Autumn is the cusp of darknesswhen the days grow shorterand the trees begin letting go. But it isn’t winter yet. Perhaps grief is like that. I have lost so many.Some far too young.Some who should still besending ridiculous emails,making me laugh,walking through the worldas if they had all […]
There’s a very specific phrase that should come with a psychological warning label. “Can we meet? It’ll only take a few seconds.” A few seconds. I would like to meet the alternate universe where this is true. I imagine it’s a magical place where meetings start on time, […]
Apparently, there’s a “five-year stranger” theory floating around the social media. There’s the idea that most of the people in your life right now will be strangers in five years. Cheery, right? At first glance, it feels a little dramatic. A little doomsday for your contact list. But […]
There comes a moment in adulthood, usually halfway through eating leftovers you don’t remember cooking, when you realize time is moving faster than Amazon Prime shipping. Whole weeks slip by like receipts you swear were “just on the counter.” Blink twice and it’s Monday again. Blink three times […]

Ah, Monday. The great illusionist. The David Blaine of the calendar. One moment it’s 8:00 a.m. and you’re mapping out your grand plans, whispering motivational quotes to yourself like you’re about to scale Everest in heels. And then—poof!—it’s 5:43 p.m., you’re unsure of what actually got done, and […]
Ah, time. That pesky little construct we think we have nailed down. We carry around our watches, mark our calendars, and keep ourselves beholden to schedules, all the while believing time is this rigid, immovable force. But it’s not, is it? It’s like trying to hold sand in […]
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! You ever feel like Thanksgiving just sneaks up on you? One minute, you’re trying to catch the last bits of summer, and the next thing you know, you’re knee-deep in a grocery store aisle full of pumpkin everything and wondering how you’re supposed to roast […]
