2024 was quite the year…so glad to be queer
2024 was one hell of a year …is one of the things my therapist and I recounted together in one of my last sessions -given all of the significant shifts both in my life personally and the world as a whole that this year has held. I’ve had some of my most trying moments in…
Here’s to 33: Let the music play
Sometimes I think we view writer’s block as being something easily defined. Not realizing it can mean many different things all at once. Part of me believes the way my life has changed so significantly in the past year is a form of writer’s block. I was trying to process each obstacle and didn’t have…
Pride is Community: Grief, Love, & Radical Acceptance
2022 has been one hell of a year. Full stop. June is right around the corner, which means Pride and also means we are only halfway through this damn year. One thing that keeps resurfacing for me during this time, on top of everything else, is grief. Four months ago I lost someone I never…
10 Songs to Help You Get By
Structure has felt unobtainable with all of the change suddenly sweeping me off of my feet. More on that later though…. Music is my happy place, my center. It helps that I appreciate a wide variety of genres across a multitude of decades. Makes it easier to find a song for any and all feelings. Which…
If it’s raining, I’d rather be in Seattle
April showers supposedly bring May flowers, but if I have to deal with this much rain – just transport me to Seattle, okay? It was raining all last week in DC and it reminded me how much I’d rather be living in Seattle (it’s important to note I have firmly felt this way since I…
Time Doesn’t Stop, But I Wish it Would
I haven’t felt motivated lately or even the slightest bit cheeky. Not that that is a requirement to post, but I prefer the words I share to have a genuine sentiment to them. TW (trigger warning): death/grief A few weeks back I received news that a very important person from another chapter in my life…
New Year, Same Queer: Cheers to 2022
As I was wrestling with the fact that my days of listening to my Happy Holigays playlist are now over since Christmas is a few days passed, I wondered why aren’t there more songs related to New Year’s Eve? Sure there’s the classic Auld Lang Syne … or if you’re a little more hip you…
Well Wishes and Better Days: See ya later 2021
At the end of every year I pick out a journal to go into the New Year with. It doesn’t matter if there are still pages left to use from the one I am currently writing in (although I used to hold myself accountable to filling in every single page before the year was over…
Happy Holigays to All!
I know people say Halloween is the gayest holiday of the year, but seriously…what is gayer than Christmas? + Mariah Carey is the Queen of the season+ There’s lights EVERYWHERE and GARLAND (not Judy…but I, myself, am a friend of Dorothy)+ The movies are overly dramatic and campy with a sense of wonder+ Aren’t we…
The Introspection of Motivation
I saw a quote today after a work meeting that said “A goal without a plan is just a wish” (attributed to one of my favorite books, The Little Prince written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry). That line reminded me of how important it is to stick to my writing and even though life has gotten…
