A more accurate title for this post might be “Packing (The 25th Installment).” I have packed my bags 24 times in the last five months. I don’t know if that number sounds big or small to you, but to me it has felt like a lot. Tomorrow I start packing for one of the last… Continue reading Packing (The Second Installment)
It’s Getting Real Here, Folks
It’s been a pretty long road. Twenty months ago I made the decision to head out to a new place for this brand new adventure. I’ve waded through paperwork, made phone calls, traveled by bus, plane and car, and finally… I’m almost to the starting line! I’ve been asked a lot in the last year… Continue reading It’s Getting Real Here, Folks
To the Individual Who is Curious About My Current Daily Life
Guess what? I haven’t left the country yet! Contrary to how I had planned my summer, my metaphorical plane has been grounded due to unforeseen circumstances (meanwhile my literal plane remains unknown because I haven’t actually bought any tickets yet). People ask me, at least on a daily basis, “When are you leaving?” I do… Continue reading To the Individual Who is Curious About My Current Daily Life
Today Is Not An Adventure
This is one of those feelings blogs where I went too long without journaling and now you all have to deal with them. Today I rode on a Greyhound bus. Last night I watched “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” and it was wonderful: the romantic life on the road, full of transcendent moments looking… Continue reading Today Is Not An Adventure
The Sky
I went out to the store tonight for some yoghurt (BECAUSE I LOVE YOGHURT!) and the sky was beautiful. As I pulled into the parking lot I rued the fact that the only camera I had with me was my phone, but no matter what I would not have been able to capture the immense… Continue reading The Sky
The Pros and Cons of Edible Emotions
Remember that recipe post I promised you? It’s still on it’s way. Completing it will just take more time than I’ve wanted to put in this week. In the meantime… I thought I would share my two cents about coping with transition. I am well aware (painfully so) that I do not have all the… Continue reading The Pros and Cons of Edible Emotions
Chocolavocado: White Chocolate Avocado Raspberry Truffles
What? It’s a food post! Yes, this happens here. As I said in a recent blogpost, I have been traveling a lot recently. When I am not traveling, I have been staying with family, which has left a lot of time for culinary explorations. To protect the innocent I have decided to collectively refer to… Continue reading Chocolavocado: White Chocolate Avocado Raspberry Truffles
How I Came to Love my Hands (and other small mysteries)
Today, I like my hands. They have never been my favorite feature. My fingers always seemed too short and stubby. I liked my wrists: they were just the write amount of bony, looking tough and elegant. I always favored how my whole arm looked with my fist clenched. Then today I was putting on a… Continue reading How I Came to Love my Hands (and other small mysteries)
Where I Live
I have always struggled to answer the question: “Where are you from?” These days, I have found a new doozie. When people ask what I do, I tell them I moved out of my apartment a few weeks ago. “Where to?” They inquire. “Oh, I moved to being homeless,” I like to quip. I do… Continue reading Where I Live
A Couple Trips Down!
Just a quick catch-up post. I am still State-side but have accomplished my first flight and road-trip of the Spring/Summer. More coming next week! This next one will actually be my first solo road-trip, and though it will only be a few hours I’m a little bit nervous… On an inspirational note: when I went… Continue reading A Couple Trips Down!
