I’ve done my fair share of Instagram blocking. Whether it’s people from my past who I don’t want in my future or people I don’t know who follow me and make me feel uncomfortable, I’m not scared to block on Instagram. And just recently, someone new got added to my “Blocked” list. Not because they
Just go for it. Easy to say. Harder to do. When it comes to achieving your goals and accomplishing your dreams, sometimes you really do have to step out in faith just go for it. However, from personal experience, I like to follow what I call the four P’s when I “go” for something. Here’s
When my mom died in 2018 after battling cancer for the third time, I began to wrestle with the question of why God let my mom die. However, what you probably don’t know is that just over two years later, in February 2021, my dad died, too. To understand the significance of the things I
I’ve always loved to write, so it’s no surprise that I’ve been journaling since a very young age.

But this thought woke me up just enough to truly consider the implications: what if you didn’t worry?
“Why should I keep writing when no one seems to care what I have to say?” This is a question I’ve asked myself a lot since starting this blog nearly four years ago. While there were many different reasons I chose to start relationshipswell, one of the main reasons was because a publisher I was

Food. Nourishment. Enjoyment. Community. Creativity. Food. Overindulgent. Painful. Isolation. Addiction. It isn’t a “common” addiction. To some, it isn’t considered an addiction at all. But for me…for me, food–sugar in particular–was my addiction. It was where I turned when I was having a bad day, a hard day, a sad day, a long day, a
Have you read or heard people telling you that now, with all this extra time, you should be super productive? I don’t know about you, but for me, this “extra” time doesn’t feel all that great.
