A Name for Smoggy Days
Yesterday was a smoggy day. Sure, in Los Angeles, it’s smoggy most days. But that’s not the smog I’m talking about. Some days I wake up feeling low. Sad. Or what I like to describe as “heavy.” It’s when every worry, insecurity, and regret seem to be sitting on top of me, making it hard… Continue reading

Look for the Happy Middles
The other day I was listening to a podcast that discussed the cliché: happiness is a journey, not a destination. It got me thinking about movies and books and their tendency to have “happy endings”—a direct contradiction of this cliché. Oftentimes we are given a main character, and a single obstacle, choice, or relationship that… Continue reading

March & April Favorites
I’m having one of those days where I want to say, I can’t believe it’s going to be May already. But then I feel like I could also ask, is it only May? But also, what day is it? You know? It’s been a wild couple of months. Luckily, I have found some good things… Continue reading

If it Weren’t for that One Crazy Hair
The other day I watched a YouTube video where Kylie & Kendall Jenner attempted to do their makeup while drunk. Regardless of your opinion of them or their reality show, the video is cute and funny and especially sweet if you have a sister or sibling that you love to laugh with. At one point… Continue reading

I Want the “More”
This past weekend I finished reading The Midnight Library which is a book about regrets. It follows Nora, a girl who is so consumed in regret and despair that she decides to end her life, only to wake up in a state of in-between called “the midnight library” where there are shelves full of books… Continue reading

Take a Step Back
To kick off the new year, my church participated in a 21 day fast. In lieu of certain food groups, I opted to delete social media from my phone, as I felt that it was one thing stealing more of my attention than necessary. And while I expected a bit of habitual reaching for my… Continue reading

Elton John’s Only Question Worth Asking
I recently read Elton John’s book Me, and it was a wild ride. I’d highly recommend reading it in any way you prefer, but I’d especially recommend the audiobook as it was a fantastic listen that featured both Elton John himself, and Taron Egerton, who played Elton John in the biopic Rocketman. One thing that… Continue reading

17 Goals for 2021 (List-cember #8)
In 2017, I made my first list of 17 goals. They were bold—crazy even—and they were hard, but they also pushed me to do things I never thought I’d do. Since then, I’ve figured out a rhythm to goal setting. I’ve made sure to set goals that I want to accomplish rather than those I… Continue reading
