Today is the 3rd day of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. It’s also the one year anniversary of when I first walked through the doors of a place now all too familiar. Little did I know I would spend 4 months walking through those doors and feeling every emotion under the sun. But what I remember most is the fear.

To the man selling newspapers
I’m sorry. I’m sorry that instead of meeting your gaze, my eyes stay fixed ahead at nothing. Just the road. Or sometimes my phone since it seems to always be in my grasp. Anything to not look your way. I’m sorry this interaction, or lack of, is normal for you. I’m sorry being ignored is […]
When life feels wobbly
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve even thought about sitting down to write. Time moves too quickly, nursing school seems to never let up, and in moments of rest I tend to instinctually grab the remote to watch the most recent episode of This Is Us or a re-run of Parks and Rec for […]
Wednesdays
My dearest loyal followers, if you were wondering if I had dropped off the face of the earth, worry no longer. I am, in fact, alive. I knew you were concerned. So how’s life lately, you ask? (Even if you didn’t, I’m gonna tell you anyways.) Well folks, I started nursing school a month ago […]

Growing up, the TV in my playroom required what seemed like 10 different steps to correctly turn it on. There were 3 remotes (like what is the point of that?) […]
A lesson on humility
I’ve recently started to really enjoy yoga. It’s a little big hit to my pride admitting I love something that I swore “wasn’t for me” for so long, but I’ll get over it. Earlier this week, I signed up for an 8:30 am class at a studio I’d been to several times and patted myself on […]
So I have this thing with lists
If you couldn’t tell by the title, I really like lists. Actually, it’s really making lists that I enjoy. I have a tendency to add things I’ve already done to my calendar just so I can check them off. There’s something about organizing and writing things down that gives me life. Now actually doing the […]
