I’ve been thinking about a chop for a while, and god I love bangs. I had bangs once several years ago but never had the nerve to wear them curly. Now that I’m older, wiser, and have embraced my curls (it’s a lifelong journey ya’ll), I’ve decided to make the classic Tara Borman move: say…

Take a Chill Pill
I’ve been medicated since the early 2000s. I have never been ashamed of it, but the progression of “oh this is a weird quirky thing about me” to “I’m taking this, what are you taking” and knowing you’ll get an answer is…great! The mental health stigma has lessened so much over the last 22 years…
YOLO
It’s the Sunday night before my last week of work and I have not processed my feelings yet. The main thing I feel is scared. Scared out of my mind. Scared shitless. I have moments of panic where my heart races and I get tunnel vision and everything feels, well, scary. An overarching feeling I…

O, Starbucks, How I Love Thee
How does one describe love? Venti Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew. That’s how. I wonder sometimes if the baristas behind the bar at the Highland Park Starbucks know how much they mean to me. This $4.81 treat is sometimes the one thing I get out of bed for on a Monday morning. I am specific…
Manifestation or just a daydream?
I am STRESSED THIS WEEK so read at your own risk. I spend forty hours a week sitting and looking at a screen at a corporate office. I solve other people’s problems. I draft memos. I answer the phone. It’s a blessing to have this solid, continuous work because I make money, and in our…
Twilight and Harry Potter got me through 2020
And Midsommar, and Below Deck, and Gossip Girl, and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and… I swear I’ve seen everything there is to see. As a Taurus-y Taurus, I do love a good “lounge”. A good “potato sesh”. I have carved out a nice, deep, cozy spot on my couch that fits my booty…
