I gave my leftover pizza to a woman on the street who was hungry. Should I have paused, taken a selfie and then posted said selfie? Should I have taken a picture with her? It would seem to me that a picture in such a moment is tacky […]
For the past five weeks, I have been visiting countless medical provider offices. I am tired of going to one provider to the next in the hopes of figuring out why I have what I have. I have been noted to be a mystery by many, while […]
Every week or two I get asked by someone if I am liking my experience thus far in Los Angeles. I’ve been here now almost 9 months. I could have given birth in this amount of time. Nine months is a big psychological marker. Yet, I usually […]
