oops I wrote this and then realized my domain expired so I couldn’t post. Belated Blue Monday thoughts: Today is Blue Monday. It’s supposed to be the saddest day of the year. The funny thing is, I’m not feeling all that sad. A little lonely, as I usually do when I work from home, but […]

Going in with a bang
I got a little bit teary reading my New Year post from last year. It’s bittersweet to see how much things can change over the course of a year. But it’s also extremely cool. You know what’s even cooler? Closing out the decade! I know the world probably has enough of these in them, but […]
Monday Thoughts
I don’t know if its because I haven’t spent enough time with people who see my soul. Or if I’m not exercising enough. Or because the only way I can get work done is by listening to the same ten songs and I now think they’re the soundtrack to my life. Or if it’s because […]
Autumn Thoughts
I wrote this post in October 2017. I don’t know why I never posted it, but I thought I’d share it now. I’m trying to get the words out for how I feel right now, but they aren’t coming as easily as they used to. Also, I deeply miss autumn in Vancouver. Much different from […]
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 […]

So no one told you life was gonna be this way 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I don’t really know anyone who would say they are happy. It’s not exactly small talk-appropriate conversation to make: asking existential questions about people’s happiness, but it feels like something you can read into based on real, regular conversations. It’s just a general sense of unease, the feeling that they expected more from life than […]
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 […]
Please Like Me
Someone honked at me in traffic because I didn’t slow down so that they could enter my lane. They didn’t need to be in my lane. Their lane was not closed, there were no police pulled over or trees in the way. They wanted to be, and they expected me to be accommodating. That’s not […]
Enter title here
Okay, so here’s the thing. How do I get my mojo back? I used to love writing but now it’s almost more exhausting than homework. Where did the little spark go? I used to worry that the stuff that I wrote about had an expiration date. I like to think I am pretty funny when […]
The Dark Hole
I’m lying on the floor of the yoga studio. The endorphins pulse through me and I feel a sweet sense of calm that I haven’t felt in weeks. I glance up toward the window and see a patch of bright blue sky, completely unadulterated by clouds. “See?” I tell myself, “This is what happens when […]
