I am allowed to feel angry and upset. I am holed up in my house due to COVID-19 and my anxiety is through the roof. You know Halsey’s song ‘Sad’ well, it fits my thoughts perfectly. Two months ago, my ex finally got the balls to dump me. I’ve tried to be civil about it- […]

I am not patient. If you need to know anything about me, it’s that I am not patient. I like knowing things. I am in a very loving relationship but things have gotten a bit rocky. My love is very inspired and passionate about his work and he doesn’t like to say no to a […]

It’s very cliche to say “New Year, New Me” but in all honesty, that’s what I’m working towards. I am about to get very personal here, but I am admitting my resolutions to you all. I play on working on myself to make myself better. Better, for me, better for Ryan and better for the […]

I have been working at my local newspaper for a year now and to be fair, most of what I have to do is pretty bland. School board meetings, city council meetings, a protest over flower beds… not quite my cup of tea. But today, something magical happened. I wrote a Sunday package about Adopt […]

I try to find joy in everything I do (Here’s looking at you, Marie Kondo) but sometimes this is hard. Overworked, underpaid, underappreciated, etc. the list goes on and on. Times like this, I try to reflect on the little things. This time, they’re all airport/airplane related. There are certain things that bring me joy […]

It’s about halfway through March and I’m going a little crazy. I applied to some doctoral programs back in December and the waiting game is killing me. I applied to six schools because that’s all I could afford, applications are expensive, and I’m still waiting to hear from three of them. Unfortunately, I was rejected […]

Sometimes you just need a break from the craziness of everyday life, so I’m going to have a bit of fun and list my favorite words 🙂 Asunder Blanket Comfortable Dissonance Extravagant Fiesty Geode Hilltop Ireland Jaguar Kitty Cat Lexicon Machiavellian Numpty Ominous Pudgey Quirky Revolver Sprinkles Trailblazer Uh oh Viscious Wonky X-Men Yakity Yak […]

I witnessed a very disturbing act today while sitting at Dunkin with Ryan. A man was growing very impatient with his elderly father and it broke my heart. He kept saying things like “Come on, dad” and “Geez” and I immediately wanted to cry and help the older gentleman. His son was being horrible to […]

I am one of those people who likes to rewatch a TV series over and over and over (and over) again. I’m not sure why, but I enjoy rewatching things just as much as I like to watch new things. And I’m not talking “throw Friends or Law & Order up on the TV while […]

The Walking Dead is back this weekend!! You don’t understand how excited I am that the wait is over. While I love every storyline, both on screen and in the comics, I am especially excited for the Whisperers. Negan was cool and all, but he ruled his people using mostly fear tactics. He was fair, […]
