When I was researching my posts for this week, I ran into so many quotes that enraged me. So many thoughts from others that exemplify this mostly broken system whereas we act like assholes and then apologize, where we pretend that we can handle stuff that we can’t, and where we act like apologizing again… Continue reading Oops.

We live in a society filled with offensive behavior and all the apologies. We ladle out the word sorry as if it bears some meaning beyond its actual meaning. At the heart of it all is unapologetic behavior that is mostly followed by apologies. We apologize because we think it’s what we should say. I… Continue reading Sorry. No, Really.

Happy Friday kids. Let’s keep on the truth telling business, shall we? I buy shit that I see advertised by influencers. I get influenced. I’m not ashamed of this. I’m grateful that someone else has done the work to find an obscure thing that makes me happy. They are a human representation of Google, without… Continue reading I like carbs.

Let's go back to my moment of strength that I described yesterday. My truth telling. Here is what I was really thinking: First of all, I’m sick to fucking death of proving myself to people who are supposed to be my friends. I will no longer explain that I am not judging. I will no… Continue reading More? More.

This has been great, right? A little spin through time to understand where the holiday came from. Do you feel educated? Smarter? Does Valentine’s Day feel more significant for you now? I hope not. Mostly because I haven’t said enough yet but also, because, spoiler alert: I’m going to wrap this up with a sentiment… Continue reading Let’s be human, shall we?

Happy Tuesday friends. My intention was to research the history of Valentine’s Day. That statement might feel a bit out of the blue (outside of the very recent passage of the holiday), so let me share the three pieces of information that will likely provide mildly sufficient context: 1. I spoke to three friends yesterday,… Continue reading A Letter to St. Valentine

I was feeling better. No time like the present to jump back into the big, bad, scary world of dating, right? I knew that there were jerks out in the world and I wasn’t worried. I now knew some of the signs and even if I didn’t pick up on things straight away, my learning… Continue reading What? Why? Where? Who?

Do you think I got a little off track in the last day or so? I get why you might feel that way but don’t worry. I know what I’m looking to convey here. I’ll get to everything in due time. It was important for me to lay this all out for you, step-by-step. It… Continue reading I just want to feel normal again…

Yeah, so therapy always seemed to me like any other doctor’s appointment. Congestion and sinus pressure? Go to the internist. Get examined, get diagnosed, get medicine, and feel better. Belly hurts? Call the gastro. Get examined, get a test, get diagnosed, take some medicine, and feel better. Well, except when I was diagnosed with celiac.… Continue reading Can you fix me NOW?

I have been really focused on this notion of owning what we want to work on. Being honest on a level that is difficult for most. We are too concerned with what people will think of us, what that looks like, and the work involved after we utter the words. I know that this is… Continue reading Ruffle All The Feathers.
