I’ve got two (TWO!) prose poems for you tonight on the topic of time. I’ve been obsessed with Why Time Seems to Fly lately, which is an interactive visualization of how time passes in our lives. It’s strange, unsettling, and uplifting all at once. Now onto the poetry. I read a lot of David Shumate in college. If… Continue reading poetry dose | four

favorites for summer skin
Back in the winter, I talked about my favorites for winter skin. I’ve had some semblance of a routine chugging along, but nothing great. My skin was driving me crazy with the heat, so I basically stopped wearing make-up for a stretch. Theeeen I caved and ordered the Glossier Summer Edition Phase 1 Set. Loving… Continue reading favorites for summer skin

Sorry for the quiet week here. Things have been a bit crazy between my current refocusing on good habits, trying to be a good friend, and also… Let’s talk about some links. 1.

Two of my good friends (1 & 2) shared around a lovely graduation speech by Donald Antrim — you can read it here in The New Yorker. I love both of those women and also this piece. Just, come on — I hope that you will be faced with difficult choices and decisions, trials that… Continue reading poetry dose | three
grasping for ghosts
Last July was a time in my life when I woke up early on the weekend, ready to hop out of bed and do chores and accomplish things. Have a clean apartment and be exciting. I had lots of activities and visitors and visits to make. I’m not so interested in that this July. Over… Continue reading grasping for ghosts

At Verily: Six Habits Every Twentysomething Should Practice
Hey, you! My post today is just pointing you in another direction — I have a piece up at Verily: …A part of me believed that if I didn’t figure out my trajectory during my third decade of life, I would already be behind. Worse, I’d be running out of time. As a recent college graduate… Continue reading At Verily: Six Habits Every Twentysomething Should Practice

I struggled to choose lines to pull from this Rilke poem. The voice of God, calling us into life, sending us into the world with all that entails. I spent the weekend at the Hearts on Fire retreat that the Apostleship of Prayer and Jesuits have for young adults. It was really lovely. Appropriately the… Continue reading poetry dose | two
worthwhile clicks vol. 3
The theme of this edition of Worthwhile Clicks is… hard reads. Again. Sorry. These are all excellent, challenging pieces. 1. Srebrenica Revisited. “A soldier bound Mr. Avdic’s wrists and ordered him to take off his shoes and shirt. He had no shoes, so he took off his socks instead.” 2. ‘He’s Jesus Christ.’ “The chief explained… Continue reading worthwhile clicks vol. 3

Oh man, when I was scrolling through ye olde tumblre, I was actually surprised when I realized I have been watching Game of Thrones and Downton Abbey for a pretty large number of years. Not to even SPEAK of Mad Men, which I started watching long enough ago that I took a college class focused on… Continue reading tbt tumblr vol 5: the DRAMA (mostly mad men)
