It's October. That spooky time of year. And what's more scary than ghosts and dating? Honestly, you could give me the option of a haunted house and a dating app and I'd probably go for the house. And I HATE haunted houses. I get irrationally scared and the entire time I'm wishing I was at... Continue Reading →
Survivors
I was secretly hoping I would never have to write this. I've kept my story to myself. I've read all the stories, I've witnessed the speeches, I've seen all the posts and spent countless hours scrolling through the comments like a fly on the wall. I have stood in silence and relived my experience vicariously... Continue Reading →
Stuck in a Moment
Oh. My. God. If you haven't fully indulged in the musical masterpiece that is Celine Dion's It's All Coming Back to Me Now, stop what you're doing and watch the music video NOW. You're Welcome. Grab a snack - it's over 7 minutes long. My friends and I rediscovered this song on a road-trip to... Continue Reading →
Dark Hearts
I couldn’t decide what to write about this week so I asked my brother and sister for suggestions. My first mistake. These were the responses I got: “People who ruin their own insults with grammatical errors” “Urban Meyer” – although very tempting, no. “Star Wars” “Blog about how cool nerds are” “Us” to which I...

Microscopic
Each of us is bestowed with a gift. We all have areas in our lives we excel in more than others. If I had a superpower it would be observation. As far as X-Men go, consider myself and Marvel gravely disappointed. I notice things - whoopity doo, right? Not exactly a box office hit. It... Continue Reading →
I bet you think this song is about you
You're not going to want to hear this but you have a problem. America has a problem. We all have a problem. While you may be the star of the show called your life, the spotlight doesn't always belong to you. In fact, there will be times it's not supposed to be on you. There... Continue Reading →
Impact
I was thinking about all of the people I've ever met in this lifetime and it got me wondering what kind of impression I give. How do I make people feel? What kind of vibe do I emit? There is so much concern about which path to choose but I'm equally curious about the path... Continue Reading →
Seat Taken
There are people out there who don't like me. Crazy right? (Kidding) We all have our haters. I consider myself a fairly mature adult and there is still drama in my life and surrounding me that is comparable to kindergarten playground showdowns. Call me a fool, but I had some magical notion that people would... Continue Reading →

WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY. This does not only apply to Spider-Man. This is not only for superheroes, CEOs, politicians and the suits of Wall Street. This is for each and every one of us because power is simply the ability to do something. Power isn't exclusive or classified. Power isn't always a gavel,... Continue Reading →
All the Feels
It was brought to my attention recently that I possess several qualities similar to that of an empath. In a nutshell: sooooo many feelings. Call it emotional, call it sensitivity, call it vaginal, call it whatever you want but it's exhausting and astronomically burdensome. I feel things ten times more than the average human. It...
