The other day I had a small, suspicious thought. What if some of us are a little bit addicted to sadness? Not the catastrophic kind.Not the kind that requires medical intervention and casseroles. I mean the specific, curated sadness many of us seem to carry around like a […]
January has always felt like a strange month. It’s long, gray, and stretched thin like an old rubber band about to snap. People talk about “new beginnings,” resolutions, fresh starts. But for some of us, January is not a clean slate. It’s a ledger of losses. I’ve lost […]
There are some songs that feel less like music and more like an excavation — digging through layers of past hurt, survival, grit, and finally, fragile hope. Kesha’s “Praying” is one of those songs for me. It’s not just a melody; it’s a full body memory, a tremor […]
