Sometimes I like to dream about running an inn or having a restaurant. I’m not sure how committed I am to either in reality, but it’s a fun distraction to envision the vibe, menu etc. If I were to open a restaurant in the near future, I would name it Gather. Dinner would be by reservation only and served family style at a single long … Continue reading Just a little daydream
I’m 29, it’s Christmas Eve, and I just threw up in my parents’ bathroom. I’m in a really good place in life despite the questionable decision to mix wine and whiskey during a particularly intense bout of battling tops earlier this evening. I’m at least half drunk writing this post and the room keeps spinning towards me, but I want to remember this feeling because … Continue reading On the Eve
I have been guilty of holding onto things, particularly certain items of clothing, meant for “special occasions.” Pieces that are beautiful and that I don’t want to ruin, but that I love to wear when “given the chance.” Well, the fact of the matter is, I can’t take them with me.

Due to most businesses being shut down during this time, it has led to … Continue reading Life in the Time of COVID-19: Haircut Edition
It’s not always easy to start fresh, but here in the online world, it can be as simple as hitting delete, selecting a new theme, and starting again. And to be honest, at least this time around, I had no qualms scrapping my existing content. It wasn’t providing value to me anymore and I wasn’t updating with any regularity, so time for something new! This … Continue reading Why I’m Starting Over
