Happy Teachers Day, Mom?

As I sat down to write this I thought to myself, "Ugh! What a cliche!". But bear with me. I don't thank my mom for everything - I dressed like a frump for most of my years (no thanks to my first stylist) and it's taken me looong enough to find my own sense of …

Perhaps it is better to have stepped on some toes than to have stepped on none at all.

When you are learning, when you are but a larva who does not deserve a big head (figuratively speaking, I have nothing against my fellow large-headed peeps), why worry about the consequences of stepping on someone's toes?

The stain never faded.

'It's just a stain. It can be removed. Stains can be cleaned...' It wasn't a crush. It was so much more than that. But that was obvious since she'd invited him over countless times and it was always when she was alone. She had never really opened up to anyone this way and not because …

Today, I am 24.

It's not my birthday. I did something today. Something adult. Something responsible. And I feel like I can take on the world. I feel like throwing myself a celebratory party.

OMG! They’re FWB!

Inspired by not-so-recent events at my brother's school. My lazy self has been putting this off for a while. It would seem fate has a wicked sense of humor. The one situation my mother did not want to be left in was, alone at home with my brother, while my father worked in another country …

The Blame Game

The truth shall set you free they said. In my quest to compete with an expressive, rambling, lunatic over who posts more regularly, I realized that I would never progress if I constantly wonder what people will want to read about.
