The Infant & the Idea (And Why They’re the Same)
In many ways, I would describe myself as a dreamer. I like to build things up, create something out of nothing, all that jazz. I also LOVE ideas, all of their innocence and endless potential. The hard part however, with dreams and ideas, is the irksome process of actually turning fantasy into reality. In my… Continue reading

Songs Taylor Swift Wrote About Me (And You)
In light of her performance in Austin this past weekend, and the 10-year anniversary of her first album marked yesterday, it has been widely speculated that Taylor Swift will drop a Beyoncé-esque surprise album to celebrate. And while I’m not one to dig through statements made and necklaces worn to try and find clues for… Continue reading

Me, My Dad & Rocky Balboa
My dad, just like my grandpa and one day, my younger brother, has always been good at giving advice. He always finds a way to stay objective, to see the side of a situation you might not even consider, and can find a way to break down an answer that is simple and easy to… Continue reading

Years and Years of Questions (feat. Answers)
I recently read the book Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, and while there is a lot I could say about the beauty of author’s writing throughout the story, there was one line that really stuck out to me, and has stayed with me in the months after I finished: “There are… Continue reading

Why We Can All Relate to the Gilmore Girls Revival
With the next chapter of Gilmore Girls FINALLY arriving to Netflix this fall, I’ve been very much in the Stars Hollow spirit. I recently got my mom hooked on the early seasons; she’s en route to complete her binge before the 4-episode arch launches at the end of November—which, could there be a better release… Continue reading

Words I Made Up (feat. shoxigen)
Being a creative type, sometimes almost to a fault, I tend to like to make stuff up. Whether that be a new craft, a new snack, or most commonly, a new turn of phrase. I love finding my own way to describe things because it’s often the only way my crazy, weird brain can truly… Continue reading

Baked Cheeto State of Mind
So first off, let’s just get it out of the way and say that yes, I LOVE Baked Cheetos, but that’s not exactly what I’m here to talk about. I’m not going to go into detail about why crunchy is better than “puffs” and why baked is better than regular or cheese explosion or whatever… Continue reading

The Olympics & the Human Spirit
Even with the Olympics almost a week gone, I’m still finding it difficult to adjust to life without them. For 17 straight days my family had recorded and watched as much Olympic coverage as we possibly could and somehow it still feels like we should have watched more. Nothing really beats the Olympics for me.… Continue reading

Me, Myself & My Broom (And How We Solve Problems)
The other day I was moving furniture back and forth around the living room, sweeping up the dust and crumbs the wood floor had collected over the week. It’s my normal Saturday morning routine: wake up, eat a bowl of cereal that is far larger than the recommended serving size, then dive headfirst into a… Continue reading

To All the Girls I’ve Ever Compared Myself To
I’m sorry. I’m sorry for all the times I looked at you like an object when every moment of every day I argue why no one should ever do that. I’m sorry for looking at your body and wishing I had the same one. I’m sorry for making assumptions about you based on our differences.… Continue reading
