Sometimes I’m Not

Thumbnail image for Sometimes I’m Not

Sometimes I get scared to want something, because I worry I don’t have the persistence and dedication necessary to finish it. Sometimes I care way too much if a guy gets in touch. Sometimes I care way too little when he finally does. Sometimes I get mad at myself for not knowing if I want marriage or kids or to settle down eventually. Sometimes I feel like I’m missing some sort of feminine gene. Sometimes I wonder if I’m even ...

Last week, I rearranged my bedroom into a sequence of furniture I hadn’t combined before. And I wondered, “how had I not seen this layout before?” And, it made me think even further about how isn’t this how life is? How, all of a sudden, you see combinations or paths or solutions that you never even could imagine before. You realize that sometimes you need to buy the house. And you need to start with the empty living room and ...

Things have changed. Okay, well, specifically, I have changed. A lot. Like, whiplash amounts. And I’m still trying to catch up, still trying to reposition myself into understanding who I am now versus who I was a few months ago. Because, change is a funny, nuanced thing. It’s never at all what you expect it to be. And the consequences and outcomes of your changes are never what you could have predicted. Especially when you’ve changed for the better. In ...

Sometimes I get in these moods, ones where I feel like I’ve completely fallen behind on everything life has told me to catch up on. It’s usually during the aftermath of something wonderful. Maybe after two months straight of weekends that I’ll later describe as “the best times of my life.” Times when hangovers are worth every minute of uninhibited laughter. Times when money has been fleeting, despite not making enough to cover it. Times when I don’t care about ...

My Life Online After Death & Other Really Morbid Things

Thumbnail image for My Life Online After Death & Other Really Morbid Things

Life in the digital age can be quite strange at times. Like when life becomes death and someone’s Facebook profile becomes a very awkward and haunting shrine to the life they once had. I had a friend who passed away a couple years ago and his MySpace turned into a sort of weird vigil area where people would write to him, like he’s, ya know, checking his MySpace up in Heaven. With his WiFi. And his MacBook. Of course. Totally. ...
