Mis(fitted)
Being a misfit had always been a feeling way too familiar to me. And over the years I’d had more than my fair share of emotional battles attempting to conquer it, to fit in. At first I would ask myself why – why am I so different, so ambiguous, so confused. Then I began accepting […]

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 […]
Cutting Ties
Every year around this time, I, as I’m sure many of you, reflect on the year that’s gone by – the good, bad, ugly, and undoubtedly amazing! This year has been special for one too many reasons. As fluid as it’s been, I have more than solid reason to say it has, by far, been […]
Do You Ever Wander?
Yes wander, not wonder. When I was young (and free from my self-imposed inhibitions), my most favorite way to spend time was to wander off into the streets, seeking out the adventurous story I would spin in my mind.

My Place
“I feel at home everywhere because I never really am home anywhere.” – Isamu Noguchi Now, more than ever, this sentiment holds true for me. I could have said these words, because that’s how much I feel them, live them. Just a few years ago I had a dream – to live in New York […]
A Simple Question
What is the one thing that if you could, you would want to do everyday, for the rest of your life? A simple question, or is it? A crucial answer. Although, how many of us can answer this with the blink of an eye? Then again, it is said, the feelings that are closest to […]
Conversations With Myself – 0813
There are so many things I want to do. Start. Where do I begin? What do you care about the most? Now? Then when? I think something has fundamentally changed within me. Just say it. I feel I have a bigger purpose. This feeling I feel, it is defining me in a new way. This […]
