covid chronicles pt. 2
I think I could write a whole entire book called "The COVID Chronicles." I know this was the title to one of my recent posts, but this year has been filled with stories that could fit this title, and I think it's important that stories be told. I was a 5th year college student during… Continue reading covid chronicles pt. 2
a memory
As I was sitting on my porch doing nothing for 45 minutes, which I talk about in my last post, "nostalgia", I recalled a special memory. It goes like this: Most of the windows in the house are open. It's late afternoon in midsummer on Winterberry Circle, just about suppertime. It's that time of the… Continue reading a memory
nostalgia
Nostalgia has always been so intriguing to me. It's by far one of my favorite words. I think this is because it describes that which cannot be described. As Dwight Schrute once said, "Nostalgia is truly one of the great human weaknesses, second only to the neck." It is defined as "the state of being… Continue reading nostalgia
rain
I left the gym after practice today and headed to my car and it was raining. I knew it was supposed to rain for the entire day. For a Midwestern day in early March, that kind of a forecast is almost too good to be true. That means it has to be above 32 degrees… Continue reading rain
a shaken identity
I think the biggest story I have to tell is my story with basketball. This is a story that might take the rest of my life to share. I believe it is the deepest woven part of me. I cannot take that lightly. Let me give you a little background. My parents were both NCAA… Continue reading a shaken identity
poetry
When it comes to writing, poetry might be my niche. It's probably too early to tell though. All I know is that there is something about the short, abrupt, deep lines, that can reach you (well, me) more than narratives can sometimes. That's what draws me to poetry - well one of them anyways. I… Continue reading poetry
things that make me happy
I realized today that I tend to write about heavy things. I think I do this because writing is a way for me to work through some of my deepest emotions. But I think it's important for me to practice writing happy things too. A big part of being a writer is noticing details. So,… Continue reading things that make me happy
my writing journey
Writing is an interesting thing. It is healing, yet painful. It is exhilarating, yet mundane. It is easy, yet so very hard. It is fickle, yet specific. I realized I had a knack for writing as a sophomore in high school. You see, this was a dark time in my life. I was recently heartbroken… Continue reading my writing journey
covid chronicles
I feel like Michael Scott in the Dinner Party episode: "When I said that I wanted to have kids, and you said, you wanted me to have a vasectomy, what did I do? And then when you said that you might want to have kids and I wasn't so sure, Who had the vasectomy reversed?… Continue reading covid chronicles
