too hard to say goodbye.

February 1, 2011

ok, so about the big thing i was saying i might have to leave in the past in order to move forward. i know it’s been a while since i wrote that post, but i wasn’t trying to leave you in suspense or anything. honestly, i was just equivocating about this decision so much that [...]

when you fail to plan.

January 19, 2011

i hear the phrase “i want to have it all” quite a bit, usually from women. the sentiment didn’t used to strike me as anything unusual, especially since i’d heard it so many times. i would think to myself, well, of course; who wouldn’t want to have it all? i mean, isn’t that what we [...]

and now i wait.

January 15, 2011

i’m done. i can’t believe it. i am officially an applicant to the english graduate program at byu. i will remain in a state of continual prayer and near-vomiting until i hear from the admissions committee. for the sake of anyone who reads my blog, i hope the response is positive, because if it isn’t, [...]

the road to wherever is paved with whatever.

January 5, 2011

so…hi. i’ve been gone forever, this i know. i’ve been trying really hard to keep myself away from the internet so i’d have time and energy to work on my grad school application. it’s due on january fifteenth (yeesh) so i’m ready to start thinking about my blog again. ok, that’s kind of a lie. [...]

i feel a little naked.

November 21, 2010

i’ve been steadily getting back to my old, pre-ppd self. it’s been a terribly drawn-out process that i hope to never have to deal with again, but it finally seems as though this chapter of my life is coming to a close. i’m prepared for relapses and what not, but it really feels like i’ve [...]

the accidental anorexic.

November 19, 2010

i’m putting up this week’s guest post a day early–i’ll have something cool to blog about on sunday, so you get to be treated to lisa today. lisa and i have been blog friends forever, almost since i first started writing depressionsandconfessions. her blog, sarcastic lab rat, is where she mouths off about work, marriage, [...]

existentialism: the blogger edition.

November 15, 2010

a couple weeks ago, i had a day when i felt overwhelmed and fed up with everything, and i decided to take a blogging break. i gave myself permission to step away for as long as i needed to without any strings attached. if i wanted to post, i would post. if i didn’t, i [...]

isolation: not fun at any age.

October 30, 2010

when i talk, i tend to get sidetracked really easily. i’ll start out talking about what i made for dinner last night and somehow end up talking about why i’d never go bungee jumping. all my friends are used to this and keep up with me really well–which makes me think that i just gravitate [...]

birth control (not for me: the bloom is off the rose, friends).

October 27, 2010

my parents didn’t talk to me about birth control when i was a teenager. in fact, i didn’t really get the sex talk until the day before my wedding, and it was pretty much the single most embarrassing moment of my life. my mom and i were running errands, and she waited until we were [...]

frying pan? or fire? hmmm….

October 25, 2010

this past week i had blog burnout. literally no interest whatsoever in anything blog-related. i always promised myself that i would only blog as long as i was still enjoying it, and last week i was giving myself so much anxiety over the fact that i couldn’t for the life of me think of something [...]
