115 Miles Back to You
The summer of 2021 wasn't anything spectacular on paper. There was no big trips, no dramatic life changes, but it was the first summer that made something inside of me shift. That was the summer I met him. For the sake of privacy, i'll call him Kevin, but nothing what I felt for him was pretend.

The Case For Useless Joy
One thing I have learned while being alive, is that life in fact has a way of piling on top of us. The older we get the more layers seem to accumulate. Bills stacked like bricks, work deadlines marching in a never ending parade, responsibilities multiplying as if they've found some secret breeding grounds that we didn't know about. Somehow between learning to budget, remembering to answer emails, keeping ourselves alive, and showing up for the people most important in our lives, adulthood becomes heavy and hard. It's not that joy just disappears from our lives it just gets buried under the things we should and must do. Because of the weight our busy lives give us, I am a firm believer that every adult needs at least one hobby that is absolutely pointless.

According to the adults online, if you weren't up before sunrise, writing in your journal, and drinking a green smoothie, your life was basically a failure waiting to happen. I believed what the adults online said. I became miserable, not understanding why waking up early didn't transform me into a hyper glowing version of myself.

With a little creativity and a few simple tweaks, you can transform even the coldest evenings into cozy, comfortable nights.
