About MtM

As a 20 something year old I feel torn between what I’m “supposed to be doing” with my life. On one side I’m told to be “wild & free”, party, and have blurry crazy nights filled with laughter and friends. On another hand, I should be settling down, creating a family, investing in my retirement, and working a 9-5.

Somewhere between these two worlds I got lost in a mundane routine of trying to fulfill both expectations and ultimately ended up feeling exhausted and disingenuous to myself. I realized that my life was my own and that all I really wanted was to live a happy life- whatever that looked like in that moment, not what that looked like for other people or according to societal expectations.

MtM was started as a creative outlet to capture my journey in moving towards that goal of fulfilling my OWN joy, and to hopefully inspire others to do the exact same. I share tidbits of life as they have occurred within my own. From notes about college life and toxic relationships to travel plans and marriage. Our lives aren’t a succession of perfect linear events that always follow societal standards, so neither has been my journey to undoing these perceptions, and therefore my posts may seem a bit all over as well- but that’s life.

I hope you can find ways to find joy and marvel at your own life. I hope you learn to turn the mundane components of your life into something more marvelous and something you’re more appreciative and proud of. I hope you join me and enjoy the crazy ride as we take it together.
