Girls Just Want To Have Fun: A Bachelorette Adventure
I was a little surprised with myself when I hit ‘Purchase’. I’m not the type who just buys flights on a whim. I usually purchase my flights months in advance, it’s way cheaper! Yet here I was, a week out, buying a flight home to Kentucky. The thing about last-minute flights is they lead to the greatest adventures. This adventure was personal. I was returning home to celebrate the finale of my best friend’s Bachelorette-hood. My best friend and I date back Before Puberty (B.P.). Felicia is the girl I sat on the back of the school bus with mapping out our entire lives. She’s the person who stood beside…

Finding Your People: Making Friends in New York City
There’s one thing that I couldn’t pack-up and bring with me New York City. No matter how hard I tried to fit them in my suitcase, it just wouldn’t work. It’s hard to leave behind your favorite thing. Especially when that favorite thing has seen you through your darkest days, been your source of ab-aching laughter, and was a staple of your everyday life for as far back as you can remember. Of course, I’m referring to my friends. No matter how hard I tried, they couldn’t come with me. So, I ventured off to New York without them and I quickly realized making friends as an adult was much…
A Trip Into The Infinite Abyss: On Letting Go
The moon was full and still hanging over the city when I disappeared into the night. I felt the lights, the noise, and the skyscrapers moving further away from me; or perhaps, I was leaving them. I’d listened to the same song on repeat nearly 10 times, which is a pretty proud feat for 4 AM. For the first time, in a very long time, it felt like I was leaving nothing. I had nothing left to run from. I was just leaving, disappearing into the night. And I desperately needed to go. I love the city, it’s my home, it owns my heart, but sometimes you need to vanish…
Twenty-Seven Things Only Life Can Teach You
I spent the past few weeks considering how I wanted to address this year’s birthday post. I take pride in reflecting on where I’ve been, where I am, and where I want to be. I re-read last year’s birthday post and I remembered exactly where I was and how I felt when I wrote it. If you’d told me this time last year, all of the places I would go, all of the people I would meet, and all of the momentous moments that would happen, I would’ve never believed you. I considered writing about all of the special moments and occurrences in my 27th year, but the posts in this blog…
