Hope :: Community

Hello, dear readers! This is your public service announcement that our regularly scheduled hope posts will be moving to Wednesdays! And we’re bringing back Weekend Whispers. I say “we” as if it’s more than me, but it’s just me doing all of this! Anyway, on to our hope post! This past weekend, I had aContinue reading “Hope :: Community”

Hope :: Finding the Right Path

When I moved into my apartment, I was told there’s a reservoir near me. I tried to look at the maps, but anyone who knows me knows that I am trash with maps. The directions said it was a 20-minute walk, but I hadn’t yet gotten up the gumption to give getting lost a try.Continue reading “Hope :: Finding the Right Path”

Hope :: Depression Is Weird…

I mean, it makes sense if everything in your life seems to be going wrong; if you’re alone and thrive with being around other people; or anything similar to these. But what about when most everything seems to be going well? When you get the news of your dreams, and yet you can’t seem toContinue reading “Hope :: Depression Is Weird…”

Hope :: Faith in Boston

I told you all last time that I would talk about my struggles with faith throughout the last few months. I want to open by saying that I never once stopped believing in or loving God. But I can’t say that it hasn’t been extremely difficult, and from several different directions. Professional My first hurdleContinue reading “Hope :: Faith in Boston”

Hope :: I’m Back!

Hello, wonderful readers! Thank you for your patience and understanding over the past six months or so. I’m going to delve into that journey a bit, but mostly I’m going to talk about all of the things I’ve learned about myself during this season. Faith As much as I love God, it’s been extremely difficultContinue reading “Hope :: I’m Back!”

Hope :: Chasing the Wrong Things

Hello, readers! As the school year drew to a close, I had to come to terms with the fact that I didn’t receive any summer internships. I applied for many but didn’t receive any. When I started hearing about all of the internships my classmates received, I have to be honest. I was in myContinue reading “Hope :: Chasing the Wrong Things”

Hope :: Springtime

It’s hard to believe we’ve reached May. The picture above is one I took a few weeks ago. Below is the one I took today. Winter in the Northeast is a huge mix of gray and brown. Sometimes, it’s difficult to see the positive in what looks dead. But those couple of weeks ago, theContinue reading “Hope :: Springtime”

Hope :: Something Different

Hello, dear readers! My past many posts have spent time focusing on depression and making it another day. While I think that’s a very important thing to teach on, I also believe there are times we should focus outwardly. So that’s what we’re going to do with this post. It’s easy to focus on theContinue reading “Hope :: Something Different”

Hello, beautiful readers! Thank you for your patience as I get through the extremely busy portion of the semester! Looking around at life, it can sometimes be difficult to find the light. When you get rejections left and right, when your current relationship status doesn’t match what society deems “normal”, when you feel trapped inContinue reading “Hope :: A Brighter Tomorrow”

Hope :: The Struggle is Real

Happy Monday, readers! Time is racing past, but we “grab life by the horns,” right? I’ve written about this before, but I feel like a lot of people deal with depression, or—rather—don’t deal with it, and it makes life extremely difficult, so I felt drawn to write about it again. I was talking to someoneContinue reading “Hope :: The Struggle is Real”
