Well, it’s safe to say that my last post struck a nerve… Juuuust kidding. In all seriousness, thank you to everyone who left a comment and shared the post on social media. Respectful and healthy dialogue is so needed right now, and I loved hearing – and learning – from everyone. Question for you: What doContinue reading A Moment of Serenity
I was going to do a cheeky post on Taylor Swift or something, but…I just couldn’t. As much as I realllly didn’t want to write about the election, ignoring the state of our nation right now just didn’t sit well with me. Scrolling through social media and watching the news today, there was definitely aContinue reading Profile of a Trump Supporter
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
