The Small Conversations Right Before We Step Outside
We are in the thick of the triple digits in Southern California, which makes getting outside more difficult, especially if you don’t want to be entirely miserable. By 8:00am it is 80 degrees, and it doesn’t get below that until about 11:00pm. For most of the day it hangs around 100. But that’s July for Continue reading

When You Fear the Unknown, Remember What Else is There
The unknown is not my favorite place. In fact, it is arguably my least favorite place in the world. I like to be in control. I like to know what to expect. I like to prepare for any and all outcomes so that I have a better chance of actually enjoying myself. Now, sometimes, I 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

The Tour de France is Not What I Thought—It’s Better.
In the last few months, I have gotten very into the slew of sports documentaries available to stream. I love watching people push themselves to their limits and reach elite athletic status. It’s inspiring to see what bodies are capable of, what people are capable of, and it is so easy to root for people Continue reading

The Interesting Car
When I was a kid, my parents used to bowl in a Thursday night league at our local bowling alley. We’d all head over as a family around 6:00pm, hoping we were early enough to get a spot in the small parking lot. Whenever we pulled in, my sister and I would keep our eyes Continue reading

How Jazzercise Unexpectedly Changed My Life (And the Way I Exercise)
“Do you want to try Jazzercise with me tonight?” After hearing this question from my mom on a weekday afternoon, my immediate reaction was to laugh. Not callously, but curiously.

Sitting behind me is my best friend Nicole, her newborn Continue reading

A Prayer for the Comment Sections of the World
While I’ve always known that internet trolls are a thing, and that the anonymity that comes with a screen allows people to say things—horrible things—that they most likely wouldn’t say when put face to face with someone, I have recently been floored by the sheer number of opinions that are thrown every which way at Continue reading
