Thoughts – ANAGRAM

on commitments

I would say I am a pretty committed person. I try to move through the world with follow through. If I say I am going to do something, its 90% likely I will. Alas, I am not perfect and do have my falters. I would say I am best at this in a professional/career/school environment.Continue reading “on commitments”

love actually is all around <3

Half of the year is done and wow its been a busy one. I moved into a new apartment, had so many lovely visitors, and have been a visitor in quite a few places myself. Despite all of the busyness and chaos though, love has prevailed. I think looking for it is the thing toContinue reading “love actually is all around <3”

Happy Birthday banANNA!!!!!!!!

Happy birthday to one of my best friends 🙂 I truly can’t believe it’s only been 3 years since the start of our friendship because it feels like we have been sisters our whole life. I am so honored to share ANY similarities with one of the best people I know. Thank you for beingContinue reading “Happy Birthday banANNA!!!!!!!!”

sunrises and sunsets

When I was really struggling in high school to find joie de vivre or “joy for life,” my therapist suggested I try to see a sunrise or sunset each day. I was sick with mono at the time and would wake up at 4 AM each day to make sure I got all of myContinue reading “sunrises and sunsets”

non-stop

I biked through Philly with my two best friends last weekend (who are much better bikers than me). We coasted down a hill under the Ben Franklin Bridge and were zipping by the water. Before that though, we were in Philly traffic. We stayed in the bike lane but then all of a sudden itContinue reading “non-stop”

gratitude and signs

I don’t know when I started doing the sign of the cross. Well I do know when I started, being raised Catholic, but over the past few years this act to me has taken on a different meaning, especially as someone who no longer attends weekly mass and prefers an Episcopal service. Whenever I seeContinue reading “gratitude and signs”

on places

I’ve been thinking a lot about how where we are impacts us. It makes sense considering I am in the midst of moving, but I have also always held a belief that everyone is comprised in little parts and pieces of all the places they have ever been and all of the people they haveContinue reading “on places”

Happy 18th Birthday Sister!!

Hi Koko, Happy birthday my girl!!! I am so proud of what you have accomplished up until this point and I’m even more excited for all you have to come. I know 18 can feel like an ending. The end of childhood. The end of living at home. It’s only the beginning though. It mayContinue reading “Happy 18th Birthday Sister!!”

to my favorite future lawyer…

Sabbie, I am so proud to be your friend. Watching your passion for social justice grow (as the world devolves further each day) gives me hope because I know people like you will make the world a better place. Thank you for being the best friend and book club buddy ever. I remember writing oneContinue reading “to my favorite future lawyer…”

I feel most beautiful when…

I am messy, uninhibited. When my cheeks are flushed with sweat or saltwater is tangled in my hair. Yet, I am messy often but do not feel beautiful often. My room is a mess, my thoughts are a mess, usually I am overall a disaster throwing on whatever will pass as presentable for that day.Continue reading “I feel most beautiful when…”
