Nobody puts baillee in the corner

I haven’t had a life of family vacations and white picket fences, and I’m totally okay with that. I’ve had a real life, one full of struggles and pain and tears alongside triumphs and wellness and laughter. I’m not going to go into detail about some things because I’m not the only member of my…

I’ve been watching horror movies for as long as I can remember. My mom and I used to spend Sundays with junk food and the horror movie marathons on SyFy, back when it was still SciFi. We never missed an episode of Buffy, Angel, or Charmed in the Perkins household. My brother-in-law and I bonded…

I’ve been turned down a lot over the years. In fact, I’ve been turned down more than I haven’t, but I’m still not afraid to make a move. Yeah, it sucks, and it results in me spending 48 hours curled up in bed watching the “Casino Night” and “Niagara” episodes of The Office and A…

When I wrote my first blog post, I made a commitment to be honest. I wanted to give people a raw and honest glimpse into my life, and so far, I have, but I struggled with whether or not to write about this topic. After talking to a couple of my confidants, there was a…

So I used to drink…a lot. My Animal House tenacity was almost unrivaled. I’ve take straight shots of moonshine. I once drank over a fourth of a bottle of Smirnoff in less than an hour.

To break up the monotony and avoid this become a string of blog posts with the long-lasting impression of me asking “What’s up with that?” in the voice of a comic from the late 80s, I’ve decided to break my own rule and test my boundaries by randomly sharing my own pieces. I wrote this…

May marks the one year anniversary of my college graduation. Looking at where I am in life as opposed to a year ago, I think I’m doing pretty well. I made Assistant Manager in less than a year. I’m financially stable for the first time in months. I no long listen to Childish Gambino and…

If you grew up in a small town like I did, you’re probably familiar with the phrase “fair weather friends.” For those of you who didn’t grow up in a town where evening movie tickets cost $4.25, and the mall resembled a prop from Dawn of the Dead, it refers to friends who are only…

(Shout out to the one person who will get the title by the end of the blog) Last weekend, I went shopping at the mall with a friend. I sat in one of the chairs in the lounge area amidst the dressing rooms while she tried on all of her potential purchases. I had been…
