Post-Grad Files: Advice From the Other Side
One year ago today (it would’ve been if I hadn’t procrastinated this post, shut up), I experienced the biggest change of my life, to date. Every single day until May 13, 2022 had held at least some formatting, or promise of things to do tomorrow. But not that day. An entire lifetime felt like it…

Reflection: Foundation Building
Often times when I sit down to write one of these posts these days, I wonder how the hell I was ever able to write one every single week. Then I remembered I started this blog 3 months before graduating, moved across the country, Max’s brain expanded a bit, and I moved once again back…

Reflection: Sunny Times and Sunshine States
Happy Easter! Life has been going very well lately. There are a lot of downsides to a 9-5 lifestyle, as I will be the first to tell you. However, the scarcity of time it has imposed has forced me to take stock of what I actually want to do with my time – something I…

Weekly Reflection: New(ish?) Beginnings
One of the main things that holds me back from posting on here anymore is that Florida is a lot less picturesque than Montana, so I never actually have pictures to attach to anything I would write. But, this week I took some pictures of this new raccoon buddy who has taken up residence in…

My Very Good Music Opinions Present: Top 10 Albums of 2022
I’m a month late, but I still beat the Grammy’s, so that’s something. I hate the Grammy’s, and honestly most music review outlets, so I’m being the change I wish to see in the world. I’ve already had to have some reviews scrubbed from the internet recently, so I’m hoping none of these or any…

The Stories I Tell
I’ve tried this post a few different ways, but still haven’t figured out what it is I need to say. To a large extent, this year was just far too big to try to recap. Where would I even begin? In the same year I graduated college, moved 2500 miles away, visited 10 national parks…

Weekly (lol) Reflection: Goodbye Montana
This time next week, I’ll be somewhere in North Dakota, headed back east, leaving the west behind me. But back in April, I was sitting in a business lecture, not paying attention. I was scouring job boards, stressed out of my mind as I watched all my peers shore up their post grad plans. I…

Weekly Reflection: Homecoming
Whoops, it’s been a while again. Everything with Max has been good news ever since his surgery. This week, I was able to fly home to see him for a few days, and it was so relieving to actually get to see him in person. He’s gaining weight back and starting to look like himself.…

Weekly Reflection: Max is a Unit
In context, it feels weird to even try to talk about anything other than my brother this week. A lot of the people who read this routinely will have already heard this by now, but this week Max was diagnosed with a brain tumor, that was then removed the very next day. I got a…

Weekly Reflection: Too Much and Not Enough
I kinda forgot this week even happened. I’ll have to go back and check my notes… This week blew by so fast, and not even for any reason I can particularly remember. I only worked three days this week, but for whatever reason that part felt like the longest work-week I’ve had since I’ve been…
