It's a really crazy thing to experience, grief is a feeling that is shared-- I think-- across animals, it's one of the deepest feelings we have that is also felt by others, not just humans. But since I can only speak for humans, here it is. I think grief is about as bittersweet as it gets. Grief is the feeling of absence; the feeling of losing a love that was once there, which is to say, there is a part of you that go to experience that love and that's something to be grateful for. I've found that grieving people who are still alive is so strange, there's always a part of me that wants to will the person back into my life but I always wonder if it's worth it. Sometimes I also grieve for my younger self. All the endless possibilities of what I could've been if the circumstances were different. It can make you spiral a bit, so I suppose a word of advice (that no one really asked for and that's okay): find ways to ground yourself, find people who help you ground yourself, and always remember that you're here and that's enough.

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I don’t feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre — and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background — come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

Yea yea I know that's the most corny, most BORING answer but it's the truth. Today, my friends and I drove 30-45 mins just to go to wingstop. Why? Because we had never tried it before. It was a long endeavor, but now I will always have those memories with me. Don't be afraid to try things, especially the stupid little things; I find that those are the ones worth living for.

Once I give you a contact picture on my phone, that shit is never getting taken down. I don’t care if we never speak again, I don’t care if you did me super dirty or vice versa. Once it’s done that’s it.

I'm personally a very sentimental person, so, every so often I take a good look at my jewelry. You see, I am composed of everything that people have gifted me. From necklaces I have gifted myself, to rings my parents have bought me, to bracelets my ex has made me. Nonetheless, I like to remember each and every memory attached to these pieces of jewelry, they remind me of who I once was, how much I have grown. Here's to new beginnings, old endings-- and everything in between.
