In the fall of my sophomore year of high school, I showed up to the annual softball tryouts as a “returner.” Having made the team as a freshman, my spot was already reserved, so I was just there to volunteer my time, meet prospective players, and, along with my teammates, be the butt of the… Continue reading

The One Question I Keep Asking Myself
When I was little, I was often asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. When I was in high school, I was often asked what I was going to study in college. When I was in college, I was often asked what my plans were after graduation. When I reached my mid-twenties,… Continue reading

Bob & The Battle for the Keys
It was just your average Friday. My alarm had gone off and I had snoozed it (twice) before getting up; the air conditioning had kicked on because it was already 85 degrees outside; my lunch box was packed, my hair was up, and I had a light jacket tucked in my purse because the office… Continue reading

Oftentimes we are given a main character, and a single obstacle, choice, or relationship that… Continue reading

In honor of my sister’s birthday tomorrow, I thought I’d bring back this post. I originally posted it in 2015, back when we were sharing a room at our parents’ house, when I was just starting to post consistently on my blog, and when the world was really obsessed with infinity scarves.

There have been times my mom has referred to my nose as “a pregnant nose” because of my inane ability to pick up even the smallest scents, and my inability to go down certain aisles in the grocery store (I’m looking at you laundry… Continue reading
