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.
Well, what a week! You’d think that amidst the political circus, the only wacky stories out there would involve a podium and a scandal, but lo and behold, we’ve got some non-political oddities, too. One story that caught my attention? Well, let’s just say it involves a funeral, […]
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. I’ve been ghosting people long before the word was a thing. Back then, we didn’t call it “ghosting,” it was more like a silent exit—less spooky, more socially acceptable (or so I told myself). But there’s an […]
What’s your favorite word? There’s a moment in *Gilmore Girls* that never fails to surprise me: Jess, the brooding rebel, gets attacked by a swan. A swan. Of all the things. It’s the kind of scene that makes you pause mid-laugh because, honestly, who ever imagines a swan […]
I’ve had some odd moments in life, but few compare to that time I mistook a bird for my missing phone. Yes, you read that right. You see, I have a knack for misplacing things. Keys? Sure. Glasses? Regularly. But my phone? That’s a treasure map worth guarding—or […]
Describe your ideal week. An ideal week, you say? Does such a mythical beast exist? Because honestly, if we’re talking about perfection, I might as well be vacationing in Tahiti, with my toes buried in the sand and a drink in hand. But alas, reality beckons. In the […]
If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be? You know that feeling when you’ve been using a word for so long that it practically becomes a part of your personality? For me, that word is “cacophony.” Just the sound of […]
Here I go again with my late night rants. Soft one, though. It’s 1:45 AM, and my house has come alive in the most unexpected ways. The TV is softly blaring “The Perfect Couple” – though I’m sure the “perfect” part is debatable, given the drama unfolding on-screen. […]
Are you holding a grudge? About? I’ll admit it—I’ve held a grudge or two in my life. I’m human. And let’s be honest, holding a grudge can feel oddly satisfying at first. It’s like wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket of righteous anger, protecting yourself from the cold […]
Five years ago, I penned a post about the underestimated power of the banana peel—yes, that comedic trope of yore that has sent many a cartoon character flying. Back then, I mused on how life has a way of tossing these metaphorical peels into our path, forcing us […]
How are you feeling right now? This past summer felt like an elaborate dance between sun and fog—one day bathed in golden light, the next shrouded in a hazy grey. It’s as if Mother Nature herself couldn’t decide what mood she was in. And I get it. This […]
