There was a time when going to a coffee shop to do work by myself sounded like my biggest nightmare. I used to think it was so awkward to go get food or drinks by myself, sitting alone and in complete silence. Now, it's one of my favorite things to do. It's not something that has to be awkward or uncomfortable; instead, it's something I do to unwind and clear my head.

Around this time last year, my life made a major shift. I had (kinda, more on that at 12!) graduated college and moved from my coastal New Jersey life back to my Pennsylvania hometown for good. It was going to be the first time in four years that all four of my siblings, including myself, would be living under the same roof.
