Have a Nice Life! (I Mean it)
I was listening to a podcast the other day and one of the hosts talked about how we often we only see people once in our whole lives. She described it in the context of getting her eyebrows done. She lives in New York, a bustling city of millions, and makes an appointment every couple… Continue reading

17 Goals for 2024
What better way to finish out a year than with a good old list of goals? Like last year, I’m not choosing goals that are strictly tangible and trackable. I’ve also picked things that I want to be more mindful of in myself and my relationships. And as always, I’ve picked 17 because it’s my… Continue reading

The Power of a Small, Good Thing
About a month ago I was walking down the aisle of a plane, avoiding eye contact with the strangers already buckled, and continually glancing at the row numbers in search of my seat. I always like to get a window seat. I’ve found it helps with my motion sickness, not to mention gives me a… Continue reading

Take Your Treasure Out of the Box
At a recent church sermon I attended, the pastor talked about “taking your treasure out of the box.” She went into the idea that we are all designed specifically and carefully and given gifts (a.k.a treasures) that we can choose to either share or not share with the world. In today’s society, hobbies, gifts, and… Continue reading

It feels like crunch time to get everything accomplished and time to start planning and setting goals for next year. But recently, I’ve seen a… Continue reading

A few weeks ago, I attended a two-day writing workshop at UCLA. It was 16 hours of intense work: writing to prompts, listening to lectures, and often reading our work aloud for responses from both the teacher and our classmates. Typically, this is my nightmare. Who likes to read aloud? Especially when it’s your own… 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

Let the Pinball Ping
I was listening to the Modern Love podcast the other day and writer Samantha Joseph read her essay, “I Had to Stop Asking Why” that was previously published in the column. It is a beautiful piece that touches on suicide and the questions that family and friends are left with in the aftermath, and there… Continue reading
