An Incomplete Thought - Post Election Day 2024

The day after the election was a heavy day for many of us. I sat down to write and could barely organize my thoughts in my own head, let alone on a page. But I thought I’d share the few things I did manage to get down. For everyone out there feeling similar things, know you’re not alone and we’ll get through this TOGETHER.

A fourth (and final, for now) arbitrary rating of all the documentaries I've watched recently (no spoilers)

Alright folks, time for my final (for now) installment in my series of documentary reviews. I’m not sure if I’m getting bored of them, or I’ve just seen all of the super good ones that are currently available to watch, but whatever the case, I’ll be taking a break from my doc obsession and rewatching some of my old fav series I haven’t seen in a while or never finished.

An Updated Top Ten Travel Bucket List - Five Years Later

I’ve been feeling the itch to write lately, but honestly, I haven’t had a whole lot to write about.

Things are slow, but steady in my life. I have zero things to complain about, but I have don’t have anything super exciting to celebrate at the moment either.

But I was doing a little maintenance around my site today and I stumbled back upon and old post I titled “Top 10 Travel Bucket List,” which I had completely forgotten about. I haven’t looked at since I wrote it back in early 2019 - four years ago. Upon reviewing it, I noticed that a few of the places I’d gotten to visit since then! And a few more of them that I’ve lost interest in visiting for one reason or another; so, I thought it might be fun to write out an updated list. If only just to help myself keep track of where I should book next. 😉

I'm in my Swiftie-Minecraft-Volvo-Hunger Games “era” and I’m loving every minute of it.

It’s a new year and maybe it’s the Sagittarius in me, or maybe I was just born with it, but that’s the perfect excuse to reinvent myself, yet again. 😏😏 And for me, that means a whole slew of new fixations that will become my entire personality for an extended period of time. I’ve seen the trend going around online of people making their ins and outs list, and while I feel like that’s a bit played out, I have been thinking about my current ins a lot lately; so much so that some of my current obsessions are legit keeping me awake at night.

For the first time in along time, I feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be. It's the strangest feeling to try and describe to someone who doesn't know what you're talking about, but those who get it, get it.

Our Best Friend Date Night at the 3 Arts Club Cafe in Chicago
