There’s a meme floating around that hit me right in the frontal lobe. You know the one. “The grass is greener on the other side because it’s fake.” Boom. Truth bomb in font size 16. Let’s talk about that seductive little patch of green across the metaphorical fence. […]
The world is weird. That’s not breaking news. But every now and then, the headlines remind us just how gloriously absurd the human and animal condition can be. This past week has been a masterclass in eyebrow-raising moments, each with a surprisingly teachable core. If only Freud were […]
This past week, I’ve been stumbling across dimes like they’re trying to unionize on the sidewalk. One here, one there; shiny, unexpected, a little too consistent to ignore. And while my inner scientist whispers “coincidence,” my inner New Yorker with a flair for drama wonders: is this a […]
The other day I came across a meme. One of those bold beach signs with even bolder advice:“Don’t even think about looking backwards. You’re not going that way.” Okay, motivational sign. I see you. I get it. Forward motion. Eyes on the prize. Focus, future, yadda yadda. But […]

You ever wake up on a Monday and just know in the pit of your stomach, the ache in your knees, the existential sigh before your first cup of coffee—that the week ahead is going to be long? Like…crawling-through-wet-cement long? That was me this week. Before I even […]
Ah, Monday. That day of the week that creeps in like a clogged toilet you hoped would magically fix itself overnight. Every week, without fail, Monday rears its grimy head and reminds you: The pipes are jammed. Again.Not just the ones in the kitchen sink but the ones […]
