If I were in a movie, this would be the part where I finally realize that I just have to listen to myself, and with this revelation, I’d win some sort of championship that I’ve been training my entire life for. But instead, another realization- that although change is inevitable- to hold tight onto my [...]
I’m having some kind of crisis- the exact opposite of puberty. Puberty is awkward, but at least I knew the answer to everything. I’m not trying to sound deep and philosophical in any way, but I can’t help and think of how strange the whole scheme of life is– not just how grand and fleeting [...]

I’m not anyone to [...]
