It's been a while. I got busy, but I'm still here. https://youtu.be/ZcLxtLRs2YY
The New Job
I'm sorry I haven't written in a minute, but as you can probably guess from the title, I've been occupied. In January, I was lucky enough to start a new job. My first permanent full-time job, and in the middle of a recession no less (although, it seems there's a recession every year, so perhaps … Continue reading The New Job
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
Life in Quarantine
The second of my quarantine vlogs, one month into isolating from the pandemic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kzeu9n55XWM
Our Arena
Life is like the Hunger Games, except we don't know we're in the arena. We live in our little bubble, knowing it's shit but not knowing anything different. Every so often we reach the end, we hit the wall, we see a ripple of electricity across what should be sky, and we realize it's all … Continue reading Our Arena
Self-Isolation Thoughts
I am writing this from bed on Day 9 of self-isolation (because I'm smart). I hope you're doing well. I think the days inside are starting to get to me. Before the pandemic it was starting to feel like I was getting my shit together. I was carving out the beginnings of a career in … Continue reading Self-Isolation Thoughts
Thoughts on Honesty
I never really considered myself an honest person. I've been thinking about the traits I was proud of when I was younger. The ability to lie convincingly and without shame was one of them. Obviously, it isn't exactly something someone should be proud of, but I was a good liar and it protected me. So yes, I … Continue reading Thoughts on Honesty
Thanksgiving 2017
I have a new schedule. Now that I have my licence and a car, I drive my brother to school in the mornings when he's over at my dad's with us. This is good. It keeps me from working into the early hours like I used to. I forgot how much I like having mornings. … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2017
Thoughts on Guilt
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
