I love surprises. Big surprises, small surprises, I’m not picky. I love the adrenaline-hype build-up and the oxytocin rush that follows. The most startling surprises to take in, I think, are the types when we discover new characteristics about ourselves.

I’m long overdue a post! My last writings came from a harder place of life, and first I want to give you an update as to how I’m doing. Through a winding process of medical detective work (which we’re still on!) I discovered that I have a vitamin deficiency. At least for now, that’s the…

I felt sick to my stomach. Almost like I got punched right in the gut. It’s the feeling you get when you know something really bad is about to happen. My blog was down. Alright, alright. I understand this predicament isn’t actually the end of the world. And it’s probably not even relatable to most…

A portion of my 2015 goals read “pursue a few opportunities that will allow me to compensate my time online.” I have been pursuing such opportunities. And it’s been totally stressing me out.
