Beach Life
When friends come to visit, they always want to see “your life.” Ah, yes, friends, I always cruise around Newport Beach on my bike without a care in the world, hit up the arcade in the Fun Zone, chase dolphins down the boardwalk, drink coffee at Al Capp’s and eat fish tacos from Bear Flag…
Friends | Help | Space | Vulnerability | Truth
Last night, I needed a friend, but I was too stubborn/proud/self-sufficient to ask for one. She came over anyway. Sharing my burden with her lightened my load more than I ever could have imagined.

Can I Really Make It Here?
When I moved to Aspen, failure was not an option. Sure, I did the whole trying-it-out-for-a-month thing, but that was a trial run for what I knew was inevitable: that I was moving to Aspen with the Vermonster, who was living out a dream. So failure wasn’t an option so long as I wanted to…

Let’s Get Real: Moving to a New Place Solo (Sometimes) Sucks
I’ve talked about making new friends in Austin and Aspen, but both times it was while I had friends. In other words, I’m a preachy idiot. For all my pretty beach photos and happy community talk, let’s get real: moving somewhere by yourself with no friends (ok, I have one friend) sucks. Most of the…
