A place unimaginable, forlorn, and fearful. A place you have to pass by, pass through, sometimes live in. A place that is born in a single thought – “I don’t know.” If you think about it, this is said so many times, it might as well be the most known thing you hear. What do […]

I don’t want this
“I don’t want this” for every time you have this thought it is not a breath wasted but a life gained the power of knowing what you don’t want you are one step closer to what you do in the pool of infinity you have a finite thought “I don’t want this”
Naming Your Feelings
What are they? Where are they born? Where do they die? Or do they? Can words do justice to the feelings you feel? Or can feelings truly express what you say through your words? Different people. Different feelings. Different meanings. I rarely struggle with words on paper, but to express my feelings I hesitate. I […]
Something Sometime Maybe?
What is it about feelings that they can be just as ambiguous as insinuating? Signals. Different then and now. Different every time. The look. The like. The touch. The text. The invitation. The request. The anticipation. The acceptance. The validation. The truth. I’ve been meaning to write more about feelings, you know the deeply emotional, […]

Goodbye to All That. Didion does it again. She was 29. I remember when I first visited New York City, I stepped out of the bus onto the curb outside Bryant park and looked up. The lights lit, the city grit, this was it. I turned around and said to my mother, “I want to […]

Yes. I’m here. In The Dam. Sitting in a coffee shop – Brug34 – by the canal. A cappuccino, a mac, a story begins. I’ve been dreaming of this for so many months, of what it would feel like, of what it would be, of what I would think, in this moment. The reality is […]
Full Circle
It’s funny how life has a way of coming full circle. When we are young we do things the way we please. It’s mostly because it’s the only way we know how – to listen to our heart. We are unadulterated by societal pressures and opinions, the very ones that have the power to take […]
Words
Blank – like a canvas. I write, I erase, I type, I delete. A thousand thoughts and no words at all. Blank – like a canvas. A restlessness, few feelings too many. This is where it all began. Outlet through words, a mind’s escape, my mind. A dream of today, born many yesterdays ago. A […]
Are You Worried About Your Teeth Falling Out?
So does this mean I’m an anxious person? That is ALL I could think of after reading a post on Snapchat (yes I use it, and love it!) about common dreams and what they mean. I’ve pretty much had a hate-hate relationship with my teeth since the time that I was very young. I LOVE chocolates, […]
Who Do You Want To Be?
A top pick from one of the most frequently asked questions, I’m going to say from age 3, “Who do you want to be when you grow up?” What’s wrong with who I am? Simple, yet unsaid. A lot of questions raced through my mind while listening to Shane Koyczan’s TED talk – a plea for more […]
