March 10th, 2020 When you’re gripped by a dark thing, common wisdom dictates that you should take a look in the mirror. Stare into the eyes of who you are and what you’ve become to reach an mutual understanding. For me, the recognition and clarity never came through a mirror. It comes through photographs. PicturesContinue reading “Look”

I Heart Tomicon
February 29th, 2020 Tomicon, the convention I attended today alongside some of my favorite people, was low-key one of the best conventions I’ve been a part of. And that’s not hyperbole or an exaggeration; allow me to explain why. Immediately, Hastings is a splash of cold, stunning water when you arrive. It’s the kind ofContinue reading “I Heart Tomicon”
Home & Garden
February 19th, 2020 The other night over dinner, we were having a conversation that led into how I uncomfortably deal with specific kinds of attention. It’s something that I have thought about for years, but had never really put into words until now. When I quit drinking in 2017, I quickly lost somewhere between twentyContinue reading “Home & Garden”
Waterwatereverywhere
January 31st, 2020 I see clouds. A lot of them. I see them literally; people keep telling me the reason January has felt so long is because we haven’t seen the sun. And I see other kinds of clouds, too; a news story on the rise of suicides last night, more and more people inContinue reading “Waterwatereverywhere”
Don’t Be a Kelsey
January 22nd, 2020 This is a post on bullying. And it’s inspired by The Bachelor. And it actually makes a good point. I promise. I love a lot of things, and I especially love a lot of pop culture things. And my entertainment adoration causes me to think too much about them, but the endContinue reading “Don’t Be a Kelsey”
Be You
January 16th, 2020 My dog is a naughty dog. She isn’t trained, she’s very excitable and she just loves everybody too much. But when I think of how I would feel about her if she was someone else’s dog, I know I would absolutely adore seeing her every time. I would miss her if sheContinue reading “Be You”
Be Here
January 14th, 2020 If there is any good in my life right now, any light coming from the holes I have poked in my jar, I have to accept that exactly everything that has happened so far had to happen for that good to exist. And this is how I can relax my regret andContinue reading “Be Here”
Big Fish & Potted Plants
January 2nd, 2020 I’ve had two ideas in my head all day: The concept that fish only grow to the size of their tanks. And the phrase, “Bloom where you’re planted” (which I saw last night on Instagram). So first, the fish thing: I was thinking of how it applied to people who are consideredContinue reading “Big Fish & Potted Plants”
The Best Television (imho) of the 2010’s
December 30th, 2019 The Best Television (imho) of the 2010’s. As everyone with an opinion (hello, internet!) gathers to share their best-of lists of the decade, I am going to be uncharacteristically reserved; I don’t think I have a lot to add to the conversation when it comes to topics such as music or film.Continue reading “The Best Television (imho) of the 2010’s”
OK
December 24th, 2019 Okay (definition) Exclamation: used to express agreement or acceptance. Adjective: (of a person) in a satisfactory physical or mental state. Once a week, I spend some time with the most caring, compassionate, brilliant, clever and wise people I have ever met. They’ve taught (or re-taught) me almost every good thing I know;Continue reading “OK”
