  • I’ve smoked cigarettes since I was 14 years old. Don’t ask me why, I just really wanted to fit in with the wrong people. God, I was such a pushover as a kid. I remember just deciding I was going to smoke with my friends. It took a week to even be able to inhale

  • Waiting For Adventure: How We Fast Forward Our Lives Away

    It’s a new month. The possibilities are endless of what I could excitedly commit myself to accomplishing that I may or may not follow through with. Every month to me is like a New Year’s resolution list in which I choose lofty goals to achieve and then I promptly don’t when met with the slightest

  • Your life without a computer: what does it look like? First I think I’ll clarify, life where computers suddenly vanished would be chaos and we’d probably all die pretty quickly so good thing I don’t feel like spiraling into that hypothetical scenario. Honestly, I have no idea what I would do. I consider my phone

  • I accept that I am hopelessly ADHD. I struggle with executive function in every sense of the word. I can’t plan anything, except planning to buy planners that I fill out one week of and set on the shelf to never be opened again. I can’t manage time for the life of me. I make

  • What are your favorite types of foods? First and foremost, I am a fat girl. A food connoisseur if you will. I also married a fat guy, someone with a refined palate like me. This means we will go out of our way to try new things. And when I say go out of our

  • What I Could Never Have Realized I Needed

    I can’t say I have ever been a happy person. I think by the age of 12 I was just generally severely unhappy and isolated. I didn’t fit in well with other kids. I was awkward and went off on weird tangents about weird topics no one cared about. I was insufferably lonely; something that

  • Granada; We’re Really Not In Kansas Anymore (7/12)

    At some point in the bus ride to Granada, I passed the bounds of reality and entered into a new plane of existence. I’m not sure which mountain or what alien landscape finally pushed me to this realization, but by the time the we were about 20 minutes out, I felt the call of this
