What My 30 Looks Like
Tomorrow I am turning 30. I think this post is mostly me trying to exist in this moment where I am still 29 but prepared for 30. My twenties felt adequately long and I don't feel like I missed them or they went too fast or anything like that. I guess I just feel strange to… Continue reading What My 30 Looks Like
Ireland Days 2-6 (Dublin)
Note: I wrote this while still in Dublin but have taken a week or so to edit and polish it, so this all actually took place May 24-28, 2015 in spite of when I'm posting it. So much to catch up on!

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 full conversations with my pets, eat cold pizza with the… Continue reading Three Things I’ve Learned From Living Alone

The Beast Of Adulthood
Being an adult is hard. I feel like my responsibilities are a game of whack a mole, always hitting one while three more pop up. Feelings of tension and suspense are held throughout my body because there are so many things that people never talk about and that spring up on me like a creepy… Continue reading The Beast Of Adulthood
Year One
One year ago today I wrote about my mother's passing on day one. Looking back I see that much has changed but the missing her has not lessened. My Uncle Michael said to my Aunt, "The hole in your heart will never go away, but over time it will hurt less to touch it". I'm… Continue reading Year One
The Night Before
One year ago right now I was home. I was getting ready for bed knowing that I might wake up in a world where my mother wasn't alive. A part of me was hoping it would happen in the night so I wouldn't have to sit in hospice watching her in a state I knew… Continue reading The Night Before
