I bury birds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In my house, you either want nothing to do with dead things, or you put on layers of gloves and place said dead things in a yard waste bag, wrapped up like they’re sleeping. Or a secret third thing: you bury them. I remember being seventeen and feeling like I was far more mature than other people because I was angsty and listened to emo music and understood big feelings and concept albums. I look back at this past version of myself and wonder what she would do with a dead bird. Probably want som
Writer log #3: I’m 10,000 words into my first novel ever (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I decided I wanted to write a book some months ago, I thought that it would be almost done by now. I had a plan: write five-hundred words every single day and a novel draft could be done in about four months. This did not happen. And I think I know why.I used to be a very big believer in intuitive creativity—only creating/writing when my body felt the need to. And this is necessary for me. But it turns out that my body doesn’t always know what it needs or what my mind wants. I wanted to wri
No, I won't die for you (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I was younger, I used to be very certain that, if given the chance, I’d have died for the people I loved without hesitation. And I can see the romance of it; tragedy was always a beautiful thing to me in literature. I even grew up with the bible verse, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13) repeated over and over throughout my childhood in school. So I believed for a long time that dying for someone was a very justified thing. And perhaps
Killer whales won't kill us (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I get pretty fixated on the ocean at least once a year. This year it came a week early because I was by the ocean, but it usually happens during Shark Week—one of the reasons why I still like having cable TV. The internet has a way of hearing and knowing what I’m interested in because, within that week, a youtube video questioning why Killer Whales (or Orcas) refuse to kill us popped up in my feed. And I couldn’t help myself.I used to defend dolphins with my life when I was in elementary school;
I now understand why they sent women to the sea (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For a time last year, my instagram feed was filled with many of those aesthetic carousel posts about feminine melancholia and yearning to be sent to the seaside to cure it—Victorian medicine practices in England in the 18th century included actual prescribed trips to the ocean as cures to depression and other physical and mental illnesses. From breathing in the sea air to bathing in the water, the ocean was seen as remedy.Up until recently, I had never really experienced the ocean before. I’ve r
