In August of 2016, me, my sister, and my best friend Allison (except I spell it Alleeson because of a whole Kimberlee double-e solidarity thing) went to dinner at Islands.

Some Thoughts on Hug Protocol
I like hugs, I really do, but I’m also very confused by them. See, I understand there are times when it’s obvious to hug and times when it’s obvious not to hug. But then there’s all this middle ground that is hard to read and makes my stomach hurt. Take for example the “to hug”… Continue reading
