Happy Half-Birthday to Me

Today seemed like the perfect day for starting all the things that I have been avoiding for the past few months.  After a day of cleaning, organizing, and planning, I hope to start a new routine for myself starting tomorrow.

The Tyrant Sleeps

I have a job that reminds me why I decided not to have children until I am older. Taking care of a one-year-old at my age is insane; I do not know how some people do it. You cannot really fault the child for being a tyrant because she doesn’t know any better. All she [...]

Another Journey

I have been having a crisis of (Internet) identity lately. At some point in the last year, I stopped writing for myself–to get my thoughts out–and started writing for the approval of others. Maybe this is why my brain seems to be jumbled. I haven’t allocated enough time to think things through and over-analyze (as [...]
