Last week I finally had the chance to catch the Mr. Rogers documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?,” and first I want to say that it’s such a heart-warming and inspiring movie. I feel like you leave the theater wanting to be a better person. Wanting to make the world a kinder place. So I’m... Continue Reading →
I’ve been listening to Neil Gaiman’s “The Graveyard Book” on audiobook recently and came across this quote: “It's like the people who believe they'll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, but who learn it doesn't work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you. If you see what I mean.”... Continue Reading →
Have you ever looked at your blood under a microscope? What do you imagine you’d find there? All your little red blood cells whizzing around like an episode of “The Magic School Bus?” While it wasn’t quite a Ms. Frizzle-worthy magical experience, I do feel like I learned quite a lot from seeing the life-giving...

It’s a simple conversation. They’re offering advice. “Oh, have you thought about taking a self-defense class?” “Are you streaming on Twitch?” “Have you found a doctor/church/gym/“insert a seemingly helpful suggestion here” yet?” And I always have the same answer: “I should do that.” Seems innocuous enough, right? Of course, I should do all those things.... Continue Reading →
First of all, I’m back on the blog! I took a break over Christmas to revamp the website and that turned into a nearly 6 month hiatus. What you didn’t know is that before I took a temporary break for website designing, I’d been struggling to write here on the blog for a few months.... Continue Reading →
Happy Thanksgiving, friends! And welcome to the holiday season! This time of year is filled with so many wonderful memories for me, but as someone who suffers from depression, it's also a particularly hard time as I struggle to separate the happiness and nostalgia from the anxiety and the clouds. I tried to capture some... Continue Reading →
If you haven’t already seen the slightly sleepy and delirious vlog I made with Alanna at William & Mary’s Homecoming discussing the peaks and valleys of post-college life, I highly recommend you do that now! Otherwise, I’m going to dive right into a few more thoughts on “Adulting” because even though I was SO TIRED... Continue Reading →
Two weeks ago, my friend Katherine called me on a lazy Sunday afternoon and asked what I would be doing the following Sunday. For once, I actually didn’t have much planned that weekend so I told her I was totally free, and she subsequently invited me to A Concert for Charlottesville hosted by The Dave... Continue Reading →
Let me tell you a little bit about immune disorders. If you didn’t know…they suck. (But I imagine you could guess that.) It’s really easy (and almost mandatory these days) to suffer silently from them. Because you’re suffering silently. It’s difficult to justify taking a “sick day.” My body is pretty much always in this... Continue Reading →
Last week on the blog, I shared with you my cat obsession. And this week I felt like I couldn’t leave out my other animal obsession: DOGS! More specifically, a Facebook group called “Dogspotting Society” which has honestly changed my life for the better. Social media in 2017 has pretty much been making a... Continue Reading →
