Today of all days, it’s easy to be terrified. As a woman, as a human, as anyone who is compassionate, intelligent and aware. But I’d like to focus more on hope. Because without it we have nothing. There are thousands of artists, poets, musicians, and writers who’ve inspired me during my myriad trips around the […]
I don’t think many people who know me IRL would be used to me describing myself as “lucky”. Privileged, passionate, depressive, outspoken, opinionated-yes. I’m not sure if I ever really believed in the concept of luck. People who are born with advantage have opportunities. People who work really really hard (like every single “illegal” immigrant […]
I don’t feel old enough to have lost three dogs in my lifetime; but here I am. Hailey went into surgery this morning and it was worst case scenario-riddled with cancer; everywhere. I think a part of me knew this would be the outcome; I just really, really, really hoped I was wrong. My first […]
It’s like a glitch in the fucking Matrix I swear. I adopted my first dog (as an adult) in 2009. She was a stray 1yr old white pit/pointer mix with brown spots the shelter had named Valentine due to the heart shaped spot on the top of her head. She had no idea how to […]
It was our last day in New Orleans. We were hung over, probably drinking white russians at noon and strolling the French Market like the starry eye’d 20 year olds we were. From Jackson Square to Decatur there were artists selling their wares, tarot readers, a carnival of chaos and commerce. I found a sketch […]
This quote’s origin is usually misattributed to German architect Van Der Rohe. No one is quite certain where it came from; but my, my, my, is it not truth. Sometimes you have to look at life through a wide lens. It’s better to not get hung up on the minutia. It can be more difficult […]
I’m so lazy today. I feel like posting but not writing. I’ve been going hard with the fiction lately and I’m finding that flowing much easier than the uncomfortable exposure of blogging. So. All I have to offer today….a few of my favorite things. And a song I’ve been playing on repeat for a while […]
It’s been a long time since I’ve really celebrated my birthday. Or, more accurately, since the day of my birth has been celebrated around others. I am loath to draw attention to myself and yet, feel slighted if not noticed-typical for my sign. Yes, I do blame quite a few of my flaws on astrology; […]
No one I know would ever accuse me of being ambitious in the technical sense. Weird, compassionate, dark, verbose; yes. Drawn to and propelled by some societally deemed, capitalist driven, status and materially rich nirvana? Never have I ever. Not to damn the people who are. I admire my friend’s ability to navigate the ridiculous […]
If getting jobs was a job, I’d be #1 in the world. In the last six months I’ve been offered roughly 35. In my life…maybe 200? I don’t have a degree and I don’t consider myself an expert on anything aside from maybe astrology, obscure old school horror, reading and convincing fearful dogs to come […]
everyone else is having fun
