To the Dad I Barely Had
As I previously mentioned, I’m currently transitioning from angrily shaking my fist at the sky back to your regular, everyday, friendly, neighborhood Veronica Sawyer angst. One of the biggest contributing factors of said anger comes from my dad’s diagnosis. I’ve been avoiding writing about it for almost a month now because once I actually put…

My Teenage Angst has a Blog Post
(Veronica Sawyer was one of my fictional character, so I have to throw a Heathers reference in there to stay trendy.) First and foremost, I’m so deeply sorry for not writing in so long. The past few weeks have been interesting to say the least, and I’ve been waiting to write until something good happened.…

Would You Like the Turndown Service? (Because I’m Doing Some Housekeeping)
Hello, my dear readers. I know I haven’t written in a couple of weeks, and it isn’t fair to you. If I may, let me explain myself. 1). I got a new job: I was offered an amazing new job at a movie theater where I get to talk about movies all day and get…

Things That Go Blog in the Night
(It’s not my best, but I only had two green teas and no coffee today, it’s Monday, and I’m an emotionally fragile individual, so take me for who I am.) If it isn’t apparent by now, fall is my favorite time of the year. Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas (and I have seven-and-a-half…

Even Avril Had to Say the Things She’d Never Say
For my whole blogging life, I’ve always written out how I feel. But what do you do when the words won’t come? For once, I don’t know exactly what to say. I keep trying and trying to write something that adequately sums up my feelings, but nothing looks or sounds right. It’s like there’s a…

Birthdays Weren’t the Worst Days
(Sorry Biggie.) Growing up, my mother made our birthdays downright magical. Don’t get me wrong, the buildup to the holidays was weeks in the making. We labored over picking the perfect costume (my favorites being an authentic, and in no way sexy, zombie school girl and Quailman) and gleefully watched as KP brought our visions…

Don’t Save the Date
I’m dead tired of dating. I’m bored with carefully calculating every text, Snapchat, Facebook message, and the like. My eyes are going to permanently roll back in my head if I have to try to be nerdy (but not too nerdy), cool (but not too cool), or uninterested (but not too unintereted) with another dude.…

Limbo for Dummies
How do you completely move on? How do you finally convince yourself you cannot keep doing what you’re currently doing? (And if you do, they’ll be sending Nurse Ratched for you shortly.) How do you make yourself believe the potential doesn’t equate to the reality? I don’t know either, but that’s what I’m trying to…

You Had Me At Blog Post
Remember when I wrote a blog post less than 24 hours ago, boldly proclaiming my decision and how I said I learned something about myself, and it wasn’t about a person but rather the journey of self-discovery? It was all totally true. But it also wasn’t. You see, my decision to chalk this up as…

Write Where I Need to Be: Part 2
The past 48 hours of my life have been some of the most reflective. I realize, even moreso than I admitted the other day, that I’ve been completely jaded about relationships. You see, I’ve spent my life adamently against second chances. I never understood why my friends gave their significant others second, third, or even…
