I’m very grateful for the life my boyfriend and I have together.
Of course nothing is perfect and there are plenty of aspects of my life that I do not like. However, on a good day I try to maintain a general grateful attitude for all that I have.
This holiday season has left me extremely reflective on where I am at in life and where I would like to be. It’s only rather recent that I have gained a clear perspective on myself, those around me, and what my life aspirations are.
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the direction and type of content I want on TWR. At 26 there is only so much advice I can give based off of my (limited) life experience. Though I’ve been blessed to have access to people and experiences far beyond my childhood norm there is still so much more for me to learn, and eventually, share.

We spent this past week at my bf’s family shore house. It’s always nice to get away from the noise of the city. Peace of mind should not be a luxury, though unfortunately many times it is. We’re preparing for a big move so almost all our days/weeks feel like a countdown. I’m super excited to be starting a new chapter in my, our, life together. But I’m even more excited for the career goals I’ve set for myself.
I love my boyfriend dearly, but I’m ready to feel a feeling of fulfilment that nothing external can bring me. Genuinely, I believe in order for me to be my happiest I have to create that happiness for myself. As women we sometimes can rely on a man or a relationship to make us complete or happy, and life just doesn’t work like that.
To all the young ladies out there, be extremely discerning with who and what you give your time and energy to
If you’re looking to level up and truly change your life start with where you are. At the end of the day you can have excuses or results, but you cannot have both. Whatever it is you don’t know Google it or find someone that can teach you. Again, there’s so much I still have to learn and that’s why I’m trying to be as transparent as possible taking you ladies along for the ride.
Anyway, I passed by PA realtor exam this week, so my bf took me to this cute little Italian spot. This was actually his meal, and it was delicious! Although we’ll be leaving PA soon we do have plans to one day return. The reason I got my PA license is because we were indecisive about our move for a while, and I didn’t want to sit idle. I also think that just the experience of taking the test will make retaking the test in another state that much easier.
For the last 5 years I’ve known I ultimately wanted to be a real estate investor. For now it’s just about me gaining the capital to make those investments. I’m still deciding between residential and commercial, but I’ll keep you all updated on how it goes. We’re going to Atlanta next week, but when I return I have plans to do lunch with a really successful local real estate investor in Philly, so I’m hoping to gain some gems from that.

While down the Jersey Shore we went to Stone Harbor for an impromptu movie date. We saw the House of Gucci. It was actually really good. On a side note: I’ve been wearing For Her Musc by Narciso Rodriguez and I’ve gotten sooo many compliments! Here’s a For Her sample for anyone looking to try it out!
But as I was saying, as the year comes to an end I am very excited for what awaits us in 2022. This year was full of drastic changes that I still cannot believe I made! I pray that we are ALL patient with ourselves and the process. I’ll try and post a few more articles before the year ends.
Until then.. Happy Holidays!
