Welcome! I am an aspiring optimist and writer surviving in the wilds of the American Midwest. Join me on my personal journey while I attempt to figure it all out. No, that's a high bar... While I attempt to figure at least one thing out.

A year ago I thought cancer was the worst thing that could happen to me. Turns out, using it as an excuse to give up is even worse. I’m still here, still trying, still figuring it out… and yeah, some days ‘trying my best’ just means breathing and making it to tomorrow. But I’m not done yet. 💪

Trying to sleep, but my brain said ‘let’s unpack your entire existence instead.’ New blog up: a night in the life of an insomniac.

Is fat a bad word? Asking for a friend. (The friend is me.) A raw look at weight, self-worth, cancer, divorce, and the fight to find myself again. Not looking for a size 8 anymore, just some grace, self-kindness, and maybe the energy to get off the couch without sound effects.

New blog up now. It's about TV, but also about the current political climate. Because I couldn't help myself.

Pardon the delay, but your girl was busy spiraling. This week’s blog features a new couch, an old fear of commitment (to jobs and gym scales), and the world’s messiest internal monologue. Shoutout to the two of you still reading - you’re helping me live my 7th grade dream of being a writer with anxiety and cats. 💻🛋️🐈‍⬛

WIAT: Sentimental. My girl turns 20 on Tuesday and I have no idea how that happened. 😭 I’ll cry more this week in blog form. ❤️🎂🥳🎈✍️
