A natural consequence of my being a casual season behind in my writing is that I have an abundance of untold stories and therefore spend much of my free time spinning these stories. It is an amusing past time though, I do wonder which podcasts I am negating while doing so or meeting I have […]
On the morning of my 33rd birthday I peeled my eyes open not to a slew of happy birthday messages or notifications about successfully making this trip around the sun but rather to news headlines about the school shooting in Texas. That’s OK. I mean it’s not OK for the school shooting to happen but […]
Holidays and Corona are a dangerous duo. When Thanksgiving was coming around, I remember standing on an island of jealously watching as my friends fled away to their different adventures. Italy. Germany. Spain. I refused to take flight and stayed rooted to the ground due to my inability to believe that opportunity to venture would […]
It’s early on Thanksgiving morning on this side of the world. The sky heavy with dew and fog dancing between bare-boned branches as my record player spins in my living room. It’s high time for me to attempt a catch up as I am nearly a year behind in logging my chronicles on the internet. […]

I have a lot of thoughts right now. Not just in the present moment but as every day unfolds it seems that my mind is on overdrive. Throughout the 24 hour cycle, the range of my emotions can be extreme. A case of emotional whiplash occurs quite regularly. As the dawn breaks my heart and […]
We are living in a strange world at the moment, one of extremes. It seems that since January I have been playing out in my own mind what exactly this would look like for me. What would it feel like? How could I prepare? The thing is you really can’t. Nothing has quite turned the […]
Everyday I fall in love, just a little bit with someone new. It’s in the tiny movements that make us human, the cracks of time coming from our laughing eyes that draw a smile across my face. A stolen kiss, an act of kindness, the way we stop dead in our tracks when we come […]
