Does the vague name make it sound more edgy?

Not 75 Hard, 75 Kim
If you can believe it, there are less than 70 days left in 2023. I always get a dual sense of panic and excitement about the end of a year. It feels like crunch time to get everything accomplished and time to start planning and setting goals for next year. But recently, I’ve seen a… Continue reading

On the Morning of the Baby Shower, I Went to War
So there I was. It was just before 7:00 a.m. on the morning of my sister’s baby shower. My hair was in a bun on the top of my head, ready to be washed, my kitchen table was covered in cookies and flower arrangements, and my dress was laid out, ready to be put on.… Continue reading

Thursday Faith
Hello there! I wanted to tell you about an exciting new project I’m working on called Thursday Faith. It is a weekly newsletter that will be centered around faith-based content. Growing up, my family almost always went to church on Sundays. That’s what Sundays were all about! Well that and rollups, which is what we… Continue reading

Do You Know This Smell?
I’ve been thinking a lot about smells recently, and how interesting it is that we can know and retain and understand so many smells, but the knowledge and memories associated with them are often only triggered when we physically smell them. Trying to describe a smell is like trying to describe a texture. You can… Continue reading

Working the Closing Shift
I saw a Tik Tok the other day where a girl described the walk through she does of her apartment each night, calling it the “closing shift”, and I realized I do the exact same thing. Each night, after I turn the television off and start making my way to bed, I walk around my… Continue reading

I Am 33 and…

I feel more self-conscious on my birthday than any other day because it’s home to the most surprises, and I hate surprises even more than I… Continue reading

We see seven shows a year, getting together one Tuesday a month to make the drive downtown for whichever musical or play is on rotation. As part of… Continue reading

You Were There (A Story for My Niece About the Eras Tour)
So there we were. Dressed up and eating pasta on a shady, breezy patio. Some of us were sparkling, and all of us were smiling. We were so excited. Next to us there was a girl with pretty makeup and jewels glued to her cheeks and around her eyes. And then the radio started playing… Continue reading

The Triplets on YouTube that Make Me Miss My Siblings
A couple months ago, while scrolling down the abyss of my Instagram Explore page, I came across a video of three brothers. They were sitting in their car, snacking, talking, occasionally arguing, and often laughing hysterically. I watched, amused, and then kept scrolling. But over the course of the next week, clips from their videos… Continue reading

The Nesting Doll
On the bookshelf in my living room, there is a nesting doll. Before it was on my bookshelf, it was on my parents’ wall unit. It was a staple decoration in our house, and it moved with us again and again and again. On a shelf in my bedroom, there is a mini picture frame… Continue reading
