Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. What is it about endings in life that make things feel so scary? It is the unknown. If you are anything like me, endings of any kind are never easy. They suck actually. Just recently I had a new ending, one I wasn’t expecting for a little while. I totaled my ...
Stubborn. Some call it a weakness, while others call it a strength. What is it though? Me, I hate to lose or not be the best at things. For example, when I was a kid, my brother would let me win at video games, and when I realized he was letting me win, it only hardened ...
I can't help it, it's that time of year again. Time to think through what I accomplished, my downfalls, and what I hope to do even better next year. It's not about criticizing what I didn't do, but seeing what more I want from myself this year. It's not about losing a certain amount of ...
Written by blog contributor, Daniela Forte. As I close out this year, so many thoughts come to mind. My first thought, is this year really over?

I've seen so many people (myself included at times), settle because they aren't sure if they'll find better, or because ...
It started like this... She caught his look The pure evil behind his eyes The look of desire The look of lust The desire to want her. He didn't see the need behind hers The need for courage The desire for respect The struggle for greater strength. She desired him. He needed her desire. She looked away Far beyond his reach Needing the strength to keep moving. He saw her ...
The show Friends was iconic especially in the late 90s, yet we can't help but binge on it again and again on Netflix. Because it's not just amusing, but it's relatable and aspirational in some ways. So what have we learned over 10 seasons? Apartments in NYC are not like Monica's, unless you are grandfathered in, ...
