Halloween is almost here. ‘Tis the season where adults get to be children again, sugar is a food group, and black lipstick becomes a perfectly acceptable daytime choice. This year, I have not one, but two Halloween outfits. Because why limit myself to one alter ego when I […]
Let’s talk about something no one put on their vision board in January: curated nostalgia. It’s not just a vibe. It’s a survival mechanism. And it might just be the most underrated form of self-care we’ve got. You see, I’ve been time-traveling lately—not via DeLorean, but through carefully […]
Something strange happened yesterday. Or rather, something didn’t happen. April 1st came and went without a single prank. Not one. No fake lottery wins. No switched-out sugar and salt. No “I’m moving to Mars” announcements. Not even a harmless “Guess what? I’m quitting my job to become a […]
“We shall see the crumbs of bread, and they will show us our way home again.” I read that quote at the beginning of an episode of Grimm recently, and for some reason, it hit me with a wave of nostalgia. For what? I’m not entirely sure. There’s […]
It happened. The unthinkable. The moment I didn’t know I was dreading. My beloved rice cooker—the one that’s been with me for ten solid years, the unsung hero of so many meals—gave up on me this weekend. Out of nowhere. No warning. Just…done. I didn’t see it coming. […]

Write about your first computer. It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and while the game is entertaining, what I really look forward to are the commercials. Though, I must admit, the excitement isn’t what it used to be. Remember that Apple commercial—the one that became a seismic cultural moment? I […]
What could you do differently? There’s a song that has been on repeat in my mind lately—“Wish I Knew You” by The Revivalists. The melody wraps around me like a warm blanket on a cold January day, but it’s the lyrics that hit me in that sweet spot […]
This morning, as I watched the leaves fall in my backyard, I was hit with a familiar feeling—the quiet passing of time. It’s funny how the changing of the seasons always brings that reminder, as if nature is nudging us to pause and take stock. Just this week, […]
It’s funny how a simple scroll through Facebook can take you down a rabbit hole, tugging at your heartstrings and bringing back bittersweet memories. Today, I stumbled upon an old friend’s page—she’s been gone for five years, but her profile is still there, quietly holding on to fragments […]
