An Ode to John Street

Although you were unreasonably cold, outrageously expensive, and ridiculously small, I will remember you fondly. See ya, John Street. It’s been a slice. dream/awake every saturday sometimes dinner...

Inverse

My ideas about nearly everything have evolved into an almost unrecognizable set of philosophies and beliefs. Somedays I wake up and hardly recognize myself at all. I have spent such a significant...

.

Here is to conquering the year of unmeasurable changes. 2013, I’m so glad to see you.

Write Like A Motherfucker

University was tough, but this just-graduated thing is even harder. University became this big comfortable blanket I wrapped myself in entirely, but as soon as I reached that 120 credit mark, the...

Growing Pains

I am floating through time and space, trying to find a place to sink my roots into. Trying to make a home here. Trying to take a step forward, but feeling too overwhelmed to even bother. Trying to...

Looking For

Lately I have been feeling completely devoid of any and all creative energy. All of the excitement that came along with graduating from university, searching for a job, searching for a home, moving...

Change change change.

And then it was October. Someway, somehow. Changes came like I wished they would, although not necessarily in the ways I imagined. For the first time in my life, instead of blatantly refusing these...

A Place to Call Home

I’m experiencing an intense feeling of displacement these days. I’ve moved out, moved in, moved out again, and am currently waiting with bated breath to find out if that sweet little place in that...

Love Like This

My very dearest friends are engaged to be wed. Heather and Ben are two of the most generous, loyal, and kind-hearted humans I have ever known and the love they have for one another is astronomical....

One More Time

For one final time, I am heading into the deep, dark, and dreary alternate universe known as the end of the semester. Wish me luck, and if you don’t hear from me in two weeks, send help.This time...

The Beginning of Everything

“The air was soft, the stars so fine, the promise of every cobbled alley so great, that I thought I was in a dream.” Photos taken May 2012

A Virtual Postcard

Greetings from paradise, It’s love. I’ve been sleeping 10 hours a night, eating copious amounts of tropical fruit, swimming with sea turtles, laughing (a lot), thinking (a lot), and reading for fun...

Getting Well

Someway, somehow I woke up a couple weeks ago and felt like myself again. Perhaps even a better, stronger, more confidant version of myself. I used to think that if I ever found myself in the...

Good Morning Heartache

A broken heart is a merciless thing. It hurts, always, but not quite enough to make functioning impossible. In the better moments, life goes on and so do you, even though you are unable to think or...

Uncertain, but hopeful

“I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.” Also.

Closer

Apparently armed with graduation request forms I am an invincible human being. Papers and presentations and projects are being hurled my way but I’m soaring past, unfazed. Strangers are asking me...

Diner Dinner

I only frequent diners with menu items that include pickled vegetables, crispy pork belly, and a sandwich combination of short ribs and brie. Hello Red Wagon. Welcome to the Red Wagon Of course the...

FE

I’m courting a new buddy these days… introducing the Nikon FE. We’re taking our time getting to know one another and to be honest I’m not sure how I feel quite yet. At first I was slightly put off...

Lately

Some weeks I don’t feel much like myself at all. Thank goodness for fresh air, kale chips, a boyfriend who smooches my cold nose, vitamin D, and scenes like this.

Needed: Vacation

Right now is THE time for a holiday. Most likely to somewhere approximately 30 degrees warmer than wherever you are currently at. Somewhere you can show your naked, glowing limbs off for the first...

February

I can’t stop thinking about Spring. Thinking about longer, warmer days. Thinking about planting vegetables in the garden and buying myself something pretty to wear with bare legs. Typically I like...

About Time

I meant to develop my film earlier, but Kyran and I ended up eating burgers at a diner and raiding a bakery down the street instead. And then I entered into an alternate universe known as the 4th...

Would Rather

I refuse to talk about the weather. Suffice to say, my school has been closed for the past three days and I’ve spent the week doubling up on oversized wool sweaters and wrapped in a down duvet....

Last night over tacos at Bandidas the temperature dropped, the sky opened up, and it began to snow. As we drove home, the world disappeared beneath a clean white cloak and the only people in the...

Go There

The Saturday following American Thanksgiving, when nearly everyone was asleep, or hungover, or stuffed, or shopping in a shopping mall, we drove into the country to the quaintest of towns for...

The End Again

The last days of the year seem to linger forever, leaving me with more than enough time to sit around feeling nostalgic. As a result, I no longer seem to exist in the present time, but somewhere...

Finding Joy (with $8 in the bank)

There is an intense pressure at this time of year for people to spend a lot of money they don’t have whilst maintaining an obnoxious level of peace and happiness. It is undoubtedly a season of...

Long time no sea

When you’ve spent an entire week sitting in a chair whilst a) listening to never ending lectures, and b) staring at a computer screen trying to tackle a 22 page report followed by two research...

Almost

End of semester, what’s a girl to do? Logically get lost in a forest, cuddle with mystical pups and kittens, get found, and eat waffles. dope sickness Long walks through the woods to clear my head...
