    Read excerpt

    At the time of writing this, I am less than 48 hours into nursing one of the most agonizing emotional hangovers I think I’ve ever had. I’ve been either about to cry or actively crying since Monday night. I’ve been drinking electrolytes and taking ginger shots because I feel literally hungover. All because I went and saw Noah Kahan on the last night of his tour in Seattle.I know, I know, there’s people that are dying, Kim, but I was not prepared for the affect this show was going to have on me.

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I’m a little embarrassed to admit that up until a couple of years ago, I didn’t know what a grift was. I mean, I could put it together from context clues, but I didn’t actually know what it meant or entailed.But when I saw it in the comment section for a certain guest on a podcast I listened to, I decided it was finally time to find out, once and for all.Hunched over my keyboard as though I was trying to shield any passerby from seeing what I was doing (there was none, I was at home), I shameful

    I have a confession to make…The last few months have felt like a giant misstep.It seems like the only thing I’ve been able to think of to write for the report lately is how not fun writing has been…When I started, I was just in it for the love of the game.
