A Rather Un-grand Return
After an “inexcusable” blogging break caused by overwhelming classes, I’m back—grandeur-less.

Putting Yourself Out There (Is Terrifying)

You’re Not Behind, You’re Just on a Different Track
It’s 2 a.m., and you’re on your phone, doom scrolling when you really shouldn’t be. And boom…there they are. That person. The one whose life seems perfectly put together.
