Thirty….as in 30!…did not shape up to be my parent’s “30.” Unsurprisingly, so far neither has 31. Not that I’m complaining. Because I’m not. I mean, just check out the majestic 30 Something life I lead… The other day, someone asked me what I did over the weekend. After thinking long and hard (TWSS), I [...]

Well then, let’s get to the topic at hand. There are perhaps no “right” words to write about what the last three months have brought to both of our lives. With or without meaning to, my boyfriend and I both placed expectations upon what living together would be- me, naïvely but in good faith, and he, apparently [...]

Five years. Last week, though (like the bad little blogger I’ve been lately) I only just realized, marked five years for me as a blogger. Reflecting on that time, both upon blogging and the content on which I write, I’ve experienced quite a bit of Life over those years… I fell in love. And out [...]

So, I have some news. I’m moving in with my boyfriend. In 14 days. The decision was made over a month ago and I’ve wanted to write about it ever since, but it hasn’t exactly been a happy occurrence. In fact, my days and insomnia-filled nights have been rife with doubt, anxiety, disappointment, and grasping [...]

I haven’t written in nearly a month. Instead of writing, I’ve been cooped up with my thoughts. I can’t seem to escape them. I can’t seem to articulate them. And I can’t seem to come to much of a conclusion except to say I keep feeling like life is passing me by. All around me [...]

Anyone who’s ever driven in a city knows there are two ways of driving: the way you were taught in Drivers Ed, and the way you learned to effectively get around when there are approximately 2 million other people moving about at the same time. You learn the bob and weave, learn to use turn lanes and [...]

I’ve found myself doing a lot of thinking lately about relationships and commitment and happiness. In particular, I’ve been wondering if it’s possible for me to have all three at once. And the more I think about it, the more I begin to wonder if my questioning whether happiness and commitment can go hand-in-hand is [...]
