Less Thinking More Doing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ah, summer has come to a close. There are more and more days when the air is crisply cold, the kind of cold that wakes up every bone in your body. I don’t hate it; in fact, I kind of like it, so long as it doesn’t get super chilly. No matter the weather, life goes on. Here are some of the things I have done since our last chat:• Completed 3 books• Rewatched the fourth Harry Potter for probably the 15th time (David Tennant. ‘Nuff said.)• Went to 7 different cafes/bobarees (that’s what I’m calling
I Just Want To Be Bored! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After having an iPhone/iPod Touch addiction for 15 years (the vast majority of my life — and no, I no longer use the iPod Touch), I finally got the memo that enough is enough. So, I spent $70 on a brick for my iPhone.The Brick basically lets me turn my phone into a flip phone whenever I want. It can block any or all of my apps, while still letting me use Google Maps, iMessage, calling, photos, and Spotify.

I have had long hair most of my life. Aside from a stint in college with short hair and bangs, I haven’t really tried going short. Something about this summer, and watching Rachel Sennott in season one of I Love LA made me eager to try it out. I know based on the title, you must be curious what the haircut looks like. This is me (post-chopping off over a foot of hair):<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TCLV!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressiv
My Sketchbook Knows More Than I Do (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The past two weeks have been… interesting to say the least. Since before starting this newsletter, I have been in a transitional stage of life. I’ve been searching for a way into my dream career and job in my post-college era, while saving money in a transitional place. So, when anything major changes, it creates this interesting feeling that I am feeling. So when I quit my job last week, it added to the interestingness of it all. On the one hand, I am proud of myself for standing up for myself
