    Soft Reset

    I need to write again. I need to write for myself again. I’ll tell myself moving out of the copywriting position and into this new one at work should help with the writer’s block. But really, I’ve just lost my excuse that it’s hard to write creatively after writing professionally all day. The burnout’s still…

    HOW DO U LYFE

    Lately my brain feels like the part in the documentary Dear Zachary when the twist is revealed and the screen explodes with an angry cacophony of manic, split-second imagery and blown out speaker sounds as one lone voice yells “fuuuuuuck” in the background. I feel like I’m finally on the precipice of being able to be…

    My Top 9 Must Reads of 2019

    To clarify: these aren’t necessarily books that were published in 2019, rather books I read in 2019 that I think should be read by everyone else. When I was in middle and high school, I never read fewer than 6 books at a time. As an English major, I spent the majority of my four…

    2020 New Year’s Goals & Promises

    Well, unsurprisingly, I broke a lot of the promises I made to myself this time last year. I think I’ve been going about things wrong. Neat little lists with concise little goals look good on paper, but they don’t adequately represent the amount of work that goes into each one. And for someone who has…

    FYI: This Blog May Be Coming Off its Indefinite Hiatus

    I don’t know, I’m still up in the air about it. I’ve started using two other sites for writing throughout this year (Medium and Tumblr, they’re linked in the sidebar; I’m too lazy to put them here too) so it seems silly to try and revive this but. There is something nice about your name…

    FYI: This Blog’s on an Indefinite Hiatus

    My writing journey is taking me away from this blog. It’s just not the sort of writing I want to do or even attempt to keep up with. So I’ve cancelled my premium WordPress account. I’ll most likely renew my domain ownership when that comes up this spring, since it makes sense to keep my…

    My Cat Died and I Don’t Know How to Handle It

    The book club thing’s on hiatus for now. I’m having a hard enough time focusing on things that don’t require even a modicum of the work that project would. If you didn’t see my tweets, instagram post, medium post, or the title of this blog post, let me catch you up: my cat, Minnie, died…

    BLOG ANNOUNCEMENT: I’m Starting a Book Club

    Well, in a sense. One of my goals for 2019 is to read more, but the notion goes a little deeper than just racking up the numbers on my “read” list on Goodreads. Sure, I’ll skim through some trash fiction and beach reads throughout the year, but I also want to really dive into some…

    2019 New Year’s Goals & Promises

    i spent the last few days of 2018 watching my cat basically die and then come back to life, so 2019 can really only go up from there.

  • My Biggest Regrets of 2018

    My Biggest Regrets of 2018

    I hate the advice “live life with no regrets.” And I don’t particularly trust people who say they “truly have no regrets.” Just because you learned from a regret doesn’t mean you wouldn’t do things differently were you given a do-over. And just because that might not be true for one regret, that doesn’t mean…
