Nobody puts baillee in the corner

Hey Mom, It’s been a hell of a year. 2016 hasn’t been particularly kind to us, so I want to remind you of all of the ways you’re amazing. It seems to be getting harder and harder to stay positive these days, so I hope this lifts your spirits. I put you through 22 hours…

Indiana Jones was afraid of snakes. Peter Pan was terrified of adulthood. I, like the greats, have a fear too: driving. I’m 23-years-old, and I only have my state ID. I have not been behind the wheel of a vehicle in over nine years, and I don’t plan on that changing anytime soon. A lot…

I’ve done a lot of crazy things in my life. Heck, I’ve done a lot of crazy things this week. Regardless, what I’m about to say tops the list: I’ve decided to give up alcohol and most junk foods for the rest of 2016. I tried to give up alcohol briefly, but due to a…

My grandfather has only been gone 36 hours, but it already feels like a lifetime. As you may have seen or heard, I barely missed him dying. I was on the train ride here when he passed. I’ve been overcome with guilt because I had a gut feeling a few days ago, but I wasn’t…

This picture isn’t some selfie snagged from Instagram. This isn’t my way of jumping on some bandwagon. This is a real part of me, and I don’t mind sharing it. This is me during a major panic attack.

A little over a year ago, I started this very blog.I didn’t have a lot of confidence in my writing.  I had just become the Assistant Manager at SuperSouth.  I still had hair. Oh how the turntables…. A year ago, I was trembling as I took my fingers to my keyboard. I didn’t think anyone…

I’ve reached a point of sheer romantic frustration. (Not to be confused with sexual frustration). This doesn’t mean I’m ready to settle down (just yet) and find my Mr. or Mrs. Baillee MaCloud Perkins, but it does mean I’m ready to, dare I say, get myself one of them “adult relationships.” I’m ready to have…

If you haven’t caught on, I’m all about body love. I believe everyone should accept themselves completely. I’ll also be the first to admit it’s a hell of a lot easier than it sounds. That’s why on Saturday, I let myself be a bit more vulnerable: I wore a crop top. You might think that…
