The Fairy House
This past weekend some of my family got together to celebrate my grandpa’s 86th birthday. I was feeling a little bit under the weather, although trying my best to act otherwise, and decided after lunch to go outside to get some fresh air. My grandpa lives in a retirement home and his backdoor opens up… Continue reading

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. I just want to know what’s what with the guy, because like most people who know of him, I don’t know him. When you find him in magazines or interviews, people are… Continue reading

Doors Slammed Open
A couple that I work with have a son that stole the hearts of all of our coworkers pretty much the moment he was born. The second he learned how to walk, he was popping in and around our desks, making our communal office space his own personal discovery zone. Some days he’d want to… Continue reading

25 Things I Learned Before I Turned 25
When I was little, like any kid, all I wanted to do was grow up, to get bigger, to be taken seriously.

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

How to Survive Traffic in LA
My use of profanity growing up was very rare due to the strict policy my mom had against it. Even when my friends in school started using foul language, I stuck to “dang” and “oh man!” Over the years it didn’t change much—well, except when I got my driver’s license. Soon after, my car quickly… Continue reading

Moving Out.
“Goodnight family.” “Goodnight, see you in the morning.” I turn on the ball of my foot and walk down the hall, passing the nook on top of the art cabinet where the cats eat and the two bookcases topped with outdated picture day portraits, as I make my way to my room. Boxes litter the… Continue reading
