Summary: Khai Diep lacks the ability to have emotion — that is any emotion that is not annoyance. Due to this, there is oneContinue reading “Book of the Month Review: the Bride Test by Helen Hoang”

Getting Real About Grief
Let’s just get this out of the way: grief absolutely sucks. It is isolating, and consumes you. It is the weight that bears down on you, and is the feeling in your chest when holidays come along, and you look over and see that empty chair that your loved one used to sit. My momContinue reading “Getting Real About Grief”

Relationships Are A Two-Way Street, Folks
One thing that continually bothers me is seeing a girl essentially lower herself for a guy who essentially does not care about her, or does not put in the same amount of effort that she does. I get it. It’s not 1950 anymore. Women are more and more taking the reign of the relationship, whetherContinue reading “Relationships Are A Two-Way Street, Folks”

Remembering Mom
Whenever I think about my mother, the one memory that always comes to mind is her in her sweatpants and slippers with her iPod shuffle.
