Love Letter #2
When I think of how we met, I can’t believe how we managed to grow a long distance friendship and make it work over the years. God, that book wasn’t even good. The best part about it was the people it enabled me meet. But mostly just you. Oh goodness. You and I have seen…
Love Letter #1
I have this bad habit of loving things I see potential in. This is a good quality for finding vintage clothing or a piece of furniture waiting to be sanded down to its better days and refinished to reflect its former glory. It’s less helpful in relationships. There is a person there who you see…

2016 Books That Changed My Perspective
Once you’re out of college, it’s on you to keep learning. And boy, have I been busy learning this year. Between starting a company I didn’t plan on to learning how to use Tinder, it’s been a hell of a growth curve. Just a few of the things I’ve been learning about this year have…

Depression and entrepreneurship. (Or all the ways I train and trick my depressed self into doing things when I don’t want to)
Most of the time, I manage my depression really well. Most people don’t know I struggle with it because I’m happy and bubbly and shit most of the time. They equate depression with sadness, and that’s simply not true. When Kristen Bell released this essay and this video, I jumped for joy because she nailed…
