I've had a lot of jobs since I entered the workforce when I was 16. I've worked everything from fast food to evictions, to tech support. I struggle immensely with working and I'm sure I'm not alone. It isn't that I don't like to work, it's that I feel like every job I have is … Continue reading having a REAL job →

existential purposes

My breath lingers in the frozen air, and snow dampens the noise. I contemplate what it means to be. I guess that's the question, didn't Shakespeare say? I don't know what I want anymore.

writing

I'm at another roadblock for writing. I'm unsure what to write about today. I think it's easy to get discouraged with writing because some days you sit down and stare at the page or the screen and it's like... I like bread. Do you like bread? Let's eat bread. No one wants to read that … Continue reading writing →

first love

I saw you from a distance, you were lost in thought. a familiar feeling rose in my stomach as I recalled the first time you kissed me, in the shade, along the banks of a lazy river, on a midwest summer afternoon. I recalled the beautiful blue eyes with the long lashes that lit up … Continue reading first love →

marriage and children

I was laying in bed, trying to decide what to write about. I mean I was laying in bed, scrolling through videos on Facebook on my phone. You know how that goes, one minute you're watching a 3 legged cat, the next you're watching a clip from America's Got Talent. I came across a clip … Continue reading marriage and children →
