personally poor, that is (my family’s money is another story). i think most people realize that kids have more fun. maybe it’s because we can use “i’m still a kid” as an excuse for everything. maybe it’s because the world is still so new & we have endless options. maybe it’s because we have little responsibility. or maybe (just maybe)…

i am. not afraid
ok, shoot, i am a little afraid. but i’m not about to let it rule my life. yesterday i had a surfing accident. the fin on my board took a giant chunk out of my thigh and i had to get nine stitches (i didn’t cry though, not to flex… officially big girl status), but i was terrified. i thought…

i am. ghosted
oh ya. story time. so i was into this guy, right? we see each other every day & i’m thinking this is great. i kinda think he’s cool and he says he feels the same way about me. i’m forward af (character flaw?) & hate to waste my time, so i asked him if he could possibly see it going…

i am. not doing her justice
14 years ago, i met the love of my life playing shuffle board at a bar (bff love, that is). this girl is my other half (the fun half). she’s impulsive. she doesn’t think twice before doing most things. she spends all of her money before she gets it. she is ditsy. & she dropped out of college. but… she…

i am. still friends
someone reached out to me over dm asking for some relationship advice. she recently broke up with her boyfriend and felt as if she lost a best friend along with it. i think that anyone who has ever been in a long-term relationship can relate to this. i know i sure can. for some reason, i’ve been lucky enough to…

i am. suggesting
some of you asked me about date ideas. & let me tell you…not all dates are created equal. if it’s one of your first dates, the best idea is to start with something super simple, yet memorable! the main goal is to talk face to face after all. dream dates:1.exploring a small town-this is one of my coworkers ideal dates…

i am. conflicted
i swear, it seems like i never have plans. but, when i do, they all seem to fall on the same gosh dang day. like, on the fourth, i had to choose between staying home for my brother’s family birthday party (thanksgiving in july!), or going to kalamazoo with my friends. i sat and contemplated what to do with my…

i am. proud to be an american
where at least i know i’m free… i read somewhere, recently, that young people are less patriotic than older americans. i started to think about how true this is. when i see the flag, instead of the symbol of freedom, i see something more negative. unfortunately, my america has shown me school shootings, institutionalized racism, restriction of women’s rights. i…

i am. concerned
“boys want sex.” “ALL boys want sex.” “ALL that boys want IS sex.” no wonder it makes me feel as if boys only want sex. but honestly, thats not what i want to believe. i have brothers, cousins, friends, that are guys. i dont want to think that sex is the only thought present in their brains. so guys, please,…
