When I was 19, someone in their mid-40's to 50's would say, “you’re so young!” I blame it on my ambition.

There are certain phrases that carry their meaning through shared understanding. She’s my wife (of course I love her). Think about your kids (don’t shoot yourself).
One of these phrases is: It’s my job. Of course you’ll get it done. Of course sometimes you don’t feel like it.

I know it’s normal to write advice to your younger self, but, even though the name of this article suggests it, I can’t. The younger me is already gone, I will never be 20 years old again. Also, what I did back then was the best I knew how to do.. Everything I’ve done is what I…

I was thinking about the nature of friendships while working today.
I’ve quickly realized that many of the friends I make in college are ones I’m likely to fall out of touch with over the next few years, which is kinda lonely sounding.
Sometimes I let the writing take me wherever it wants…
To me, I have finally created the real and honest personality that was meant to form inside of me. It was meant to find my soul. To find something real and some meaning to live for.
And that should never be taken away from anyone nor no one should let anyone take that…

I know this will sound odd, but, having been in a serious car accident, I can say that as long as it is a definitive instant kill, it would be the way I would prefer to die. There is no pain until after you come out of the adrenaline shock of the event itself. At least that was my experience. It was just a gray expanse, then realizing I was sitting…

Hey Anne,
Thanks for sharing this. I lost my dad nearly three years ago to a painful battle with cancer. Grief is intensely personal yet it’s lived out for all to see. I think our pain makes people uncomfortable but it’s now a part of the tapestry of our lives.

When I was a senior in high school, of all the awards issued, I won for ‘best hair’ — thanks to my ethnicity which attributed to my thick curly black hair.
