I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
There is something strangely philosophical about waking up at 6 a.m.on a long weekend, brewing coffee that tastes faintly of regret, and deciding, Yes, today is the day I watch a Matt Damon–Ben Affleck movie before sunrise. This is not self-care.This is survival.This is what adulthood has reduced […]
There comes a point every January when society collectively asks: “So… you still have your tree up?” It’s the same tone people use when asking if you’re still binge-watching a show from 2014 or still eating leftover holiday cookies. A blend of curiosity, judgement, and a dash of […]
January has always felt like a strange month. It’s long, gray, and stretched thin like an old rubber band about to snap. People talk about “new beginnings,” resolutions, fresh starts. But for some of us, January is not a clean slate. It’s a ledger of losses. I’ve lost […]
It’s a brand-new year, which means two things: 1. I’m still writing “2025” on every form, and2. I’m staring at my bank statements like a detective in a true-crime documentary, trying to figure out who subscribed me to all these services. Spoiler alert: it was me. Past Me. […]
You know it’s going to be one of those years when even the wildlife seems to have a group chat where they coordinate their plans to move into your property. I swear the animals have discovered Zillow, and I’m 90% sure they’ve been passing around my address with […]
There comes a moment in adulthood, usually halfway through eating leftovers you don’t remember cooking, when you realize time is moving faster than Amazon Prime shipping. Whole weeks slip by like receipts you swear were “just on the counter.” Blink twice and it’s Monday again. Blink three times […]
I never thought I’d reach a point in my adult life where I would have to hover over the remote like a paranoid teenager trying to switch the channel before their parents walk in. Except in my case, I’m not hiding anything scandalous. I’m hiding commercials from my […]
Apparently, The Devil Wears Prada sequel is slated for 2026, and I, for one, am delighted, not because I need another movie (I really don’t), but because it officially resurrects one of the most perfectly dismissive lines in cinematic history. “Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.” I have been chuckling […]
There are moments, usually late at night, when the urge is not for meditation or deep breathing, but for a primal scream. The kind that rattles walls. Followed closely by aggressively loud potato chips. Crunchy. Salty. Possibly eaten straight from the bag like an emotional support activity. Actually, […]
Every now and then the universe throws us a little curveball just to remind us it’s still the reigning champion in “plot twists.” This week’s cosmic surprise? Astronomers may have discovered a previously unknown type of astronomical object that has been nicknamed Cloud-9 which might finally help us […]
