Socially Anxious at the Atlanta Art Fair

The second annual Atlanta Art Fair has already come and gone. It feels like a mere five months ago I was there for the inaugural event, where all of the attendees browsed each booth slowly… eyebrows raised and lips slumped with impressed expressions.

i got broken up with and i broke my nail

It’s only been a month, but it’s felt like much longer. My emotions are constantly churning, memories folding over one another.

I think it changed my brain chemistry. I used to think that my best friend’s devotion to Sex and the City should be studied. When I met her – Black, 14, raised in the suburbs – I never, not once, took her seriously when she would tell me to watch SATC. But when her phone Read More
With Love, From Seoul

I am back after two weeks in Seoul, South Korea. It was long ago enough that I have unpacked my luggage, but the evidence that it wasn’t so far away is still here; my sleep schedule will get on track one of these days. I want to rehash my trip, knowing that this will not Read More
hm…I didn’t know 26 would look like this

I never knew how much I would enjoy the feeling of being in my late twenties. The year 26 seems so pretty, and 27 seems prettier. Something about it feels fresh. It makes me think of summer dresses and eating out with my friends in the evening under twinkling outdoor lights. Except… just one thing… Read More
