serendipit-e

hi…i’m e

twenty-five. a chicagoan through and through, but forever fighting an unquenchable desire to explore every far corner of the earth. i read the likes of plato and rousseau for fun (i know, right?). apple is my drug of choice and i quite literally would find an outing to the nearest apple store to be the perfect date - perhaps with a side of sushi. fall is my absolute favorite time of year. crisp air, rich colors, grey skies. and boots. i adore a good pair of boots.

i’m a planner. and while i know this is who i am, it is not who i want to be. twenty-five years of planning and the biggest lesson i’ve learned is to let go and let the pieces fall where they may. this will forever scare me, but what fun is living life by a checklist?

i currently work in marketing but a career change is imminent. i am simultaneously exhilarated and terrified by the path that lies ahead of me…to which i say, i am so ready for you.

i have been in love twice. and had my heart broken just as many times. number three is in progress (hopefully minus the heartbreak) and i am very much enjoying my first big city, adult romance. but i would be lying if i said the vulnerability that comes along with falling for another person didn’t absolutely terrify me. i’m still learning how to learn from my past without letting it emotionally paralyze me in the present. so far i think these efforts have been successful.

this is not my first blog, but it is a fresh start.
