• How We Met | Shindig Chronicles pt. II

    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 doomed from the start, but…

  • Whatever That Was

    Every once in a while I find myself missing Shindig.And every once in a while I laugh—remembering the cruelties I’d slip in so casually—still, wondering where his standoffishness stemmed from. I never had high expectations for this guy, considering we had met last October in his apartment at 12:30 a.m. on a random weeknight before…

  • What A Girl Wants (from her blog)

    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. Normally, I’d keep a more…

  • The 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 — not too old, and…

  • Strangers in Comforting Bodies: On the Desire to Be Known

    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 was talking to a friend…

  • Musings of a Lost Child and Unguided Adult: Diary of Growth and Longing

    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 a few months ago. He…

  • Shimmery Pieces in the Mosaic of My Life

    am everyone I’ve ever loved, especially those who have drifted the furthest. I carry around your pieces of my mosaic in my pocket, taking you from place to place, showing you off. Maybe one day I’ll laugh too hard or get so busy dancing that your piece falls at my feet, never to be seen…
