Time is a funny thing. On one hand, it feels like I’ve been ‘moved out’ forever. It’s very normal, even though it’s only been two weeks. While my time has been up and down (down being knocking my bottle of olive oil on the floor and spending twenty minutes trying to make the floor not-slippery) … Continue reading A Dive into Independence

I wonder what my day would have looked like had I still been living at home. The tea would taste the same, probably. My stress over the start of this trimester at uni would be the same, probably. The knowledge that I have friends scattered in different directions is the same, most definitely. I’ve moved, … Continue reading the other side of myself

I find it bizarre to think about what you’re doing now, then think back to one year ago or five. Would that person have been able to do what you’re doing today?

2018 and 2019 were filled with feeling bad about not going to church but also feeling bad about being there. Up until mid-way through this year, I wasn’t attending church frequently. Last year I did go somewhere somewhat regularly, but it didn’t feel right so I stopped going. I was caught between wanting to go … Continue reading On Attending Church when it’s Difficult

It’s hard to believe it’s nearly Christmas. On one hand this year has felt like the longest year in the world, but in other ways it’s flown by. And then I remember that every year feels this way, that every year is built of lingering hours and rushing days. I don’t know if this will … Continue reading growing into my winter coat
