before I’m 30
This is my before I hit 30 to do list. I used the daruma stamp from Baum-kuchen which is an awesome analogue stationary shop in Los Angeles. I would love to go there some day. With the stamp, you color in one eye then write down your goal or intention. Then once you accomplish it,…

mini book reviews & trying to move on
I recently had to close a brief, beloved chapter/dream. I was a bookseller. I loved it. Those five months were the happiest, most fulfilling I ever experienced. I am sad to see it end, but I’m sure I’ll find another job to love. I miss the staff but I can always visit. Anyway, I accumulated…

you’re still a good person
Periodically, I want to write letters to myself here. Letters that I hope will push me forward and allow me to be more gentle with myself. I’ll be honest with you, I’m having a tough time right now. But I recognize that this will pass and I will go on to better circumstances. Here’s missive…

add more love to the world
Everyday I do more things I like versus ones I love. I like scrolling through Facebook and clicking reactions. But I only love it when a friend is sharing an accomplishment. Besides those moments, running down my newsfeed doesn’t really add value to my life. And if you asked me what I saw today, I…

And this is the original run when I performed the monologue for In Full Color 2017 in February. It just occurred to me that I should share my monologue on this…

you’re doing fine; keep going
Outgoing. That’s a new adjective to adjust to. I’m doing outgoing activities like open mics, performing monologues, and this upcoming zine fest called the Betty Zine Fest in Newark, October 7th, 2017 from 11am-4pm. I’ll be tabling and selling there, my first time doing so at a zine fest! I’m really excited but nervous. Though…

on an upswing
2:49 am, September 18th, 2017 I went to Dunkin’ Donuts to cheer myself up. I love going there to write and read but honestly, I barely did either. I pretty much just sat and stared at the window, deep in my feelings and thoughts. The maple pecan large iced latte didn’t do much to lift…

reveries made real
I had a flood of bad news a few weeks ago (lost a writing contest, lost a dream job, lost a guy to his now girlfriend) BUTTTT I had an outpouring of great news recently that totally annihilated my sour mood. There will be other writing contests to go for, dream jobs have been opening…
