    The Night the Man Fell

    Not unlike most of my travels, I arrived to Burning Man without a good grasp of knowledge about the Man or exactly what the Temple meant. I had plenty of supplies thanks to my gracious hosts and a supply of boy short underwear from Victoria’s Secret. However, when I visited the Temple my first night [...]

    Ugly Truth

    Right before I left for Italy, I spent a few hours with someone who happens to be a male. As a way to slowly introduce my ridiculous life to this man, I told him the story about my sister. What I did not consider before revealing this information was this person is a trained questioner. [...]

    29

    Monday is my 29th birthday. This is a bit of a big deal if only because I don’t feel like I expected to feel at 29. With the exception of body maturity, I still feel like I’m playing an adult most of the time. Seriously, body maturity is what they should have warned us about [...]

    The Post Where Ambiguity Reigns Supreme

    Perched on a classroom table, I told a new friend the story. The fun, the laughter, and what I shared with him and how he crushed me. The part about how I am terrified of the someone new (or is he enough to be someone new?). I’m not sure it matters. The next day, the [...]

    Before

    You’ve been here before. The storm. The flakes drift to the ground. One by one. Piling. You know the sounds. The silent hush. School children’s excitement. Inch by inch. Counting. You know the feel. Crisp, clean, covered. Your boots crunch as they clear a path. Flattened. Your foot slips. The first snow storm. A mind [...]

    The No Word

    I learned something this week: I have trouble saying no. When someone I admire and respect asks me to complete a task, I say yes. Of course. Will do. Even though my insides are screaming that I am on major overload and really don’t have the focus for extra projects right now. I just don’t. [...]
