I have always been told not to go into my sister’s bedroom.  Under any circumstance.  So of course, I snuck into her room as much as I could.  She was only three years older than me so I was obsessed with her clothes, but knew I couldn’t wear them since I wasn’t supposed to be in her room…

Growing up, I never really had a song that I could relate to my life.  My dad never listened to anything but NPR and sports radio so music was hardly played at our house.  My friends always talk about ‘Oh this song was playing when I was buying my prom dress!’ or ‘This song reminds me of that…

“That’s the thing about this city.  It never sleeps and neither do you.  I am constantly finding new things to do and places to go.”    As Frank talked, I stared out the window at the farm he currently lived on and wondered what he was talking about.  How could he find so many different things to go…

I knew exactly how to reconnect with my life.  The first thing I needed to do was to sit outside and soak up the sun.  Living in a small apartment with my mom sometimes made this hard.  She was naturally not an outdoors person.  At all.  She went from the apartment to the car to…

I was overwhelmed and scared as hell.  I didn’t really know what I was doing and I wasn’t really sure how I got here.  I wanted to get out of my old life because I was getting too comfortable, but now that I was about to start my new life, I was a little unsure.  I was starting my…

I learned about spirituality from my mother when I was still in elementary school.  I latched onto the spirituality and I think it was partially because no one else was into it.  I have always thought religion was an interesting subject and was willing to debate with almost anyone, but I also hated the ‘rules’ that sometimes went along with…
