Or stay still and bathe in the glow of each moment. Or you know, wallow in it. Which this gal spent A LOT of time doing… We may wish our past speedy…

It’s Not You Society, It's Me

I hid so well, for so long I believed I‘d already been found. — Dear society it may concern, I’ve blamed you for my mistakes for so long that facing the truth seemed pointless.

The Pursuit of Happiness is a Load of Bullshit

Dude, Happiness is your responsibility. Chasing it is dragging you down. — We are told we should be happy, and strive towards our happily ever after life.

Why are Adult Friendships so Scary and Hard?

Did I miss the memo? Can’t we be more like kids again? Or drunks in the smoking section? — Every week we go to a trampoline park. Every week my daughter collects a friend. They might bond over seeing how high they can throw a soft toy in the air or build a foam block house together. Sometimes the other kid comes back next week, sometimes they don’t —…

Or doing the dishes when you’d rather be doing…You know, literally anything else? Is adulting really about picking the more responsible option?
