A Lesson in Love from Mr. & Mrs. Day
A few weeks ago my Grammie was transferred to a nursing home. It was a big adjustment for her, especially due to the new presence of a roommate, but she understood the necessity, as her health had begun to rapidly decline. Her room is set up with two beds arranged perpendicular to one another, divided Continue reading

Classic Love Scenes I Couldn’t Be Part Of
When I was little, love to me was like the locked room of my grandparents’ house. I always knew one day I’d have to break down the door with savage curiosity, but until then I’d just sit in the living room watching Growing Pains and eating cottage cheese. As I grew up, I watched a Continue reading

This past weekend some of my family got together to celebrate my grandpa’s 86th birthday.

Sometimes I Find Myself Thinking About Harry Styles
Fact. No, this isn’t where I take you into some weird part of my mind. Things aren’t going to get scandalous or uncomfortable.

The Glitter of the World (feat. Taylor Swift & Mary J. Blige)
This past weekend I went to my first ever Taylor Swift show and it was quite different than anything I’d ever been to before. An easy critique would be to say she puts on a good show and clearly enjoys what she does, both of those things are obvious within the first few minutes. The Continue reading

What Dumbledore Taught Me About Anxiety & Other Crippling Emotions
When I was little I had an intense phobia of being kidnapped. Every evening I had a routine that I had to complete before I would feel safe enough to get in bed. Then, once I was under the covers, I could not and would not even consider getting up before morning. I’d lay awake, Continue reading

Quarter of a Century Campaign
Last year on my birthday, I wrote a blog about turning 24. This one will be about turning 25. DIDN’T SEE THAT ONE COMING DID YOU?! And you thought Gone Girl blew your mind. I had a number of plans for my 25th birthday, most of which I still plan on completing, however I was Continue reading
