Notes to Remind Me & You #1

They say life will continue to teach you the same lesson over and over again until the lesson is learned. Like it’s some kind of punishment for being inept at learning. Almost like you’re being stupid by not learning it. Maybe that’s my trauma talking but here me out- I think I’m beginning to disagree…

DJ Kool Said- LET ME CLEAR MY THROAT

Let’s talk about hard conversations 🤓 They’re hard for a reason. These conversations require a level of rawness and vulnerability that a majority of us aren’t comfortable with stepping into.  But these conversations are the cycle breakers, game changers, and the moment makers. Often viewed as negative or having to be “mean”, hard conversations can…

DON’T Call Me Miss Cleo

Something I don’t share often (but probably should if I ever want it to actually BE anything) is that I have a small metaphysical business where I perform energy work and read tarot. The reason I don’t really talk about is honestly made up of 2 parts I realized over this last year- One part…

What’s Age Got to Do with It?

Lately I’ve been contemplating at what age it is you accept yourself for who you actually are? Not who you want to be, who you’re trying to become, or who others see you as. I mean truly accept yourself? I feel like I struggle with this because for most of my life I watched my…

An Ode to LA: Three Years In

Today marks 3 years of living in LA. Four apartments, three new jobs, two situationships , one big heartbreak , and zero regrets. I knew I never really belonged in Jersey. Not forever at least. I came here because for the first time in my life I did something for me- not because my family…

Bookstores & Daydreams

I imagine sitting at the bookstore cafĂ© with my headphones in. So immersed in my writing that you appear behind me and I don’t notice. You found me here, you knew this was where I’d be. It’s 108 degrees outside and you knew I’d find some place cool where I could set up and dive…

Letters She’ll Never Send IX

I answered quickly in defense. I matched your energy to avoid the reaction of pain that was instant. “Look I love you but I’d never date you.” “You think I don’t know that?” “We’d kill each other. I think we tried this in a past life and learned that.” “I know that. Is that what…

Her

“Babe you should come to the gym with me. You always have a six pack after sex, your body is almost perfect! If you just hit the gym a couple times a week you’d be on point.”-my boyfriend to 19 year old me I remember that day. The sheets on the bed were crimson red…

A Moment V

…. and then the beautiful red head sitting on the floor near the bottom of my bed looked at the card I had just pulled out of the deck for her. She took a breath and then her sad blue eyes looked up at me across the comforter. In a dry sing song voice she…
