Coronavirus Chaos
We can’t control how COVID-19 will act, but we can control how we react. Our behavior during the coronavirus crisis matters. How we deal with each other and our social circles is just as important as how we deal with the virus. Behavior matters. There is a story out there in cyberland about how one ...Randomized Chaos: Shower Thoughts
I like the idea of shower thoughts, the things your brain wanders to when you’re stark naked under hot water- or cold, if you’re an absolute monster (seriously, who takes cold showers). But what specifically are shower thoughts?

My Massachusetts Vacation
We recently enjoyed a week-long, fun-filled vacation in the beautiful state of Massachusetts. Not only does the state have several of our country’s top-notch hospitals and universities, but its seafood is world-famous, and the vast sports culture thrives.

Part 1 The end of 2019 signifies the end of 2019 as well as a decade yet looking back feels more like scrolling through last week’s Instagram.

With this post, I want to look back on what stood out to me from this decade. I want to explore ...How My Nerdiness Is Helping Me Cope
I will be the first to tell you that suffering from anxiety is far from fun. Every moment of every day, my brain works against me.

Santa’s elf, Corlie, secretively known as Callous Corlie by others, finished getting ready for work. She stared into the mirror, then swiped her brown hair behind a pointy ear. After blowing a kiss at her reflection in the mirror, she headed to the kitchen. Aromas of coffee permeated throughout the single-story bungalow. Corlie filled a ...Genres I Love Writing
As I mentioned in my last post, you can write anything, anywhere, at anytime. Let’s emphasize for a moment the anything. As an aspiring writer, that word- “anything” is terrifying. When I first sat down to start writing seriously, I wondered briefly what to write. After an internal dialogue (re: talking to myself), I realized ...Forever Seventeen
