Well well well, look at me failing again. It’s been an up-and-down past several weeks, and now that we’re nearing the end of the year, the hustle-bustle between work and life is ramping up and keeping me from having the energy from posting on here but I refuse to be defeated! “If you follow me…

A Lazy Post: Feeling Worn Down and Beat Up
So I’ve clearly failed in trying to get at least one post on here every month but September was such a whirlwind month that here we are already in early October. Maybe I’ll do five posts in October! That’s ambitious. It’s a bit sad that I titled this post the way I did because a…
Speaking Up vs. Shutting Up
I am so infuriated that this will probably be the fastest post I ever throw up here. As I type, there are white supremacists marching with torches in Charlottesville, Virginia. They are chanting “blood and soil,” “F*** you f*****s,” and God knows what else. Thankfully, there are counter protestors there, and those of us opposed…
Second Daughter Syndrome
This is not an official dissertation, there is no medical evidence behind this, no studies done, just purely what I’ve noticed in my life as a second daughter (or to reach a broader audience, a Same-Sex-Second-Sibling. Mouthful. I’m not about to say SSSS for short. Maybe.). I am two years younger than my older sister,…
My First-Ever Yoga Class
I’ve been avoiding this for years. I like the clothes because they’re super comfortable, but I never allowed myself to entertain the idea of attending a class to practice yoga. I thought, there’s too many poses and I don’t see how this sheds any pounds, etc. And forgive me for saying so, but I was…
I Hate How You Drive
If you follow me on Twitter you’ll know that I often post a series of tweets venting about my morning commute to work, or evening commute going home. For a while, it was documenting my experiences on BART, where I had the luxury of sharing whatever it was I was experiencing in the moment: how…
Lame Adult
Soooooooo, since I birthed this blog last summer, I obviously haven’t kept up with it as much as I thought I would, and wanted. In the past couple of months I’ve had various ideas for posts run through my mind, failing to write them down, and then of course never got to them. It got…
Does Presidents’ Day Have to Apply to All of Them?
Exactly one month ago today, a new guy was sworn into office. It’s been one month and I still can’t bring myself to call him by his official title. And the one-month mark falls on Presidents’ Day, no less. My feeling towards this new administration hasn’t changed much in a month’s time. When I last…
Happy…New…Year? (A “Strictly Opinion” Post)
I don’t even know where to begin. I’m trying to think back at 2016 and quite honestly I barely remember the last few months of it. Doesn’t it seem like the holidays were so long ago? 2017 is not even a full month old, yet instead of feeling hopeful like I did on January 1,…
2016, You’ve Been Unreal
It’s 8am on Saturday, December 31, 2016. It’s my favorite time of the day, favorite day of the week, and as I draw back the curtains from my windows to look out at the quietness of the morning, I think of how cliche it’ll be to write a “year in review” post. But, I’d rather…
