I often find myself telling my hardest moments as if they were stories. If I fill in enough of the details, if I paint a vivid enough picture that I can make you actually think you were there – maybe I can paint myself out of it too, disown the thoughts involved. Does it stillContinue reading “The Way it Looked to Me – Part Four”

Poetry Series – Men
I feel like an asshole admitting it but I absolutely used to chuckle any time a man told me he was a feminist and then started passionately going on about women’s rights and equality. I just found it so peculiar to pour so much into an issue that I was sure couldn’t be hitting asContinue reading “Poetry Series – Men”
The Way It Looked To Me – Part Two
Time and time again I trace my unwillingness to share my perspective back to a fear of judgment. No matter how often I’m shown it’s okay, part of me always holds on to this worry that highlighting the parts of people and moments I love the most will somehow scare people away. The thing aboutContinue reading “The Way It Looked To Me – Part Two”

Poetry shows us that we don’t always have to play by the rules,Continue reading “Poetry Series – Attack”
Rules of Roles
Are they doing more harm than good? I have been fortunate enough to encounter plenty of opportunities that I was really excited about, meet an assortment of amazing people, and have really magical moments, so far, throughout my life. The less fortunate part of this, is that my immediate reaction so many of the timesContinue reading “Rules of Roles”
What’s in the Dark?
“We don’t expect a surgeon to have shame in sharing the same tools as a killer…” So I must confess as I make this reference that I’ve never really seen all of Star Wars but, we’ve all heard of the dark side, right? “Come to the dark side”, as memes, advertisements and jokes of allContinue reading “What’s in the Dark?”
Excitement, Energy and What are we doing with it?

What do you do to get yourself excited about a new day? What is excitement even and what can weContinue reading “Excitement, Energy and What are we doing with it?”
