What I Accomplished: Graduating College

As I thought, it was anti-climactic. I did, however, think there would be more to say about it, and as much as I’m trying to come up with something worth saying I don’t really know what there is to say. I’ve never been especially fixated on big events or lifechanging moments. As far as I can tell I live in a kind of liminal place at all times which makes moments like this a little lackluster for me. Perhaps its something I’ve learned working in theater or maybe that’s just me. Or, maybe without a clear next phase in sight I simply haven’t registered any meaningful impact yet. In any case, I’m sure whatever is around the corner will be just as exciting.

My New Practice: Running

This is something I never expected to have a passion for. I absolutely hate running, or “hated” I suppose. In lieu of a gym and cardio equipment, I made the change to *shudder* running outdoors at the start of lockdown. A month in and suddenly I’ve found a passion for it. I’ve become one of those people obsessed with times and paces, measuring everything and every other annoying athletic habit you can think of. I’m sure this one is just a phase but for all intents and purposes its a good thing to get under my belt. I doubt It’ll ever become a lifelong obsession but who knows, at the very least its something to work towards right now.

2020: A Reflection On What I Learned

I'm not one for new year's resolutions; it's never been for me. But, with 2020 passing me by, I would like to reflect on what happened, the pain and pleasure, of the last 12 months. The tempting thing to do is to sigh and tally off complaints, but in the interest of...
