Soundtrack of a Funeral
On a morbid note, I have found the song I want at my funeral. Some people hear songs and want them for their weddings and other special occasions, but I am really enjoying thinking about the songs played at my funeral. What songs will sum up my life and remind people of me? I’m clearlyContinue reading “Soundtrack of a Funeral”

Elizabeth Gilbert eased me out of my mid-twenties crisis.
Her book Eat, Pray, Love, which you may have read because you like the Oprah book club or refused to read because you hate anything Oprah endorses (which is where most of my friends fall), helped me become comfortable with myself.

The beginning….yet again.
I’ve decided to start a new blog despite all the previous failed ones. One night, I was feeling frustrated and began writing. Sooner than I could check my Facebook, I had 1,200 words and lots of relief. So I decided that I had something to say and it needed to be let out, so hereContinue reading “The beginning….yet again.”
