The fireworks were done exploding and I had nothin’. At the end of every year I always find myself too busy (or perhaps that’s an excuse) to make the infamous “New Year’s Resolutions.” I start thinking about a good goal only to come up empty by the time the ball drops. Luckily, I did my […]
I can change my mind. I was not born with one set of thoughts and beliefs that was meant to stick with me forever. I’ve always been so committed and loyal to everything I do that I would sooner walk the plank then not follow through with something. It’s been a long time coming but […]
Real love stays. Real love comes with understanding and trust. Real love, well… it gets it. Real love can let go and hang on to the good at the same time. Real love doesn’t have to be forever but somehow it still is. Real love stays during the times you tell yourself, “you can do […]
How do we know when to keep fighting or when to throw in the towel? How do we know when the time is up on moments, on people, on phases of our lives? It’s hard to understand that there are things in our lives that can’t be forever; like, naiveté, our early twenties, and childhood. […]
I was asked a couple weeks ago what my favorite holiday tradition is. I thought hard about it, too hard, really. I called my mom and asked her what she was doing, I called my dad, and then I called my sister, the resounding reply was, “Um, ah, not sure yet.” What? Oh, that’s right, […]
Yesterday I decided I could officially call myself a runner.

But yesterday, oh yesterday, I wore runner leggings! That’s right, the long, spandex leggings put me […]
It’s hard to accept how small you and your life are. It’s a strange feeling to look at the world and realize how much bigger it is than anything you can even begin to conceive. There are millions of hierarchies, tons of groups and cliques, and over seven billion people in the world. 7,000,000,000 people. […]
I have serious control issues. I always want to be right [read: I always AM right]. I am a perfectionist. I am not a risk taker. I follow the rules. And I am a lot of fun. Sound it, right? I’m not all of these things but at the same time, I am. But who […]
We’ve all done it and we’ve all defended ourselves with an excuse and then a final, “I need to stop doing it.” But when do you finally decide to stop texting and driving? For me it was about three weeks ago when I made a pact with my girlfriend. I’m not saying I did it […]
