Up until maybe four years ago, I exclusively worked in hotels and the service industry. Hotels are a different kind of beast that most people will never fully understand. There’s some things that hotel workers have experienced and seen that are unforgettable, especially the one’s that deal with customers face to face. But probably the […] More
There was a time in middle school when my parents found my diary and it resulted in one of the most humiliating and invasive situations in my life. After discovering that I wanted to “run away” and thinking I was crazy, they sent me to see a psychiatrist. I remember sitting across the desk, looking […] More
“Parents just don’t understand,” as the ever so iconic Beastie Boys have proclaimed back in the day. They really don’t understand where we’re coming from, especially the baby boomers versus millenials. It’s hard when the older generation criticizes everything you do. The baby boomer generation loves to compare the way the grew up to millenials […] More
When you find the one you want to spend the rest of your life with, everything seems to fall into place. The stars are aligned, you finish each other’s sentences, and you can’t wait until you see them again. It all seems too good to be true but the reality of it is that we’re […] More
I’m 4’11” and probably stopped growing in middle school, to be honest. Being short all my life has had several downs versus ups, if you know what I mean. I wish I’d at least written down an even 5’0″ when filling out my information for my driver’s license but I thought I’d be cheating myself […] More
Any advice is good advice, right? No, not at all. There’s some f*cked up advice I’ve been given over the years. I don’t really think that it’s my fault that I’m single because I’m too focused on my career. Thanks for that one, Aunt Susan. That sound advice was coming from a woman that’s going […] More
Depression is rough and when you’re able to get help for it, that’s always the best option. But if you aren’t able to, what’s the next best thing? Opening up to people that don’t understand how you feel doesn’t sound like something you’d want to do but if that’s the only way, then it doesn’t […] More
Dating is a sh*tshow. I’ve been back in the dating game for the past three years and I still don’t know what I’m doing wrong. There’s been countless talks with friends, both male and female, and I still can’t get the hang of the dating game. Do you jump on board with the rest of […] More
Can we all collectively agree that the Fifty Shades of Grey series is some of the worst writing that has made it onto the New York Times Bestseller list? So, now that we’ve got that out of the way, we can also agree that Fifty Shades did bring BDSM somewhat into the mainstream. Back in […] More
There comes a moment in life where you parents sit you down to have “the talk”. You know the one, all about the “birds and the bees” and they finally explain to you what hormones do to your body, the major changes of puberty, and what sex is. I never got the talk, to be […] More
Relationships are a test in and of themselves. You test yourself by becoming a unit and trusting someone with your feelings. Every day, you test whether or not you can put up with your partner and they’re quirks (they’re more like annoying habits when you’re pissed at them) and they’re equally tested just the same.
