& 31

Dear Self, When you open this in the year 2020 you’ll probably smile amused by 2015 problems. You have a thing for stressing out about small things and hopefully you’ll grow out of that by 30. It’s weird because you also see the bright things in most situations. I may come off as chill but…

& The Greater Good 

Apparently there’s a lot of confusion in Kimmel’s video helping Chelsea Clinton promote Americans to serve a year in AmeriCorps. Service is something I feel passionate about so I commented on the video informing folks that national service isn’t just the army and of course someone responded that serving in AmeriCorps isn’t doing anything “good…

& Friendships

They say the older you get the more you grow a part from people. The optimist in me didn’t want to believe it though. I hold on firmly to the philosophy that you’re only as young as you think you are. Some of my friends (who are a few months younger than me) do not…

& Halloween Happened

I landed in Pittsburgh on October 30th not the 31st. This was done intentionally. After spending the 30th stressing like a crazy person, trying to make sure my TV would be shipped in a timely and cost effective manner, and making sure I had everything settled with my security deposit, I was ready to go…

Yesterday’s Poem

& Unwritten

I thought about calling but I knew your wouldn’t answer. I keep you in prayers before I fall asleep. I still think about you dream about you as if we still speak. It weird because even when I don’t like you I love you. I’ll never be able to give my everything to someone the…

& I Write More than I Sleep

Lately I’ve been up in the air more than I’ve been on the ground and it’s kind of sorta peaceful. It’s not like an office job either because when I go home I’m not worried about what I have to do tomorrow for work or an unfinished to do list. It’s a new experience every…
