The absolute theme of my life the past two years has been unexpected surprises. I started this blog writing to twenty-something’s like me…

That time I lost my luggage in Greece
They say bad luck tends to occur in threes. Who “they” is, I’m not sure but so far in my experience “they” are correct. I don’t want to sit here and go through all the unlucky times I’ve had in my life but, I will say I’ve always heard the saying “when I rains it…

A Silver Lining of “Imperfect” Parents
Family dynamics are pretty complex things in today’s day and age. One of the joys—I say that with sarcasm—of being a twenty something is experiencing a drastic change in our relationship with our parents.

Some words about love
The annoying thing about love is you never get a warning before you fall in love with someone. The love that’s full of butterflies, going beyond typical anxiousness and putting you into a full blown tail spin. Love that is such a raw connection leaving us to fall often times too quickly. We can be…

Movies that Shaped my Childhood
For many of us, movies have their own special place in our heart. Characters are no longer fictional and stories are no longer told, they are lived.

A personal blog for twenty somethings just like me.
I created Now What to help other young women discover their purpose. I began writing two years ago during a major transition in my own life, and it’s been a gift to document my growth along the way.
