HOPE
November 3rd, 2020 2020 has not been a hopeful year, nor one that has particularly cared about our plans or dreams. Despite this, a few people have reached out to me and said that I could probably write something great about hope. You kind idiots. I disagree with that sentiment. I have been holding onContinue reading “HOPE”
Do You (Still) Believe in Magic?
November 2nd, 2020 I chose the wrong time to peek behind the curtain. This year has been one of intense loss for many. I have to keep my face forward, because as soon as I turn my chin to look back at my own losses, it feels impossible to steer it toward the future again.Continue reading “Do You (Still) Believe in Magic?”
Counterspell
October 1st, 2020 This isn’t a political post. Honest. It starts from a moment during the debate, but it’s deeply personal and I think it’s worth saying. Last night, Trump attacked Hunter Biden’s problems with addiction. Joe spoke up and said he was proud of his son for dealing with those issues. Unfortunately, Trump’s commentsContinue reading “Counterspell”
Around The Fire
September 19th, 2020 Do you ever have a moment when you forget that you’re you? When you do or say something that is completely uncharacteristic of who you are now, but then remember that it used to be a part of who you were? I do. I’ll say something negative. Or I’ll react in anger.Continue reading “Around The Fire”
The Social Dilemma
September 12th, 2020 Shall we unironically discuss The Social Dilemma on social media? We shall! Let’s get this out of the way: if you’re a human and use any social media platform, this is essential viewing. It’s only 90 minutes long, and it contains information that should be shared with every human for the sakeContinue reading “The Social Dilemma”
Up With Down
August 15th, 2020 A few times in my life, I have discovered something at the exact right moment I need it. Maybe you’ve had similar gifts. A book, or a film, or a poet, or a fan club; art that transcends base entertainment and emotion to help you along a particular path or over anContinue reading “Up With Down”
We Can Care For All
August 13th, 2020 If you’re one of the people jumping on the social media trafficking bandwagon, please take a few minutes to read this information I’m sharing below. I call this a bandwagon for a number of reasons: 1. None of this is new. To make it appear that it is or that it isContinue reading “We Can Care For All”
Walls Come Down
July 26th, 2020 This is America. So, you can look at this photo; but I need you to really see it. See her face. See her behavior. See her shirt. This is the kind of facade that hate has built in this country. Trevor Noah was on Hot Ones last year, and he had anContinue reading “Walls Come Down”
Stranger Danger
July 20th, 2020 My anxiety is like a light switch, but one of those switches that doesn’t click; meaning, it’s always on, but at varying degrees of intensity. It’s always been that way. I vividly remember a hot day walking home from the library (which is just a few short blocks down the hill fromContinue reading “Stranger Danger”
