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…

afterparty
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…

What 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…

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…

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…
