Why I Write
Ah yes, the question of all questions – Why do I write? Why do I bother? Why do I keep sitting my butt down, again and again, to hit my laptop’s worn off keys, curse a lot and pull my own hair out? Why do I do NaNoWriMo – a writing challenge where you try …
8 Reason to Love Weetzie Bat by Francesca Lia Block – Book Review
“Under the pink Harlequin sunglasses strawberry dangling charms, and sugar-frosted eyeshadow she was really almost beautiful.”
I Want To Believe
I saw a play a few weeks ago that was very interesting but not very good. One thing that caught me off guard in how it affected me, though, was a single line. The protagonist was talking to a priest who said, “It almost sounds like you don’t believe in God.” And the protagonist said, …
Resurfacing
I (we) never meant to abandon this blog, and I never felt like that’s what had happened. To me, last year was a blur of sunny days and train rides and coffee and new faces and goodbyes, and to be honest, this January felt three times as long as the whole of 2017. That’s why …

As I settle into this new life living without my family, I value it more and more when our flat doesn’t have to …
March Is for New Beginnings
I don’t know exactly why I stopped reading for pleasure, or when. But in 2016, I don’t think I’ve read more than 5 books, which is strange since a) there isn't much I enjoy doing more than reading, and b) I’ve had a gap between my graduation and the start of my year as volunteer …
Thoughts About My Future aka Why Is Everything So Hard
I’ll turn 19 soon, so my future has been a constant topic in the back of my mind for close to 2 years now. I’ve come to a point where when today somebody asked me what I like to do in my free time I said I didn’t know. When he asked me what kind …
