ATTENTION, MY BRAIN IS TURNING INTO MUSH PLZ SEND HELP I just wrote a long explanation as to why, but I deleted it because it doesn’t matter. I’m dwelling too much on all the things that needs to get done and, as a consequence, getting nothing done. it is infuriating. When an essay that should […]
MoreI want to talk about the art of pretending bad days aren’t that bad. I am currently in a recurring cycle of horrible days. It’s sort of institutionalized into the life I’m living (See also: three jobs, 18 units, self loathing). It’s like I have all these things I want to do and write about […]
MoreMy goal here was to talk about how I’m learning to own up to the things I want in life career-wise and school-wise and then religion-wise, but this is actually a super long post so I’m gonna get right to it. I have been a Christian for as long as I can remember. My sisters and […]

MoreI’m gonna go out on a limb here and call Juniper the pivotal moment of my life thus far. But it’s not even a limb cause it really was the most life-changing thing I’ve ever experienced. The whole live blogging idea kind of fell apart when I realized that actually living the experience was going […]
More(Uh oh, here comes the long posts about all the profound ways this experience is showing me things about myself that I didn’t know) I’m more than a little bit disaster prone. This is probably not a new thing if you’ve known me for more than like, 3 minutes. And it’s also not something that […]
MoreUm, hi. I’ll make it quick. I’m currently sitting in LAX waiting for my flight to Boston. Tomorrow night begins my week long immersion into focusing on nothing but writing for a whole week.
