The Waste of Waiting for a Man

The Waste of Waiting for a Man

I just wanted someone to pick me. I felt like the awkward teenager at the school dance nervously crossing and uncrossing my legs on the sidelines— only I wasn’t a teenager. I was in college, and I was tired of being single. I know I was still young then, but it felt like all the [...]

Breaking burnout

Breaking burnout

I massaged a headache helplessly and leaned my head into the steering wheel. I had just finished filing a 10-page newspaper to the printer at 1 a.m. and knew I hadn’t studied the past perfect conjugations of Spanish verbs for my quiz at 8 a.m. I was exhausted. As a senior in college, I served [...]

Dedication or an addiction?

Dedication or an addiction?

Are you dedicated to your craft or consumed by addiction?   I’m just starting to realize that what a lot of people call their “career” “passion” or “desire” can often times be an unknown addiction in their heart, but no one seems to see it that way. Especially if what they’re doing isn’t “hurting” anyone….   I [...]

The Truth of Being a “Christian” Woman

The Truth of Being a “Christian” Woman

It’s tough to be a Christian woman. We’ve got words like modesty and grace and prim and proper to contend with – words that don’t always fit us, and the truth is, that’s OK. I, myself, prefer sweatpants over skinny jeans. I’m not great at Pinterest crafts. I’m sarcastic and I wear T-shirts, and it [...]

3 Lessons from a Leper

3 Lessons from a Leper

There’s not much that beats getting amped for a concert you’ve been waiting months for. As the calendar sheds the days leading up to the big event, pre-concert rituals begin: Watching countless videos of the band play live on YouTube to find all of the songs in their set. Check. Spending weeks memorizing all of [...]

Only Wounded Soldiers Can Serve

Only Wounded Soldiers Can Serve

“When you die……have you ever wondered what people will say about you at your funeral?” I take a sip of my drink and mull this over. In High School I wasn’t a very popular kid, so planning my own mental funeral was a game I played to see if anyone would really miss me. Would [...]

The Best Acceptance Speech of All Time

The Best Acceptance Speech of All Time

The Grammy’s is a day for music fans to gather, remember, and celebrate the best music of the past year. When Adele won the Album of the Year award in 2012, we all got to take part in a celebration of her music. We got to smile as she did, snicker at her bloody brilliant [...]

Envelope

Envelope

He stared at the blood stained manila envelope, sitting on his dresser, unaware at the contents inside of it.  As he picked it up, his hands trembled at the thought “I can’t believe it…he wrote to me.” As he opened the envelope, trying ever so carefully to not get his hands stained, he couldn’t help [...]

Good Christian Bitches

Good Christian Bitches

“It’s really strange man. All they can talk about are GCBs.” I’m confused. I’ve heard this acronym before. It was a TV show or something that got cancelled, and then I remember. “Good Christian Bitches?” “Ha! What?! Noooooo….oh man that’s hilarious! Where’d you come up with that?” “It’s a TV show…I think.” “It stands for [...]
