It is November 6th, 2024. Trump just won his second term as president. Everyone is expressing their thoughts and emotions on social media. Instead of adding to the melee on there, I figured I'd put my thoughts in the place I created to put my thoughts in. Besides, I have too many to limit myself … Continue reading The Emotional Fallout of Election Results

Let’s Talk Money
This post is inspired by my friend Matt Mort's YouTube series on money! Check out his latest video at the end of this post! I'm a believer in de-stigmatizing conversations around finance. We live in a culture where money is (unfortunately) tied to our sense of self-worth, and as a result, money not only affects … Continue reading Let’s Talk Money
Consuming Books While Broke
The first audiobook I ever got was years ago when I won a contest and got the CD form of an audiobook. It was a huge pain. First of all, I had to find a CD player and figure out how to use it. Second, I had to find the time to listen to the … Continue reading Consuming Books While Broke

Thinking of Bones
Of all the things this Russian-Ukrainian war makes me think about, I did not expect the catacombs of Paris to be one of them. And yet, now that they're in my head, it makes perfect sense. Almost six years ago, I visited those catacombs and wrote this, which perfectly conveys what I'm starting to feel … Continue reading Thinking of Bones
ADHD: A little about too much.
What a day I've had. I know it's been a while, and I'd like to say it's because I've been busy—which is true, I have been busy—but I know that's no excuse because I started this blog as a university student and wrote posts daily through uni classes, running clubs, a part time job, writing … Continue reading ADHD: A little about too much.
Streaming Instead of Screaming
In my last post, I mentioned that there were two people in the world whose loss I didn't think I could handle. Now one of them has COVID. Amy was over for my birthday the week before she tested positive, so I had to quarantine and got tested for the fifth time. Negative. The tests … Continue reading Streaming Instead of Screaming
Thoughts on Death
It is approximately the eleventh anniversary of the day I began writing my big bad book. It currently stands at 103,741 words. I might have finished it by now, but I haven't written anything since Foxy died. On Friday, October 16th, I was writing a scene by hand, writing down for the first time some … Continue reading Thoughts on Death
Airing Out my Grievances
My part-time job is a bit of a drive, but I've never minded because nothing beats coming off a long shift and breathing in the clean air on the way to my car. Each breath feels like I'm getting triple the oxygen that I get in the city, and it feels so good. After my … Continue reading Airing Out my Grievances
