Yesterday I said I would be braver, so today I'm going to write about what scares me more than anything: my feelings. That was supposed to be funny. Things are never funny when I try to make them funny. It's a curse, really. I've been realizing more and more lately that there's a feeling sitting in … Continue reading Thoughts on Guilt
Braver
Today feels like the first day in a while that consisted of more than work and Criminal Minds. Last night I was trying to put together a simple cover letter that would be suitable to send to an agent when I finish one of my novels. It took longer than I thought it would. Hours. When … Continue reading Braver
Nothing to Report
My last semester has been really busy. In between my job, classes, and studying, I've managed to find some spare time for socializing or working out. Still, I end each of my days the same: with an early bedtime. I love being busy, don't get me wrong. But often I'm too tired by the time I get … Continue reading Nothing to Report
Miserable
I'm having a miserable day. Actually, it was quite a nice day. It was sunny, I saw friends, I had a cool class, and I hung out in the bookstore. But I've had a cold since last night and therefore feel miserable. You know when only one thing is making you miserable and then you … Continue reading Miserable
Overview
I've been putting this off, the first post of the new year. I think I've been hoping that by putting it off I'd somehow make the days go by slower, but the opposite seems to be happening so I'm just going to write. 2016 is going to be a big year for me, I think. … Continue reading Overview
Outfit of the Week: Winter Workout

The new year is right around the corner and with it comes all those resolutions about going to the gym. Am I right? Well it seems this post is right … Continue reading Outfit of the Week: Winter Workout
Impermanence
It is a minute to midnight and I'm running on the last juices of my battery. My dog Foxy is asleep at my feet. I'm the only one awake. My siblings went to sleep early, excited for the early Christmas we'll be having tomorrow while here at my dad's house. Our actual Christmas will be … Continue reading Impermanence
How To Find Holiday Spirit
It has been three days and I haven't posted anything, though not for lack of trying. I think my problem has been that I've been getting too sentimental, too personal. It got to the point where I couldn't take myself seriously in the rereading of any of it. And so, I've decided to take a … Continue reading How To Find Holiday Spirit
What I Didn’t Know I Missed
I'm back in Canada now. While I'm glad to see my dog, my brother, and my big soft bed, I've realized that I was missing things about home without even knowing it. The cold, for one. Who would ever miss -10ºc weather? Well, I've missed it. I love feeling like a dragon and seeing my breath. … Continue reading What I Didn’t Know I Missed
Home(s)
I should be used to this by now. In a way, I suppose I am. I know what and how much to pack. I know what tickets I need, the times to book for. I know where to go and who to talk to. I know how to do everything in such a way that … Continue reading Home(s)
