I've been reading. But I've also been moving and applying for jobs and working and riding my bike and fixing my car. So I haven't been writing. So these are the books I read in April and May. Image from Amazon.com The Perfect Child is a book to read if you want to read something …

So I Moved Across the Country
Again. Everything has been crazy and stressful and exciting and fun. There are so many things up in the air and we're just waiting to see what sticks the landing. I've been home a little over a week. I missed home. A lot more than I thought I did. It's good to be back. Bobby …

Saying Goodbye
Bobby and I turned in our keys yesterday. We are finally moved out of our first little house that we shared. We no longer have to deal with crazy neighbors that hiss at our dog or throw possible poisoned bread in the backyard. But we also can no longer walk to the movie theater or …
It’s Cool To Be an Alcoholic

Do What You Like

Balance the things that need to be done, like homework, and the things you want to do, like watch Netflix or read a suspense novel. I feel out of balance sometimes. My kitchen is cluttered because someone was working …

My Mother Would Have Loved Marie Kondo
Growing up, my house was never tidy. Sometimes it was clean, but it was never tidy. And it was never kept that way. We had things stacked up in lots of random places, because my mom found it hard to let go. But every once in a while she would get frustrated at her family …

130
Not many people are aware of how much I struggle with my weight. Inside my head I have been overweight since I was fifteen. I don't think this is actually true though. Before I started high school, before I hit puberty, I was barely a size zero. I fully believed I would be able to …
