I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately, which is dangerous because nostalgia has a way of making absolutely ordinary things from childhood seem magical. Today I saw a kid who looked about seven or eight years old carrying a shiny new iPad, and it sent me straight back to elementary […]
I have developed a slightly unhinged relationship with my Gmail inbox. What started as a casual “let me clean this up” spiraled into a full archaeological dig of my life. I didn’t just delete emails. I went backwards in time. August 2026 to April 2022. Thousands upon thousands […]
So imagine my surprise and borderline suspicion when an old blog post of mine about exit interviews and the general futility of “constructive feedback” suddenly starts trending like it just dropped yesterday with a Beyoncé album. Exit interviews.Of all things. Not love. Not purpose. Not “how to find […]
Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time? I used to be a jump-rope person. Not casually. Not “oh look, there’s a rope.” I was a bring-a-jump-rope-on-a-cross-country-road-trip person. There are photos of me at rest stops somewhere in the middle of America, […]
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. […]
What is your favorite drink? As a kid, there were few things I loved more than Ovaltine. Yep, that malty, chocolatey goodness was my jam. I’d sip it like it was the elixir of the gods, convinced that it was fueling my brainpower and possibly even making me […]
