

On February 11, 2020April 19, 2020 By KimIn Adulting, growthLeave a comment

One month. One month ago, I was frustrated, bored, and apathetic. It had been three months since I had quit my full-time job, and I was still deep in the job search. Three months of applying with very little to show for it. In one of my last posts, I talked about how I have …

The Voice of Truth

On January 28, 2020 By KimIn Adulting, growth, ReligionLeave a comment

Some of you may have some memory of this, but several years ago I had a trial run on a blog. I hadn't given it much thought on what I wanted it to be, and it was, therefore, awful and messy. However, there were a few good posts from it that I kept. This was …

Eat Your Darn Veggies

On January 14, 2020 By KimIn Adulting, growth1 Comment

I've had a wretched headache for the past two weeks. Some of you don't see anything unusual in that statement. But for me, headaches are uncommon. I have a strong immune system and get close to eight hours of sleep a night. I eat three meals a day. I have found a good balance between …

What the Heck Am I Supposed to do?

On December 17, 2019April 19, 2020 By KimIn Adulting, growth2 Comments

There was a time when I was eight that I wanted to join the military. I was 100% sure that the army was where I was supposed to be. I was going to show that girls could be powerful and strong and I was going to help my country. About a week later I changed …

The Day I Became a Mom

On November 19, 2019November 21, 2019 By KimIn AdultingLeave a comment

Do you ever get the feeling that you're being watched? You're walking across the parking lot or through the halls and suddenly, your hair stands on end. You can feel someone's eyes pressed against your back. You know they're taking in every little thing you do. This may seem dramatic. Okay, it definitely is. But …

When Your New Shoes Don’t Fit

On November 5, 2019November 5, 2019 By KimIn Adulting5 Comments

I've always been told to never quit a job unless you've got another one to replace it. I know it's a bad idea to walk away from a steady income, especially when you've got bills to pay. I've heard the horror stories of unemployed 26-year-olds living in their mom's basement, binging Netflix and not contributing …

I Plucked My Eyebrows

On October 22, 2019October 23, 2019 By KimIn Adulting, growth4 Comments

I've been a different version of myself lately. A version of Kim that is quieter. (I know, it's crazy.) A version of Kim that has higher stress levels. A version of Kim that doesn't really feel like how she used to be. These moods come and go. The stress is crippling some days, other days …
