You don’t want to keep these? I asked, giving her a second chance on a box of photographs.
My heart, she’d said. I can turn it off.
For years, I believed her.

weighing my options
In the last two weeks I feel like I’ve had to make the most grown-up decision I’ve made so far in my semi-adult life… over and over and over again. It felt like a break up… only it happened 5 times over the course of two weeks.
I’ve been lucky enough (and worked hard enough to be subsequently lucky enough) to have been offered two amazing job opportunities. [I also...

it’s one thing to read a post from your favorite blogger about her upcoming trip to ny. it’s another to imagine your 50+ year old VP schmoozing with a 20-something year old fashiontoast.

This post is twofold. First, I think it’s difficult to say that a 22yr old has had the opportunity to experience what I have today. Second, music has an inexplicably beautiful way of moving humans.

sometimes i’m sad that i don’t have more ownership of the things i do. sad because i’m not challenged to some intellectual...
