i have my first back in the saddle okcupid date tonight … my expectations are low because that’s how one should be about these things.

This was … 20+ years ago? And the same thing happened today. I’m not everyone’s cup of tea and moving to Chicago has been a...

you never know
you never know if your words will make someone feel just … not alone. sharing is caring. sharing struggles with others, sharing your dirty sordid details … your pain with others can help you and them. reading hyperbole and a half’s post today on depression made me realize how much i wasn’t sharing with people in my world who are not professionals and what i should share...

non-update on a boring life
I mean, I’m supremely boring of late. Job is super busy and hectic and Taylor is chill and whatever and nice and easy. It’s not a dramatic insane relationship and job ups and downs or moving cities or whatever, it’s just the normal life? Which means I’m spending time focusing on shoes and uninteresting shit instead of focusing on big stuff? Sure.
Um, so I had the flu this...
