Step One: Create a Plan

July 20, 2018July 21, 2018Leave a comment

I vividly remember being in the shower about a year and a half ago. That's not weird, okay? Just calm down and keep reading. We all know the best time for thinking is in the shower.

I don’t want to brag, but I have a lot of skills. I can go to Target and only buy what I initially entered said store to buy. I can scrape ice off a car windshield with only a ballpoint pen and a rewards card at my disposal. (Possible but not recommended.)

An Open Response to Every Vaguely Encouraging Blog Post I’ve Recently Read

I’m a big fan of feelings. I prefer the good ones, of course, but I can appreciate the value of a vast array. I want to feel them and talk about them and write about them and read about them and dance wildly because of them. I want to feel them so intensely that they … Continue reading An Open Response to Every Vaguely Encouraging Blog Post I’ve Recently Read
