What are you afraid of? Monsters, spiders, heights? Not being able to wake up in the morning? I've often wondered what it'd be like to get in a car accident, or fall of the golden gate bridge. I'm not scared, I'm just not stupid enough to try. I have a life to live. Does death … Continue reading Fear, Pt. 1

Why Music Is Universal
Recently I've started listening to kpop, and for my new friends this is strange and somewhat laughable, but for my friends who have known me longer it's nothing out of the ordinary. I've been listening to music in other languages since I discovered German and Russian music in middle school (Tokio Hotel and t.A.T.u. to … Continue reading Why Music Is Universal
The One Where I’m High On Life
Today I feel amazing. It doesn't matter that I'm sick and hungry and could use a nap. I. feel. amazing. Progress is happening. I always write my Motivation Monday posts about making goals and chasing after them, and I do believe that, but of course it's a little different to follow said advice and even … Continue reading The One Where I’m High On Life
stars & sailboats
I. am. tired. You exhaust me. I'm trying to fight for you but it's almost like you're fighting against me. If I am the north star trying to help you figure out in which direction to head, you are both the ship missing a sail and the clouds that cover me up. I can only … Continue reading stars & sailboats
The One Where All Systems Are Down
This isn't the post I wanted to make today. Or this week. How many times have I said that before? ugh. In an ideal 2016 my blog will be full of regular posts about advice and writing. Posts that are well written and thought out. This is not one of those posts. This is a … Continue reading The One Where All Systems Are Down
The One Where I’m (still) Sad
Dear Me, How are you? I know I know the answer to that. You've been better. Your best friend just came into your room and asked what you were doing today and then said "I'm sorry you're sad." You knew, deep down somewhere, didn't you? You knew you were sad, but you didn't think you … Continue reading The One Where I’m (still) Sad
Good Days Aren’t Always Easy
I'm sure if you tried you could picture what is to you the perfect day: nothing standing in your way, nothing can go wrong (was that just Elle Woods?), but what if I told you your perfect day could come in the form of struggling and nervousness? Here's a better quote: "I'm not telling you … Continue reading Good Days Aren’t Always Easy
The One Where I’m Trying
I fell on my butt last week, I'll admit it. I didn't want this to be my Wednesday post. I had a much better Wednesday post planned than the word vomit that is this introspective series, but unfortunately I stumbled a bit today, too, and I couldn't do it. I'll get that up another day, … Continue reading The One Where I’m Trying
The One Where Mental Illness is No Joke
If the point of this series is to record genuine human emotion, then that is the only point of blogging today. You don't want to read about me not at my best, and the post I had planned for today that had nothing to do with my lack of emotional well-being, well, I didn't plan … Continue reading The One Where Mental Illness is No Joke
The One Where I’m Having a Great Week
I'm realizing I should have called this series "Letters to Myself," but now it feels too late to change it. Oh well, missed opportunity. If you are not myself, this is a regular introspective series on my blog I started to reflect on the internal and external happenings in my life while on exchange last … Continue reading The One Where I’m Having a Great Week
