Nobody puts baillee in the corner

When I first wrote this piece, I didn’t realize it was actually my goodbye letter to the store I loved. Every farewell letter I tried to write sounded emotionless and calculated. It was like I had built a wall, and I couldn’t write a single word that described how I actually felt but rather how…

(It took me a solid 25 minutes to think of synonyms for each word in the title of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”).   The older I get, the more sentimental the holidays become. When I was younger, I craved toys (thanks again for surviving the year of the Tickle Me Elmo, Ma, and…

A couple of weeks ago, I discovered one of my best friends had never watched Home Alone or it’s equally great (I would argue better, but that’s a discussion for an entirely different blog post) sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Clearly, this had to be fixed on the same day, so she,…

Or to be Gilmore Girls PC, Lane Van Gerbig. Holy moly, lady. We’re getting old. You’ve got a beautiful family, and I’ve got a beautiful coffee mug collection. You’re about to make a life commitment, and I took a solid 15 minutes deciding which sweatshirt to wear to work tomorrow, only to know I’ll change…

I like to think of adulthood as a cyclical process. Walk (or in this case, read) with me for a second. How many people do you still talk to from high school? My number is four. Now, how many people do you still talk to REGULARLY (as at least once a week) from college, my partners-in-grad…

This is probably the hardest piece I’ve ever written. I’m getting really personal and really raw here, so if you are in the mood for something a little bit cheeky or a more light-hearted, I would definitely recommend going back to my Indiana Jones-esque vault and skipping this one or waiting a couple of days…

Cue the Staind because it’s been a while (which I actually had to Google because I would have bet money Creed sang this) . First and foremost, I’m sorry, my dear readers. For the past month and a half, I let a lot of things come before my passions. Some good, some bad. I need…

Life consists of picking and choosing your battles. KP always taught me to choose when and what to fight in order to save your strength for the battles that matter. Right now, I’m learning the significance of her words. Sometimes life is unfair and cruel, but without such struggles, we wouldn’t appreciate all of the…

I never thought the day would come, but I have finally rejoined the world of Tinder. I could totally lie and say it’s completely for writing material, and I probably should, but it’s not. It’s simply me wanting to see what’s out there. It’s also me not having enough time for dating and needing to…

I know I know. Long time, no write. I was in a creative rut. Heck, I was in a life rut. But I’ll get more into that with my next blog post. For now, I want to talk about couples. Before I get into the meat and potatoes of this post, I want to set…
