Hello, and welcome to Full Disclosure! I started this blog as a simple online diary to collect my thoughts and feelings. But as soon as I published my first post, I realized that what I had to say resonated with a number of people.  Everyone is moving through their own unique and complicated reality of life. But while we are all different individuals, there are some life lessons and experiences that are universal.  My hope is that by boldly sharing my truths, passions, and revelations, I will inspire others to discover theirs as well. So as you read, embrace the words that make you want learn, grow, and proudly proclaim who you are!

Much love,
Bree

Why I Love Having a Roommate (Or, the Odd Couple, 2021)

       If there’s anything I’ve learned over the past year, it’s that I actually enjoy time to myself. This came as a surprise to me, as I’ve always considered myself to be an extreme extrovert. However, despite enjoying a solo quality time, I’ve never lived entirely on my own. Having a roommate comes with its own trials and challenges, but I can say without a doubt that I do love having roommates. I feel especially blessed now to be in a living situation where I feel comfortable and at home.      One of my roommates is a friend from college, but the other came to me as a setup through another friend.

We awkwardly “interviewed” over FaceTime because of Covid, and I hung up feeling extremely nervous. She seemed nice enough but I wondered if she would be neat enough, quiet enough, and considerate enough to meet my admittedly high standards ...

How To Be Happy (Without Embracing Toxic Positivity)

All my life people have asked me how I stay so positive and cheerful. When I was younger I couldn't really give a solid answer. But as I’ve grown, I’ve had to become more intentional about maintaining those traits in life. After all, the older we get, the easier it is to become bogged down with cynicism about the world around us. I know that it’s impossible to be happy all the time, but I also know there are some things I can rely on to nudge myself more in the direction of happiness than despair. So without further to do, here are 5 ways to be happy - without embracing toxic positivity of course. Try to Unplug      These days it’s especially hard to disconnect. With gatherings still being largely limited and a lot of people still working from home, it’s easy to glance at the clock and realize you’ve spent the last 12 hours in front of a screen. But research has shown that spending too much time with your devices can cause neck strain, headaches, blurred vision, and disru...

Bree's Black History Watch List

       This month I’ve been determined to find ways to celebrate consciously, something I’ve found difficult since graduating from the structured activities of academia. Luckily, streaming has made it extremely easy to (literally) observe Black History Month in the safety of our own homes! So, I’ve been intentional about watching stories that highlight the black experience and boast creative involvement from black people off camera as well. So without further ado, here are the top 4 films on my Black History Month Watch List for 2021: One Night in Miami It’s the era of the play on film! I started watching this without realizing that it was based on a play, but stopped to google this fact after realizing that characters were repeatedly talking for way too long without interruption. The source material is clearly rich, and that combined with first time director Regina King’s brilliance, makes for a tour de force of a film. Leslie Odom Jr. has been a favorite actor ...
