Cya St Valentine – Breaking Relationship Expectations
On February 19, 2018 by adminValentines day this year turned out to be far from what I expected. Sitting by the hospital bed beside the one I love I pondered the expectations of this day and relationships as a whole. The idea we get in our head of how it’s supposed to be, how this day is supposed to be and ultimately how our relationships are supposed to be. We believe our problems arise when we don’t reach them when in actual fact it is the expectations that are the problem. So here’s my perspective on breaking relationship expectations.

Letter To My Present Self: My Guide to Early Twenties.
On October 3, 2017 by White Scarf PerspectiveThis week I approach my 22nd birthday, another year older and most definitely wiser. You know those years that are filled with consistent highs and pure happiness? Yeah well this year has definitely not been that for me at all! Quite the contrary. But with struggle comes ample growth so I am appreciative.
So here is a letter to my present self, advice about the things to focus on in such a significant part of my life.
Dear Kaitlyn, or at this stage Kaity/Darling…
Right now you are in arguably one of the most lost stages of life, so remember that you are able to deal with circumstances far worse than you ever believe you can. Know that your lowest of lows result in an even higher high. Remember not to compare pain because pain is not relative to circumstance, pain is relative to experience. Your ability to cope with situations is relative to the experiences that have equipped you to deal with them. Forgiveness is strength not weakness and is a lesson that you’re going to learn in order to free yourself.

A Letter To 16 Year Old Me
On September 26, 2017 by White Scarf PerspectiveIn light of my birthday coming up next week I wanted my next few posts to not only reflect on the past but act as incentive and an alignment referral for the future. The process of writing a letter to my past, present and future self definitely helped to re-evaluate where I’m at and where I’m going.
So what advice would you give to your younger self?
Dear Kaitlyn,
