Every once in a while, an event occurs that changes your life in its entirety. Sometimes you know exactly how momentous the situation is. Sometimes it sneaks up on you. In this case, it was pretty obvious how huge, titanic, even, the course of my life would be altered, but not from the beginning. I […]

Another Throwback Post

Not sure why I didn’t post this on April 14, when I wrote it. I finished it and everything? Maybe I was scared to be so raw. I don’t feel that way now. Also, reading back on this I’m so glad to have lost my job. Just feels a little bit easier to not have […]
How do you know?

This is a post I wrote on November 12, 2019. I think I said too much at the time, and was afraid of sharing these thoughts. Still kind of am, but here it is! Today I woke up happy. It didn’t go away for a while. There was peace and calm in my brain for […]
It is Too Much

What does it mean when you’re unbelievably happy and yet entirely miserable at the same time? How is this possible? My body is giving out on me. I can’t stop getting sick. I can’t get enough sleep or make it through the day without being exhausted. My ankle hurts. Like way more than a couple […]
A Snowflake in Alberta

I’ve managed to isolate myself, thus far in life, in a pretty beautiful, leftist, open-minded, loving community. Growing up in theatre, going to a liberal university, working for an organization that was very clear on its stance for equality. Living in Vancouver, it was pretty tricky to find someone whose ideologies didn’t match up with […]
Thank u, next

I didn’t do a Year in Review type post last year because I was a mess. 2017 was probably the worst year of my life, and I didn’t have much by way of expectations for 2018. It wasn’t the best year, in fact, it kind of kicked my ass. I’m tired, but unlike last year […]
A love story.

When I’m in a rough place in my life, I tend to cry, way too hard for the given circumstances, when I say goodbye to my friends. I could be seeing the person the next day, and I would still cry. I remember a year ago, I was leaving my friend’s birthday party, and when […]

Hannah VS Modern Dating Volume II: Ghosting

A few months ago, I was wracked with a horrible feeling: was I a bad person? On a couple of occasions, if I found myself disinterested in a dating situation, I would just kind of… stop talking to the person. It’s not to say I would ignore them, but I wouldn’t necessarily go out of […]
The woman that I am

People don’t change. Especially lately, I’ve been particularly convinced of this as a fact. Fundamentally, I think, we end up the same as we started. The cool part, though, are all the twists, turns, heartaches, triumphs that help us to grow into more defined versions of ourselves. I’ve been thinking about this a lot. To […]
You can only be as okay as you actually are.

I spent a lot of time chastising myself for feeling the wrong way. “This is ridiculous, you’re overreacting.” “You said, it was okay, so you really have no reason to be upset.” “You’re not getting anything done feeling this way, grow up and act like a fucking adult.” The voices in my head are not […]
