I Completed Every Daily Fitbit Challenge for a Week & This is What Happened
About a year ago I got a Fitbit for my birthday, and like most people I spent the first few months OBSESSED with getting 10,000 steps each day. It was all very exciting. Once you hit it, your Fitbit vibrates and puts up a graphic of fireworks and congratulates you and you basically feel like… Continue reading

A Handful of Pictures & One Thousand Thank You’s
With the sound of ocean waves lapping against the shore below us, and the sun doing its best to poke through the clouds, we moved closer and closer together. It was hot, but not too hot, especially when you don’t mind each other’s company. I was standing in a striped dress and a hat made… Continue reading

Strain then Stir (Episode 1): Kayla Itsines’ Cookbook
As mentioned/announced/proclaimed/etc. in yesterday’s blog post, I’m launching a new series on my blog called Strain then Stir, which will chronicle my attempt at becoming a better cook.

Strain then Stir: A New Cooking Segment (Kind of)
Hello friends, my name is Kim, and I am a terrible cook. Okay, not terrible. Not great, though. A hard average if I’m being honest.

Thoughts I Had While Watching Star Wars for the First Time: Episode V
As stated in yesterday’s blog post, I recently watched the first three Star Wars movies, both to accomplish one of the goals I set for myself this year, and to, you know, catch up with the world. Going into Episode V, I felt a little less like a rookie. I knew (most of) the characters… Continue reading

Thoughts I Had While Watching Star Wars For the First Time: Episode IV
As some of you may know, one of my goals this year is to watch all of the Star Wars films for the first time. Yes. The first time. *pauses for impending judgment* Recently I finished the original three films (i.e. Episodes 4, 5 & 6) and was pleasantly surprised by how good they were… Continue reading

Why the Internet Can Be Good (RE: Alex Rayfiel)
The other day as I was scrolling through Facebook, I saw a link a friend posted that caught my eye. It had a picture of a boy named Alex, who I’d gone to high school with, attached to an article whose title didn’t quite register until after I clicked it. When the page loaded, my… Continue reading

Congratulations & Thanks, Little Brother
Yesterday my little brother graduated high school. *takes a moment to process this* At 5 o’clock, the school staff ushered us in single file. I walked passed smiling siblings and proud fathers and anxious mothers; aunts and uncles and cousins and teachers; girlfriends and boyfriends and best friends. I knew almost none of them, and… Continue reading

Dear High School Students,
Hi, it’s me, an adult—or so they tell me. I’m 10 years removed from where you are right now. When I look at you I feel like we’re a million miles apart and yet, at the same time, we’re also five minutes away. When I look at you I can see me and where I… Continue reading
