Hi, I’m Back!

This is my story.
The Search for Self with Siddhartha
This is something of a book report; I apologize in advance. Siddhartha is a book about finding yourself. About finding your true self. But also it’s about realizing that you can be more than one person in a lifetime.
Four Things I've Learned in the Last Six Months
Lightbulb moments that run the gamut from work to life to music (with only a small amount of complaining).

Where are all the Badass Poems for Badass Women?
Because of my #poem follow setting on Instagram, I see lots of mushy posts and things that make you think and sometimes, and most notably in this case, about a million male “poets” writing about women.

Suddenly you feel silky soft latex rub along your skin. This feels weird… but in a bad way?… Then warm drips of wax that honestly feels great
