I went for a hike this weekend, with the goal in mind to find the highest peak that I could get to, to get the best picture of the valley, to make people jealous of the gorgeous setting I was in, and just to challenge myself to do something new. But along the way, this … More Feels Like Home
“Words are, in my not so humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.” – Albus Dumbledore Have you ever been in an argument, desperate to prove your point? Angry about something someone did, only to watch them face no consequences? Wanted to defend yourself, but knew … More Voice is power, silence is wisdom.
We’ve come to live in a world where people (myself included) typically write/post/tweet about the good moments. The pictures in exotic places; the outfit that makes us look phenomenal; the story of our brush with stardom or notoriety. But that has not been my life as of late. And one of the things I’ve always … More Never Be The Same
You know the moment. You are casually walking through the cemetery on vacation and you think to yourself, “all these people are dead, and I don’t even know what I’m doing with my life. Can I be dead?” No? Haven’t been there? If you say so. Recently while on a Sunday afternoon walk, I … More Purpose
At least 1,825 flights of stairs to my apartment, 12 unlimited subway passes, 10 new pairs of shoes, approximately 26 hours spent waiting in various lines for something trendy, and 1 new drivers license that remains unused.

For me, it’s … More Double or Nothing
Imagine you are standing in a crowded subway car. And that every couple of minutes, that subway car stops, some people get off, and some people get on. But you continue to stand, gripping a pole a hair tighter than necessary, because you just never know when the subway driver is going to play a game … More Peasantville
If you are looking for my usual hilarity and comic relief… you may have come to the wrong place today. I mean, I can’t help my natural charisma and there will likely be some funny and snicker-worthy notes, but this is honesty. This is the true story, of me, picked to live in NYC, work … More There’s Always Room for One More
The good with the bad. The ups with the downs. The ins with the outs. The slightest inconvenience has now become my daily “absolute nightmare”. It’s a world of first world problems, where I miss the 8:02 and have to wait FOUR MINUTES for the 8:06. The struggle is real. I find myself being irritated … More An Inconvenient Truth
So I went on a first date the other night. But it was unlike any other, because it was with a girl. Slow your roll people, New York hasn’t changed me THAT much. Some of you may know about a little dating app called Bumble. For those of you who don’t, I’ll explain. You log … More Bzzzz.
