I try not to live my life based on 4am thoughts. But sometimes that’s when my mind is the clearest. In my dreams I lose Joel. In my dreams we drift apart. In my dreams I see my perception of reality taken to the extreme. I see my fears clearly—…
I didn’t think I could feel any more pain than the night my ex-fiance told me he wanted to see other people. But he promised he loved me, so I stayed loyal to him—dangling like the loose string of a worn out sweater. It wasn’t until I met Joel that…
“If we’re not engaged by New Years, I’ll pull the plug,” became “My birthday is the cutt-off,” which is now “FINE! I’ll wait forever…” Problem is I’m not great at waiting—especially when it’s a major life event. I don’t like to stay on the high ground and wait for the…

When I was 14, shows like 90210 and The OC were all anyone talked about. And in those shows the people threw an elaborate party for ev-ery-thing. Birthdays. Christmas. Even the secondary holidays like St. Patrick’s day. Almost every weekend the girls would shop for a new dress, and the…
I never saw a trailer, instead, I heard about Netflix’s first feature film on the good old fashioned radio. A couple days later Joel finally convinced me to actually watch it. My first impression of Bright was that it’s similar to the John Wick films, but with even more gunfights…
