6 Things that Made Me Happy this Week (#ThankfulThursday)
On Father’s Day I thought I’d give my dad a gift he’d actually appreciate (and I had no money or idea what to get him and I even forgot to buy a card) and I started cleaning all of my crap out of my parents’ attic. Now, you can maybe only appreciate the true significance…

The Perfect Stranger by Megan Miranda
Okay, it’s way past my bed time (I know, I know, it always is) and I’ve got lake water and Bud Light Limes filling my brain (isn’t that just Summer in a sentence?), so I’ve gotta get this done before I drift off into sweet, splendid slumberland. Welcome to fiction week on #BookTalkTuesday! Today’s featured…

10 Things I’m Grateful For Today #ThankfulThursday
After my weekly 12 hour workday on Thursday, I could easily just come home, throw myself onto my laundry-covered unmade bed, and call it a night. In fact, that was my routine for about a year straight. I’m happy that even though I’m gone 8:30am-8:30pm, I finally started to make time for things I…

Goodbye, Things by Fumio Sasaki
Guess what, I’m here! Keeping up my schedule like a boss. I’ve decided to alternate each week with a fiction and nonfiction book, so because the last one was fiction, this week we’re going nonfiction. I’m still loving that simple, authentic living is on trend, because I’ve always enjoyed reading about it and I fantasize…

Okay, So it Didn’t Happen This Week, a Belated #ThankfulThursday
Yeah, so #BookTalkTuesday and #ThankfulThursday were a no go this week. On Tuesday I was too busy getting out of my own way to apply for a couple jobs I was terrified of but wanted desperately. Yesterday I was occupied spending my time with some amazing people I don’t get to see nearly often enough.…

10 Things I’m Grateful For #ThankfulThursday
Okay, I’m am typing on fumes here and simultaneously drafting up a new resume and creating a portfolio website, but I am going to get this post out when I promised to goddammit! It’s supposed to be everything I’m grateful for this past week, but since I’ve been absent from your browsers for so long,…

The Last One by Alexandra Oliva
All right folks, it’s time to shake things up (by being consistent, which I realize does not make much sense. But moving on…). I’m going to try something new where certain days of the week I post about specific things. This way (I’m hoping), I’ll stop slacking off so much and actually post once in…

Pocketful of Poetry
It’s been a while since I’ve posted (babbled incoherently for paragraphs on end, because that’s the beauty of the internet), but I’m back! (Obviously). One of the numerous reasons (excuses) I’ve been away is because I’ve been focusing on my poetry. My God, that sounded just as ostentatious as someone telling you they’ve taken time off…

Mixed Messages
Every year, every week, every day, I want to be better. This leads me to read a LOT of blogs, books, and articles about being better, being a more authentic version of yourself, handling your finances better, finally making things happen for yourself, and so on. I read so many things that make sense, so…

What Happens After
Yesterday I could barely manage the strength to get out of bed. Today I feel differently. Something happened after the initial shock that slammed my heart to the ground dissipated, after the screaming grief settled into a more manageable hum beneath my skin, after the tears couldn’t muster falling one more time. Something happened after…
