Time Traveler
I remember a conversation I had with a girlfriend once. “Sometimes I really do believe I’m a time traveler” “Yeah?” The air was crisp- the perfect balance for the wind to hit your skin with just the right amount of heat while the air sucked into your lungs drew slightly cold. The ground was wet,…

The “She” I Know
I may not know my best friend’s favorite movie, if she had any pets growing up, I may not even remember the year she was born- but I’ll always know her age. I know her order from the coffee shop, even on days she insists she’s “trying to switch it…

I think what I miss most about boys from college was having somebody to go home to when the bars close. Go home drunk, go home messy, go home to someone that, even briefly, knew who I was after the party was over. The slight stumble through their door, excited…
Keep readingWhat Makes A Name
As a kid, I spent countless hours before bed wondering about the weight of a name. How a name can shape the people we become. Does a childhood nickname make you revert back to a much younger, far more timid version of yourself? Does your middle name remind you of…

I guess before I go any further, I should tell you how we met. And I guess before I tell you how we met, I should provide the proper context. The Reckoning I entered college with a boyfriend from high school, and we stayed together for three years. We were…

I’ve spent a great deal of time deciding what I want out of this blog. I purchased the initial domain in January 2024, spent weeks tweaking the website layout and choosing which tabs to feature, did a little research on optimization… and then… moot! Fin. Done-ito. My blog was abandoned.…
Keep readingThe Warm Embrace of Uncertainty: On Growing Up and Letting Go
Dear diary, I am slowly learning how to embrace the future. When I was 13, I’d walk around and tell anybody that would listen, “I’m going to die by the time I’m 40.” I’m not entirely sure why 40 specifically. Maybe it was the perfect sweet spot in my head…

Last night I found myself somewhere I don’t belong- yet again. The laugh and smile were familiar, but the surroundings were not. Heck, he hardly was. I want to say that in those two hours we spent, we felt close and connected again, but I didn’t. I felt like I…

Hi blog. I’m typing this on an iPad I once relied on, but as of tonight, it’s got liquid staining all over. I went out with a few friends tonight. I had a good time, of course, but now we’re walking home and I’m thinking. There’s a boy I met…
