Best Advice I Got This Year (List-cember #2)
I remember a time in my life when I did not want to take advice. I was young and sure I knew everything, and the term “advice” implied the opposite. So when I was offered up wise words, I remember politely nodding along, knowing I was going to do it my way no matter what. Continue reading

My Least Favorite Question
There is one question that haunts my dreams. One question that I have tried to master my entire life, but still find myself quaking in its presence.

When I was in high school, I was part of my church youth group. On Wednesday nights, we would get together to worship, hear a sermon, and then hang out and talk. The boys liked to skateboard and play tag and do stunts that would make me say, “that doesn’t look safe.” And the girls Continue reading

A Golden Gate Birthday (Part 1)
When I was in 8th grade, I went on a class trip to San Francisco. I remember eating Ghirardelli chocolate, I remember getting a migraine on the bus, I remember listening to Hoobastank in the hotel room that I shared with four other girls, and I remember the fog. En route to Seattle a few Continue reading
