It’s almost compulsory for a writer to reflect on their past and contemplate who they are, how they’ve grown, and what they predict for the future/what troubles they can exonerate from entering the new year. We look to a non-existent compass because no one has all the answers. Life is not a straightforward path, nor… Continue reading Only in Tennis
“Miss, are you you sick?” “Yes, I am.” “I can tell because your neck is red.” I didn’t have the energy or, quite frankly, composure to tell an 11-year-old student that my obnoxious cold has nothing to do with why I’m a red, blotchy disaster. At 44 months T.S.W. and succumbing to the plague that… Continue reading The Threadless Labyrinth
I’ve had cabin fever for months now. Every so often, I get to venture out, but for the most part, I was secluded in my home working on the documentary (I’ll make an update video soon). I was looking forward to getting back into my old job of subbing — not because it’s my passion,… Continue reading Use Warm Water
What is a Jellicle cat? Within these past two weeks, I’ve once again been nourished by talent, charisma, and feline poise. It’s no mystery how much I miss the stage. But when I’m engaged with such incredibly talented humans and then thrust back into my immediate reality, it reminds me how important it is to… Continue reading Where the Water Flows
As we enter into a new year, many of us try and figure out what our next 365 days will hold, or at least what we can control. Some make goals; some make resolutions. Others don’t wish to put that much pressure on themselves and just allow January 1st to be another day. Ever since… Continue reading 2018 Resolution
I celebrated my birthday today. It’s usually a time of reflection, of celebration of self, or an acute realization of our mortality that has unfortunately progressed. But I didn’t find myself either relishing or despising this trip around the sun. What I did feel though — despondence. Not the greatest feeling on your big day.… Continue reading Love, Inferno
For the past two weeks, I’ve been taking to social media, exhibiting my happiness about getting to work with a Royal cast. All my pictures display smiles, kisses, and general overall bliss. One thing it wasn’t displaying was the state of my skin. It’s very easy, especially with filters and lighting, to make myself look… Continue reading On the Flip Side
I knew this day was coming long before it’s inevitable arrival. I didn’t want to acknowledge it in words, but that is how I’ve always gotten through the hard times. There is something healing in writing, in knowing that someone out in the world surely knows how you are feeling. Today would have been our… Continue reading Just Another Day
In the past 8 months, I have been to three weddings. All three were beautifully celebrated with so much love and happiness filling the air, good conversation, dancing, and vows that always made the tears well up in our eyes. All three also had something else in common: My other half was missing. While subbing… Continue reading 3 Weddings
In the very slow and quiet moments, it really hits me. I have been so overwhelmed and constantly moving lately that it just settled at the surface. I only feel traces, like a thin film at a superficial layer as the days pass. But while in NYC, my favorite city, Noah Gunderson swooning in my… Continue reading In the Still Moments
