My mornings follow a pretty set schedule. Wake up at 7, do yoga by 8, walk into the kitchen, and start preparing breakfast. I notice the dish rag on the oven is hanging backwards. Weird, okay. Flip it around, and continue preparing breakfast. I lean over, open the cupboard, reach in for a pan, andContinue reading “Observations of a roommate”

I can’t fight this feeling anymore
June 2020 Writing isn’t creative for me anymore. I used to be able to sit down and conceptualize and research a topic and write about it passionately for hours. I could delve into politics and public affairs, or online shopping, or mental health struggles and go on and on and on. But now I’ve gotContinue reading “I can’t fight this feeling anymore”
Post-rebrand emotional revelations
Lately I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, reflecting, goal-setting, and preparing for my blog which, in turn, had me doing a lot of the same for my life. In 2020 I put in a lot of work building a solid foundation for myself to have a clearer perspective and better self-understanding before I movedContinue reading “Post-rebrand emotional revelations”
What’s cookin’ good lookin’
Hello and happy Friday! This is a quick update on my life, my blog, and things to come. As you likely know, I’ve been doing a lot of work lately. Working on my brand, my site, my content.

Learning to try and D.I.Y.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but 2021 isn’t going to be that much different than 2020. Don’t believe me? Are you still waiting for this to be the year you get in shape? Or the year you change your career path? What about the year you finally pick up that hobbyContinue reading “Learning to try and D.I.Y.”
She’s making a list and checking it twice
Today I want to take you on a journey, an expedition which takes us through the darkest corners of my mind. As I guide you through the spiraling crevices of my cortex, you may come to find that the skeletons in your closet walk a lot like mine. They may dress a bit differently andContinue reading “She’s making a list and checking it twice”
I put the ‘meta’ in ‘metacognition’
Focusing on mental health has rarely been more difficult or more important for me than this week. There have been more difficult times, more triggering times, more serious and heavier times. But something about this election really left me feeling so drained, so anxious, so out of control, so depleted of hope for the futureContinue reading “I put the ‘meta’ in ‘metacognition’”
Forever 22
It is October! (I need you all to know that I was really going to try to write an actual lede that’s mysterious and powerful and draws you in, and I went with this anyway.) Actually, it is October 2. Today marks one full month of living in California. Since arriving here exactly one (1)Continue reading “Forever 22”
“You care a lot about what people think. That’s a problem.”
She’s back and she’s got a therapist! (who is to be credited for the title of this post) I have officially lived two full weeks in California. And I still don’t know what to blog about. That’s not entirely true, actually. I have a lot that I want to write about but no idea whereContinue reading ““You care a lot about what people think. That’s a problem.””
You may not be wrong but you are probably mistaken
No blog in three weeks makes Jack a dull boy. (See what I did there?) But honestly y’all it has been a minute. I’m sure you’re thinking my hiatus was because of the usual cocktail of anxiety and depression but boy do I have great news for you. It wasn’t! I’ve been very busy andContinue reading “You may not be wrong but you are probably mistaken”
