I wrote this earlier this year. My sister made the artwork for it.

the mud
The mud was sad. It was a gloppy, sloppy thing that just squelched around. People mostly avoided the mud. That means that the mud was alone and this was why the mud was sad. No one really cared about the mud because no one wanted to get their shoes dirty. The mud felt like if …
Journaling like Eustace Scrubb
I was gifted a little black notebook and pen, both embossed with my initials, for Christmas by my two best friends. As much as I appreciated the gesture, I didn’t know what to do with another notebook and pen. I already had a few pens and notebooks—the pens unused, their ink drying (or dried) and …
hello rowing or: how I stopped worrying and learned to love cardio
It all started with a slight twinge inner, right elbow; or more specifically the area known as the antecubital fossa. I would climb and then it would hurt. So I’d take a 15 minute break and then go again, wincing at the pain. So I took a break. Went back after the (too) short time …

I am going to be honest and say that I’ve been deeply struggling with finding that creative spark. I have a few creative outlets that I want to pursue: writing, music, and photography. I know I enjoy each one, but I can’t seem to keep a disciplined routine for each one. My desire to be …
winding wandering ways
Hello. Consider this a short update of my life. A lot has changed; a lot hasn’t. Let’s start with what hasn’t. I am still at my same employer, in the same city, and living in the same place. That means much of my day-to-day is still exactly how I described it in my last post. …
i got a cat
I got a cat. His name is Macaroni, but I call him Mac for short. He is a black and white, domestic shorthair. At 3 years old and 11 pounds, he is still one cuddly boy. He loves to be pet, held, and given as much attention as possible. Mac is also pretty vocal, so …
