What Hurts Most Of All →
This makes me miss my great grandmother. She passed away when I was in 2nd grade. She had lost most of her mind by the time I was old enough to remember her, and I’ll always miss not getting to know the woman who I got my middle name after and who I “inherited my intelligence” from.

I Don’t Know What I’m Looking For →
“You keep running around the world, and I don’t know what you’re looking for,” said my overly exhausted father over dinner the other night.
The thing is that I don’t know what I’m looking for. I feel like I was more sure of what it was before I started traveling. It was easy to know at the beginning. I was tired of the people and places I knew. I was looking for some sort of inspiration for...

Do We Even Want To Get Married? →
One only has to look at the kind of response women get when they say they don’t want to have children to understand the degree to which these life choices are not entirely choices anymore. Even the most well-intentioned loved ones in her life will gently prod her about the idea that some day, at some nebulous-but-crucial moment in her life when she “grows up” and/or trips the wire to her...

But you don’t have time right now, whether you’d want to give it or not, and I can’t be that selfish.

I Have A Lot Of Feelings →
Feelings can crush us in two ways: they can terrify us into suppressing them or they can intoxicate us and leave us ravaged when they leave. It’s important to know how to feel feelings and not misuse them or warp them into something that they aren’t.
