Life is… Complicated. Always. There is good, there is bad, and there’s a whole lot of in between. And I think, for right now, that’s okay. Because I don’t think it’ll ever change and if these past few years have taught me anything, it’s that.

Miss Me?
I started this blog three years ago and since then, last week was the single time I have ever not written a post on Friday. The only time. Ever. There's a reason for that.

Robert Frost and an Original– Two Poems
As I head back to SLO today, I'm thinking that sometimes transparency can be a good thing.

Intro to September: Here’s something you need to know
Here's a little honesty for you: I miss writing. Not because I don't do it anymore, clearly, but because I haven't been doing it for me.
