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

The Girl in Row G
This past weekend my sister and I went to see my favorite band in concert. Our seats were in Row G, which was up pretty high and to the right.

Arms Dead Forever (feat. The Gym)
It was a casual Saturday afternoon. I was contemplating a nap when my cousin Cory called with the invite. “It will be fun” he said, “come and at least try it.” With shoes laced and nervous sweat already bubbling on my neck, I made the drive over and found a parking spot next to a… Continue reading

When I was little I used to play tag with my cousins. First, we would rock paper scissors to see who was “it,” then we would name the parameters of the playing field, including the safe zone. In this space—which was usually the blue wall next to our back door—you were not allowed to be… Continue reading

My Tattoo
As some of you may know, I hiked Mt. Whitney this past August with a group of my family and friends. It was easily one of the most gratifying and inspiring experiences I’ve ever had. I honestly did not believe it was anything I could ever do. My dad had run the idea by my… Continue reading

Based on a True Story.
Today I saw the movie “Unbroken.” And as the last preview faded to black, and the lights dimmed, a familiar five word phrase filled the center of the screen. “Based on a true story” It’s a tagline found on posters for some of the most inspirational movies ever made. Spoken words of wisdom are written… Continue reading
