• Happiness is

  October 8, 2013

   It’s the end-goal of everything we do. It’s why we pray, get married, go to college, slave through tiresome days at the office, endure heartache, buy into fads, and move through (the sometimes unbearable) woes of everyday life…  and more importantly, it’s why w...

• I Want To See You

  September 24, 2013

   I want to see you fall asleep each night. I want to see you the nights you feel like staying awake and splitting a cheap bottle of wine with me, theorizing life and love, questioning the pursuit of happiness, and whether or not happiness truly exists at all. I want to see you the nights&hel...

  September 7, 2013

  People fall through the cracks of our lives and fade into the background like the fuzzy grey screen at the end of the VHS when you fell asleep watching a movie as a kid. It rocks us to sleep, in a way, and lulls us into a sense of complacency. We just get used to…

  August 17, 2013

   I know I may only be in my twenties, and still quite early in them, but I have discovered the secret to life so pay attention. The secret to life is this: There is no secret to life. Gotcha! Except, I’m not kidding. There is no secret to life and if there is, it’s probably…

• When stripped bare, we ask ourselves

  August 11, 2013

   My friend and I were discussing love, and how we all try so hard to make ourselves lovable. We learn things, we acquire things, we develop socially acceptable behaviors and try to break our bad habits, all in the name of making ourselves more “attractive” in some sense, more des...
