To all the lonely ladies this Valentine's Day:

I get it. You are alone on Valentine's Day. Your Instagram feed is filled with couples gushing over each other, so many flowers, a bunch of chocolates, and even some couples are now engaged. Good for them.

 Guess what! You are not the only one spending this unnecessary holiday without the comfort of a dreamy male or female by your side. Today, so many ladies are spending the day by themselves, or surrounded by their other single girlfriends, drinking wine until they are so content with themselves that they start crying for no absolute reason. 

Wine is the most sufficient form of healing. It is the life-saver that holds a strong female together in one piece. If you are alone today, or every Valentine's Day for the next several years, stop getting down on yourself. You have the comfort and support of all the single, independent ladies to rely on for that matter. Stop wishing that you are chained up in love, but celebrate the freedom to roam alone, independently, and chain-free. Your time is now. 

Besides, all the chocolate is on sale tomorrow. Go treat yourself.

Wicked Part One: A Film That Leaves You Changed "For Good"

 I was 17, on a flight to the Bahamas for a family vacation, when I first listened to the Wicked Broadway soundtrack. Staring out the window at the endless clouds, I felt like I was soaring right alongside Elphaba as she defied gravity. That music stayed with me, becoming a soundtrack to a summer I’ll never forget. Years later, sitting in the audience at Playhouse Square, I watched the story come to life on stage, and it changed me “for good.” So, when the movie finally came out, I walked into the theater with high hopes—and let me tell you, I was utterly blown away. Wicked: Part 1 was released in November 2024, directed by Jon M. Chu, starring Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba. It’s a fantasy musical adaptation of the Broadway hit and novel by Gregory Maguire. It starts with celebrating the Wicked Witch of the West’s downfall after melting and perishing to her doom. Although all seems fine and celebratory in the Land of Oz, we later learn that the Wicked Witch, ...

Bride Survival Guide: The Truth About Being a Bride

Congratulations! You're engaged!  Now is supposed to be the happiest time of your life. You get to marry the man or woman you love, plan a giant party (or a small one, if you prefer) with all your close friends and family, and wear the most beautiful gown. If any of these things make you anxious, you are not alone. Many brides feel overwhelmed during their "Engaged Era," and many don't get the support they need when feeling this way.  While this is an exhilarating time, your nerves and anxieties are valid. The second you get that ring on your finger, your personal life and boundaries go right out the door, and everyone wants to know every detail, even some that you haven't even planned out or thought about yet! When is the date? Where did you get your dress? What does it look like? But here's the thing: no one asks how you are doing.  Here is my hot take: society has made weddings so impractical and unreasonable that any bride-to-be feels overwhelmed. Everythi...

Rifts and Rays: Restoring Kindness in a Fractured World

 In a world where things are often dark and negativity creeps around every corner, there is always a rift in the clouds for the sun to appear. Today, we are experiencing more cloudy days than sunny. People no longer respect boundaries or treat others with respect because they do not see eye to eye with other individuals. This is creating a rift in our world.  When did people stop caring about treating others the way we want to be treated? When did people think that it is okay to put others down because they are different from us? When was this ever okay to accept in our society? The answer is never. We, as humans, act upon how we observe others. When we see other individuals we love tearing someone else down, we do the same. The pattern continues until later down the line someone wakes up and stops it, breaking the cycle and starting a new pattern from scratch. We all have different religious affiliations and beliefs, but when did any of that mean disrespecting your neighbor?...
