A slightly new feature coming to the blog!

If there's one thing I've learned since moving cross-country (I'm a midwest gal living in California), it's how to be me. Sort of. I'm not saying I'm 100% at ease with who I am. There are some days when I wish I could be more outspoken, other days when I wish I was more thoughtful. But I've definitely gotten to know myself better. Not socializing with anyone your age for 3 months, then keeping a close-knit group of friends, really gives you a lot of time to yourself. I've been slowly getting into...
