Death Defines You

There are only two things in life that are certain, death and taxes. I’ve tried defining other certainties, aside from bodily functions, and this seems to be fairly accurate. Between all the baby announcements, weddings and birthdays, a few untimely and sudden deaths have sneaked their way into my life. After the dust settled and everyone […]

10 Things You May Have Missed While Watching Wonder Woman

Spoilers to follow… By now, movie goers have been slammed with reviews and opinions of DC’s cinematic adaptation of Wonder Woman.

I’m Here for The Groom (A Poem)

I’m here for the man who helped me with my thermodynamic’s homework, For the dude that told my ex to back off when I left him for my now husband, For the Starcraft nerd that let me create a Space Marine fleet when the guys in the room doubted my “strategery”. I’m here for the dude […]

Turning 30 is Tricky 

Lets face it, by the time you turn the big 3-0 people expect you to have your house decorated like a Pottery Barn catalogue instead of showcasing proudly all of your Voltron action figures and memorabilia. Over my dead nerdy body! It is as if by decree you must become a functioning adult who has […]

My Fondest Childhood Memory, You

The day we met the sun shone brightly, The swingset chains hot the touch. Yet you ventured to push the pigtailed girl until her spirit took flight, Turning her into your biggest ally. I fell hard for your beautiful disarming smile, One I’d see you flash many times hence throughout all your academic and athletic […]

Responsibility v. Love

You are not responsible for the ones you love, except if they are children under a certain age or a pet. It may be a controversial thought but the subject is worth discussing. Many of my Millenial peers go through life feeling responsible for friends and family, carrying huge chips on their shoulders that shouldn’t […]

A Week of Soul Searching: How to Empirically Determine How Much Time You Spend on Others

When I am feeling overwhelmed by tasks and activities lists start making appearances in our household. Between what to do and what not to do, there’s a sprinkle of the I don’t want to do and have to do items too. I reached out to a clinical psychologist, who is also a friend, and made […]
