Well, here we are, on the eve of the election. I don’t know about you, but I’m plum near ready to wave the white flag and just surrender. I can’t take the negativity any longer! We have seen, unprecedentedly, the worst of humanity. I’ve seen people on my Facebook newsfeed proclaim, “unfriend me if you’reContinue reading 7 Things I Learned This Election Season
I am heart sick tonight. Not because of the election. Not because there’s a rumor that Drake and T. Swift are dating. But because of a piece of news I heard just the other night. Over the weekend, at my cousin’s university, there was a tragedy. His roommate: a kind, loving, and incredibly smart youngContinue reading Light in the Dark
I feel like recently, Facebook has taken it upon itself to make me feel as old as possible. Haha I kid you not, every day it seems like I’m getting a notification that “so and so and I have been friends for 9 years!” Or “this happened 8 years ago today!” And it assaults youContinue reading Top 4 Things Recovery Has Taught Me
So I got called a “fatty” by someone on Instagram today. And now, before I go any further, this is not some lame attempt to fish for complements or whatever. It was a bogus remark by a troll on the internet. I deleted it. But not before I went to the guy’s page, andddd it was allContinue reading Internet Trolls
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet…” I know. I know. Now a days good ol’ Bill’s iambic pentameter is about as relevant as a MySpace profile in 2016. OK OK, maybe an overstatement. After all, one of my favorite roles I ever portrayedContinue reading What’s in a Name?
Facebook is a funny thing. Honestly, you never know what you’re going to get when you pop on The Book. Will you see a hostile political rant? A funny meme about cats and Crossfitters? A pregnancy/engagement announcement? It’s a veritable grab-bag of posts that can either make you dry heave, bust out laughing or hardContinue reading On Feeling
So a funny thing happened on the way to the forum… JK. If you get that joke, consider yourself a musical theater geek. (You’re in good company here) 🙂 Clearly, I’m in a mood tonight. This weekend was one for the books, y’all. Let’s just say, I ended Saturday night at a Brazilian dance bar/tin roofed lean-to/shantyContinue reading Beer Hall Banter
Not gonna lie, I’m feeling a bit, well, dejected at the moment. Deeply. Nothing superficial – no boy drama or insecurities about how I look. No, this is character-level. In the past 24 hours, I feel as though I’ve been the butt end of two very bad jokes. Episode 1: Allow me to set theContinue reading When the World Laughs
I’ll tell you what, you’ve never watched a presidential debate until you’ve watched one in a bar with a bunch of Europeans on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I promise, I’m not getting political… But let’s just say, they don’t mince words about how they really feel about Trump and Hillary. The term “Satan’sContinue reading Anorexia & the Sanctity of Human Life
Maybe it’s because I’m listening to some vintage John Mayer (Room for Squares — holla!), or the fact that I’ve spent the last 30 minutes wistfully looking through old pictures of my family, but here I am, back at the keyboard, taking on a subject that has been weighing on my heart all day today.Continue reading Questionable Authenticity
