Is anything sacred anymore? Lately, it feels like Hollywood has made a very specific, very intentional editorial choice: to kill off its main characters. That’s righ! The ones we’ve rooted for, grown with, sometimes hated briefly but always come back to. Gone. Wiped out. Poisoned, ambushed, ghosted by […]
Sometimes the big dog dreams he’s running. His paws twitch. His tail flicks. Sometimes he lets out a soft little “boof” — the sound of chasing something glorious through dog dreamland. Is it a squirrel? A cloud? A giant meatball rolling down the sidewalk? Who knows. But he […]
Some folks hear the word “boundary” and act like you just slapped their emotional support latte out of their hand. “Why are you being mean?” they ask, as if choosing not to carry their chaos is somehow a federal offense. But let me say it louder for the […]
There are moments when the shadows of the past feel heavier than the steps I’m trying to take forward. Moments when the echoes of those who doubted, dismissed, or even hoped for my downfall whisper a little too loudly in my mind. But here’s the truth I know […]

One moment it’s 8:00 a.m. and you’re mapping out your grand plans, whispering motivational quotes to yourself like you’re about to scale Everest in heels. And then—poof!—it’s 5:43 p.m., you’re unsure of what actually got done, and […]
People love to say, “The universe has a plan.” Okay. But has anyone checked if the universe filed the right paperwork? Because sometimes it feels like my request for cosmic justice got stuck in interstellar HR. No call back. No follow-up email. Nada. But here’s the thing: the […]

There’s a Turkish proverb that has been tumbling around my brain like mismatched socks in the dryer: “When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a king. The palace becomes a circus.” Now, I don’t know for certain if it’s Turkish, but frankly, I don’t care. […]
