I walked through the first glass door and saw through the windows a bevy of international travelers and airline attendants. I was feeling confident and excited.

Super Mono & Small Goals
I have been sick since late January. I am not the kind of sick where I take some vitamin C, get some extra sleep and push through my normal schedule. I have been the type of sick in Little Women when you start to worry about Beth and put the book down to cope emotionally.… Continue reading Super Mono & Small Goals
Dusting Off
Yesterday was brutal. After the post I wrote, I continued to struggle emotionally. Then, more "terrible-awful" got tacked on to the day: I found out I didn't get a gig I auditioned for and got into a useless fight with one of my bosses which ended my time at that job.

Three Things I’ve Learned From Living Alone
1. I'm weird- When no one is around to hold you accountable for normal behavior, things can get pretty wacky. Recently my downstairs neighbors complimented my singing, which is flattering and humiliating all at once because it means they can hear me. A lot. I have full conversations with my pets, eat cold pizza with the… Continue reading Three Things I’ve Learned From Living Alone
