Muddled Insomniac Thoughts





So I spent the last two hours reading through my entire blog which I started on and off back in 2012 - can't believe that was six years ago. I noticed as time progressed I had less and less to say. Life caught up to me — and pretty much became so routine that I didn't think I had anything interesting to say but when I look back at old entries I didn't have much going on either ... just a bunch of random, emo thoughts - ha! What's nice though is that memories I've forgotten came flooding back clear as day and it's nice to have it stored for when I feel like looking back and remembering what I did and when.

Just a few days ago I was thinking to myself that I could barely remember what I did two weeks ago. Anyway, this whole thing started because I was having insomnia and decided to look at my blog, which then motivated me to write a post about how I should record everything I do so I can remember it later on. I find it funny that in one of my posts I talk about blogging about my 30th birthday which isn't too far away (ugh).  

Today at work we had a lesson about blue light factor and how we are over exposed to it from all the technology we're using everyday ... especially me since I work in social media and I'm on my phone/computer almost 24 hours a day. The blue light factor is the reason why I am still awake — I need to stop sleeping with my phone. Blue light factor also causes accelerated aging but luckily I still look like I could pass as a high schooler ... I still get away with using my college i.d. for discounts. 

Some highlights + thoughts that are top of mind: 

1. An interesting Instagram masterclass I went to. I'll save what I learned for another post. That same day I accidentally got off the elevator and landed in Yahoo's office - which looks amazing. Does anyone even use Yahoo ... how do they have such a sick office space. 

2. This past weekend I went to PA for Keith's sister's going away party. She's moving to Boston. Her fiance made the best ribs I have ever tasted. We watched Hereditary. It's not as good as it's hyped up to be but it's good enough that I recommend seeing it at the movies. 

3. I bought discounted candles at Bath & Bodyworks for half the price. 

4. I signed up for unlimited New York Pilates all summer. My heart is broken though because my coworker told me you can't lose weight from doing only pilates. I hate cardio. I'm coming to terms with I'll just never lose weight and I should throw out my scale.

5. I am obsessed with Odd Fellows iced oat latte which is the place pictured above w/ the blue couches. If you have a chance, try it. The milk tastes like ice cream. 


It's 2 AM - I need to go to bed! Thank god I do not have a Pilates class scheduled for tomorrow morning. I'm sad I do not have an avocado for breakfast in a few hours. I've been trying to eat breakfast every morning.
