The Things You Can Expect When I Fall In Love With... →
You can expect spending a lot of days in bed and ignoring people’s phone calls. I’m really into going off the grid and getting high on each other for nine hours. Has anyone noticed that when you spend all day in bed with a lover, it feels like a drug binge? You’re just addicted to touching their body and you feel like time is standing still. Before you know it, the day is gone and all you’ve...

I am Awkward.
Great word, you know, a little over used these days. But still- how can you not love a word with two “w’s” ?
Most think it’s just a cute thing, a little thing, those moments that make you think, “fuck me”.
Well I am, I am uncoordinated, I am nerdy, a clumsy intellectual -and have been all my life. You never saw me on the basketball court, or soccer fields. I’d have...

Familiar Strangers →
You used to have this. You share something that the whole world will probably never understand. Best friends. Never lovers. And you were both seemingly happy and content with whatever it is that you share. Until things began falling apart for no apparent reason. He walked one path, you walked another. You lived separate lives and met new people to fill the voids of your hearts. But here you are,...

I Hate You, I Love You →
If you love someone, you run the risk of not loving them one day. You run the risk of seeing them in a grocery store years later and hiding behind the display of bananas so you won’t have to say anything to them and pretend that the love never happened. It’s funny, isn’t it? When you run into someone like your childhood best friend (the one you haven’t seen in years, the one who became a Christian...
Life as a daydream: I’ve learned that no matter... →
I’ve learned that no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides. I’ve learned that it’s taking me a long time to become the person i want to be. I’ve learned that it’s a lot easier to react than it is to think. I’ve learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you. I’ve learned that maturity has more to do with the types of experiences you’ve had and what you’ve...
Open Letter to the Men I’ve Casually Dated →
To the Men I’ve Casually Dated:
I would ask how it’s going, but I already know. I know because I’m not afraid to look you up, or say hi, or meet you for drinks, even. I know because keeping up with you doesn’t torment me. I’m glad to know you’re doing well; I’m glad you’re there to Like my Facebook status, I’m glad we never made it to the point of no return.
What we had wasn’t epic, it wasn’t...
Travel Young →
The other night, I had a conversation with a young woman who had a number of decisions ahead of her, one of which was whether she should go to grad school or travel the world.
I told her to travel. Hands down. No excuse. Just go.
She sighed.
“Yeah, but…”
Never were more fatal words spoken.
Yeah, but… what about debt? Yeah, but… what about my job? Yeah, but… what about my boyfriend (or dog or...
