last night i lit a candle, queued an indie pop playlist, and read through old cards that have been sent to me & my old journal entries. i thought id share one. i live a very blessed life. not because of the safe neighborhood i grew up in. or the supportive mother i was given. not the newest technology that…

i am. not happy
i got rejected from my dream job today. so naturally, after crying in the shower, i called my best friend, zoie. i told her that i feel inferior. i go to this prestigious university, but that also means that all of the students are mad genius. i was one of the smartest kids in my high school (not a flex,…

i am. justified
my roommate (who clearly has been a massive inspo for my posts lately) came home upset one night. she had this incident with her boyfriend the night before, and asked me for advice. i won’t go into details and expose her mans, but there was one thing in our conversation that struck me. she said “i feel like me being…

i am. flexing
have you ever been around someone that feels the need to constantly be flexing every thing they do? like, just the other day, my roommate was at this hella rich kids house (daddies money, yanno how it is), & all he could talk about was who he knew. i mean, apparently the kid had some pretty popular rapper perform at…

i am. afraid of judgement
i sit at a coffee shop, surrounded by strangers &, for some reason, i feel at home. very much myself. i sit in a room full of people i’ve met a couple of times. there is drinking involved, yet i still feel uncomfortable. why is this? i may be the only person who feels this way, but i am much…

i am. reflecting
this semester, i’ve been thinking a lot about social media. possibly because i’m taking three classes on it – but, nevertheless, i have. i thought about the amount of time i spend posting, who i am online versus who i am in real life & so much more. i was asked to create a role for my social media self…

i am. crossing my fingers

i am. my own person
i met up with one of my friends the other day for coffee. he recently moved to santa monica after living and going to school in ann arbor his entire life. although he did the typical dorm & apartment thing, he always stayed close to his family, visiting them probably around once a week. to me, this sounded like the…

i am. okay with this
i’m reading a book right now called “the top five regrets of the dying,” &, at one point, she writes about growing up being judged. something i’m pretty sure every person has experienced. i know i have. (that’s the whole reason i started this page). anyway, she pointed out that everyone who was judging her, was likely unhappy with themselves…
