The One Where I’m Walking the Walk
Okay, really it's more like crawling...but still, we all had to crawl before we walked. The lastĀ Letters I posted was titled "The One Where I'm a Fraud," and admittedly it was less than my usual motivating content. I just felt so fake, like I wasn't doing anything for my goals, which is honestly a feeling … Continue reading The One Where I’m Walking the Walk
The One Where I’m a Fraud
I'm a writer...am I? I write essays for school. I write for this blog. It's not very good. I want to write books, but I don't actively write my book often enough to say I write books. So am I a writer? But if I say I just want to be a writer, will I … Continue reading The One Where I’m a Fraud

Kitties & Cancer
Since this blog gets a lot of my stream-of-consciousness words, here's a video that's just that. My emotional ramblings after finding out my cat is dying of cancer.

Letters From Exchange: Thoughts on the Flight Home
Man, do I have to pee.Ā That's it, that's the end of my year (10 months, whatever) of exchange, of adventure.
