I love you, I feed you
For me, feeding people is an act of love. It's a way to show I care. If I have ever cooked for you, or cooked with you, this is for you.

Today is my mom’s birthday. 80 trips around the sun. She doesn’t feel like celebrating, and I understand.

The past week has been an emotional roller coaster. Lots of highs, lots of lows. I’m having to learn how to just roll with things that don’t make sense. The rules have all changed.

It turns out, I am pretty good at being a dick to myself. I try really hard to be kind to other people, but apparently it’s open season on my own self. Read on if you want to hear my self-flagellation over a hike I am planning. I know it sounds ridiculous — because it is.
My relationship with my body and with food is super fucked-up. I don’t like to eat in front of other people, for fear they will realize how gross and disgusting and unlovable I am.

I went out chasing the aurora borealis last night! The short story is that I didn’t see it. But that kind of wasn’t the point.
As a fresh-faced 22-year-old, newly out on my own, I was terrified of becoming boring. How would I manage to keep my funny, sparkly, creative qualities in the face of adulthood and its responsibilities?

I feel fantastic — high, almost — when I am actively writing, editing, and revising my own work. Is how people feel when they “find religion”?

A friend asked me how I feel about my tattoo now that I have had it for a couple of months. I said immediately that it makes me feel more like myself. But what does that mean?

I think I need to start saying “yes” to things that I might normally say no to. It might help me get unstuck.
