I felt real fucking salty when I woke up this morning to a flurry of messages for International Women’s Day. I’m not even sure where to begin, to be honest. Well, I guess I’ll start here… I was speaking with a close friend yesterday about future professional aspiration. I was sharing that I had been… Continue reading Optimistic, but Fragile.

Dear World.
Dear World, I’ve been thinking a lot about the decision in Alabama. You know, THE decision. I’ve wanted so much to write about it, but whatever I have to say feels insufficient. There are so many who are writing about THE decision, on all sides. There are women and men who have utilized IVF, clinicians… Continue reading Dear World.
A Case of the JetBlues.
I wasn’t sure what I wanted to write about this week. If I’m honest, it was a doozy. There was some good stuff in there, but it started on Sunday with some trauma and I’m having trouble moving beyond it. I am hesitant to even use the word trauma, because I understand that categorization is… Continue reading A Case of the JetBlues.
Love. Better.
I think about Valentine’s Day, but maybe not in the way that you think I think about it. I am not despondent on this day of love. I do not lament my single status or bemoan my past relationships. I am not bitter, nor am I resentful of those who have love in all shapes… Continue reading Love. Better.
Trust the Overthinker.
I saw a quote online the other day that read: “Trust the overthinker who tells you they love you. They have, most assuredly, thought of every reason not to.” I felt this so hard. I am, after all, a prime time overthinker. I spend most of my time trying to figure out what people are… Continue reading Trust the Overthinker.
Girl Math.
I saw this ad on Instagram the other day for something. I mean, it obviously did not do the job because I can’t remember for the life of me what it was. Something, anyway. The advertisement was focused on a sale and the verbiage used was as follows: girl math. I fucking saw red. That’s… Continue reading Girl Math.
Carve Out the Bad Sh*t.
I just read the short story Tender by Cherline Bazile. I’m a great lover of short stories for so many reasons, and I desire to write them well, but alas, I’d have to condense my words and thoughts and that is not a forte of mine. Anyway, I digress. I don’t want to give away… Continue reading Carve Out the Bad Sh*t.
A Hill to Die On.
I recently called a mentor of mine (was, is, not sure) to talk about something that was bothering me. There was a situation that I felt was patently unfair and if I’m being honest, I wanted a sympathetic ear. I’m not sure I was actually seeking advice. Maybe I was, but the biggest part of… Continue reading A Hill to Die On.
The Ins and Outs of Ins and Outs.
I had already been salty about the staggering number of in/out lists I was seeing everywhere. And then, I saw a notable economist (who shall go unnamed) interviewed whereas he shared his thoughts on market related ins and outs. Don’t bother talking about a potential recession, but feel free to ponder rate stabilization or the… Continue reading The Ins and Outs of Ins and Outs.
Dear John.
Dear John, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to our relationship. Well, I’ve been giving a lot of consideration to my relationships in 2023. Anyway, I’ve been reflecting. Also, analyzing. And then, a wee bit of overthinking. Okay, okay, you got me: there’s been a tremendous amount of thinking. It’s not very helpful that… Continue reading Dear John.
