Hello, Old Friend

On April 7, 2020 By KimIn growth, WritingLeave a comment

About a week ago, through quarantine boredom, I was mindlessly perusing the internet. You know, as you do. I had been playing the Sims 4, scrolling mindlessly through social media, and then somehow ended up on Storybird.com. I first joined Storybird in middle school for a class assignment, but quickly fell in love with the …

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 …

Isolating Isolation

On December 31, 2019December 31, 2019 By KimIn growth1 Comment

For those who know me, it'll be no surprise to you when I say I'm an extrovert. I love being surrounded by people, and I thrive best in conversation and discussion. Being around people makes me a better person. I'm more motivated, more productive, and altogether happier. And even though I'm a pretty lighthearted person, …

Giving the Villain a Voice

On December 5, 2019December 5, 2019 By KimIn growthLeave a comment

There are a lot of people who dislike me, I'm sure. Now, most of them won't tell me, due to the surrounding "West Michigan nice" culture, but I know those people are out there. People who find my laugh annoying. People who are frustrated at how loud I am. People who believed what someone else …

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 …

Taking Time Off to Break

On October 8, 2019October 8, 2019 By KimIn Adulting, growth1 Comment

When our buckets overflow, we need to give ourselves time to mop up the mess. If we don't, we'll slip and fall. Just like I did.

Salad, Loneliness, and Other Adult Things

You see, I'm an extrovert. I get my energy from others and I'm a verbal processor. I thrive off conversation and discussion.

Well, You Thought Wrong

On April 23, 2018August 28, 2019 By KimIn Friendship5 Comments

I've always had this idea about college. It was going to be the best four years of my life. I was going to join a friend group my freshman year and stick with them all through college. I was going to meet the man of my dreams, get engaged, and married right after graduation. I …
