Your eyes consistently take my breath away. Several years in their sight and I still stumble in their presence. I never before thought much of hazel, besides a nice addition to the flavor of my coffee. But now hazel is my favorite and each day I long to see it. I love how hazel changes, … Continue reading Your eyes

Some great things about living alone: I can eat whatever I want for dinner, event if that's just popcorn and olives. My medicine cabinet is arranged just how I like--filled entirely of face creams and lip balm and no actual medicine in sight. I never have to worry about someone coming behind me and putting … Continue reading 26

The steep incline has her breathing heavily, the back of her legs ache under the strain. She pushes forward, staring at the tops of her feet as she manuevers over the rocks. Every now and then she glances up at the path ahead, to see how much further she has to go. Everytime she does, … Continue reading 27

Today has been a shitty day. I spent most of this Tuesday staring at a computer screen desperately trying to appear busy at work, because I had absolutely nothing to do. Eventually, the slowest, most boring day draws to a close and I start packing my things up excitedly. Most people love that feeling of … Continue reading 35
Stickers of Mine
Okay, one of my favorite things is bumper stickers. I have three Nalgenes (shut-up, I'm from Colorado so we gotta stay hydrated 7,000 ft above sea-level) and each are decked out in stickers. So much so, I actually have themed Nalgenes. One is strictly travel related, most of which I got while studying abroad in … Continue reading Stickers of Mine

We Think You Don’t Have Enough Shit
December 1st marks the beginning of the end. An end composed of Christmas wreathes, obligatory family visits, wintery liquors, and lots of lights. It's funny to me, as a kid it felt like Christmas took forever to get here. As an adult, as soon as I hear Mariah Carrey's "All I want for Christmas" or … Continue reading We Think You Don’t Have Enough Shit
Parking Lots
Ain't it funny, that I was more frightened of the man who said "Hello" in the parking lot at 9pm, than of the haunted house I visited only an hour beforehand? Filled with ghouls, zombies, and gore I laughed and felt safer, than when I speed-walked from my car into the grocery. When I fumble … Continue reading Parking Lots
Romantic Opinion
I’m going to say a bad word. Dating. Yes, that infamous, dreaded, gnarly word—dating. Any socio-health professional will tell you it’s good to date and meet new people. Developing romantic relationships, being vulnerable, establishing what you like and don’t like, is critical. Especially for young adults. That doesn’t mean it isn’t terrible. Spending time at … Continue reading Romantic Opinion
Heart Beat Faster
**Content Warning: This piece contains mild sexual themes. Read at your own discretion.** He spun me onto his lap, hands grasping my hips. How wonderful, I silently marvel, to be with men, who make you feel tiny with their naturally wide hands, broad frames, and long bodies. Perched against him like this, long hair cascading … Continue reading Heart Beat Faster
