Most of life is beige. Not offensively beige. Not tragic. Just bland. Neutral. The emotional equivalent of unseasoned chicken and overhead lighting. We like to pretend life is made up of big moments such as the highlights, the milestones, the Instagrammable stuff. But the truth is, most of […]
I recently stumbled across a quote I had scribbled down at some point in my life, buried in a note, between grocery lists and half-baked blog titles: “A narrow mind and a fat head invariably come on the same person.”— Zig Ziglar Wait, what? I blinked. Then blinked […]
It’s a totally random Tuesday, and I started with a grand plan for tacos. But life had other ideas. Instead, I stumbled upon an offbeat restaurant I’d never been to (and probably won’t return to), where I watched an epic Spain vs. France Eurocup match. The game was […]
