“Furious” is easy Anger comes on strong Like bricks, a dime a dozen Building up a wall Silence is easy My thoughts aren’t all too loud Drown them out in music Whose lyrics make sense now Distractions are easy They pollute my atmosphere But shield me from the burning sun I am safer under here…

I’m driving to work this morning—early for once. Substantially early. Like early enough to stop for McDonald’s breakfast and totally negate my 9pm workout I did last night. Early enough to not be almost-rear-ending every car in front of me on US-23. Early enough to try to snap some cute “OMW to work” selfies…

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy…

My mentor sent me this video, yesterday. I immediately plugged my earphones in, at my desk, and watched it, in its entirety, on my phone. There are two reasons why I took such urgent action. My mentor doesn’t send me random videos, ever. I knew she sent this to me for a specific purpose and…

There’s a common misconception that body positivity and body-issues are ideas that are reserved only for plus-sized-women or mothers with tiger-stripes (stretch marks) or double-mastectomy patients.. Or, even, that they are exclusively reserved for women. This irks me. A lot. Especially when I’m eating a baconator at work and everyone in the office starts asking…

So, I’m doin my workday routine. I pop open LinkedIn and make sure all 469 of my connections don’t forget about me. I’m congratulating people on their anniversaries and promotions. I’m liking new headshots. Doin that day-to-day-stay-relevant-thang. I’m scrollin… and I come across this quote… “Change must be actively pursued, not merely tolerated. If you…

Turns out, Kelsea’s “Get Your Head Out of Your Own Ass” is a three-step program. Who knew? I didn’t think long and hard about Step Three. I thought short and soft about it. Step Three is, by far, the hardest step. It’s called “Give it to God and Go to Sleep.” I moved over the…

I’m interrupting this riveting series on Getting Your Head Out of Your Own Ass to document this day. FriYay, June 26th, One Week after JuneTeenth (Coincidence, Supreme Court?), The Supreme Court of The United States of America decided (finally) that Gay Marriages are legal and should be recognized in all 50, glorious states. As someone…

“In friendship…we think we have chosen our peers. In reality a few years’ difference in the dates of our births, a few more miles between certain houses, the choice of one university instead of another…the accident of a topic being raised or not raised at a first meeting–any of these chances might have kept us…

There is an art to getting one’s head out of one’s own ass. It comes on gradually, like a cold, and, for me, after about 22 years of fucking up. You start realizing that you are not the special, wonder child that you parents have spent your whole life convincing you that you are. No…

For some reason—the mark of success for a lot of people is the ability to leave—to make it on your own in a different and new place. Maybe it’s the rural, corn-field-cladded, bicentennial-farm-painted reputation that Ohio carries in some people’s mind. Maybe it’s just the fact that we’ve just been here and seen this and…
