Since my last post, my life has been more… interesting? That or a combination of dramatic and exciting. A better writer would probably use one word for those three, but here we are. Life has also been frigid, literally. Winter has most definitely arrived. Anyway, things have been happening. The first and most wonderful being…

Moving to Chicago
This is a tough one. I wasn’t sure if this post would come, but this morning I woke up with the words. I didn’t want to write this because I don’t like thinking about this time in my life. I don’t like to give this person thought or any opportunity to influence my thinking. I…
Home for the Holidays
Leaving Chicago at 6am on a Saturday morning was one of the best ideas I’ve had lately. I tell you what, driving on empty city streets was liberating– I highly recommend. My good friend, Lindsey, and I made the trek to our tiny Michigan town today. Road tripping with a friend definitely makes the five…
Catching Feels
Katy Perry says that we shouldn’t be afraid to catch feels, but it’s hard to keep reminding myself that. Are you pumped for my first post about dating? I’m pretty nervous, but here we go. Not long after my birthday, (November 10 for those who don’t keep track) I put myself back in the dating…

Who Runs the World
Beyoncé has been singing about it since 2011, and it looks like she was onto something. Since early October, women have been flooding the world with their #metoo stories. I was hesitant, at first, because the cynic in me understood that the probability of these stories making change was low. So, I wrote the following…
Confessions of a Coldplay-aholic
When I was 15, my parents gave me the coolest Christmas present. I opened a series of nonsensical clues of which I was to make sense of. Ultimately, I put together that we were about to go on our family’s first cruise. Aren’t my parents great? Trying not to gush; but, they really deserve the…
