The Four Agreements When we entered this world, we learned sounds and symbols, which represented letters and words, which allow us to communicate. This is an agreement we have made as humans. We agree on language, morals, religions, teachings, etc. We agree to a set of rules and laws of civilization. We are awarded and […]
I love Halloween. I love costumes and dress-up. I love getting to be a little weirder than usual. I love scary movies and TV shows. I love pumpkin carving, fall colors, big, warm sweaters with a book and some coffee or tea. I love bike rides in the cool air and I love when the […]
A couple weeks ago, I went to a friend’s house for coffee. She lives in an adorable older home she and her husband are fixing up. To my entertainment, they are streaming it on Instagram sporadically.

Today I read a piece Joan Didion wrote about migraines. She wrote about their medical validity and how they actually cause people to have different personalities. She wrote about how she wishes for home lobotomy calls and how she gave herself icebaths in bed. I laughed. I laughed, remembering the tubes of towels filled with […]
There was this life I lived. It was a life. It could be called living. When I look back now it all seems sort of gray and colorless, like I was colorblind and everything was sort of muted back then, foggy. I was living for all these things outside of myself. What I should do […]
