Do You Know This Smell?
I’ve been thinking a lot about smells recently, and how interesting it is that we can know and retain and understand so many smells, but the knowledge and memories associated with them are often only triggered when we physically smell them. Trying to describe a smell is like trying to describe a texture. You can… Continue reading

Working the Closing Shift
I saw a Tik Tok the other day where a girl described the walk through she does of her apartment each night, calling it the “closing shift”, and I realized I do the exact same thing. Each night, after I turn the television off and start making my way to bed, I walk around my… Continue reading

I Am 33 and…
Today is my birthday! Fun fact: I don’t love my birthday! Not because I don’t like celebrating another year of being alive, but because I don’t like the attention. I feel more self-conscious on my birthday than any other day because it’s home to the most surprises, and I hate surprises even more than I… Continue reading

The Tour de France is Not What I Thought—It’s Better.
In the last few months, I have gotten very into the slew of sports documentaries available to stream. I love watching people push themselves to their limits and reach elite athletic status. It’s inspiring to see what bodies are capable of, what people are capable of, and it is so easy to root for people… Continue reading

The Interesting Car
When I was a kid, my parents used to bowl in a Thursday night league at our local bowling alley. We’d all head over as a family around 6:00pm, hoping we were early enough to get a spot in the small parking lot. Whenever we pulled in, my sister and I would keep our eyes… Continue reading

How Jazzercise Unexpectedly Changed My Life (And the Way I Exercise)
“Do you want to try Jazzercise with me tonight?” After hearing this question from my mom on a weekday afternoon, my immediate reaction was to laugh. Not callously, but curiously. A giddiness bubbled in my stomach that was reminiscent of being asked to dance by a middle school boy—it was both exciting and slightly embarrassing.… Continue reading

With a metal spoon, I scoop the cooked broccoli into the blender, followed by the butter, garlic, lemon juice and pasta water. “It might be loud,” I say, genuinely not knowing how loud it will be, as this is not my blender, or my kitchen. Sitting behind me is my best friend Nicole, her newborn… Continue reading
