Yesterday I wrote a blog post that was focused on something I was currently thinking about. Friends had a baby and I wrote all the rambling little thoughts in my head. And it felt good, which is a breakthrough for me because I’ve really been struggling with my blog for quite a while. As a […]
Now That I Can’t Rely on My Looks
High School Reunion (Why Is This Not a Musical?)
My high school reunion is this weekend. I’ve been lying low, flying under the radar.
