90s nostalgia vibes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I got caught in a YouTube rabbit hole and found parts of myself. This is the video that stopped me, though: This is a 9 minute clip of No Doubt performing Just A Girl live. And when I say performing, I mean PERFORMING their asses off. Their on-stage theatrics are playful and coordinated without feeling at all rehearsed. The attention to detail with their hand movements, their body language, and the choreography is like watching an indie movie that you just know is gonna be good. And the guitaris
How much longer do I chase this dream? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The start of fall always does something to me. University was fun. I was a scholarship basketball player flying around America playing the sport I love. I got along with all my teammates, loved most of my professors, and had a wild time on campus. My dream of being a pro basketball player ended with a groin injury my second year, and even though I was disappointed I knew what my first love was.

Hello friends, so this day has come. I’ve finally decided to do a course and I’d love for you to take part. It’s a three-class intensive that I’m calling Craft, Culture, and Currency.

This is what happens when you allow yourself to feel inspired. I was sitting in a hotel room the other day, passing the time before I headed out for dinner. I flipped through YouTube music and saw a new SAINt JHN album had been released. I pressed play and sat back. For the next thirty minutes, I was entranced. SAINt JHN pulled me into a world of broken but hopeful love, mistakes, pleasures and romantic possibilities. For ten songs, I was part of a story not unlike the ones I write myself. <p cl
Two weeks in Europe revived my writing spirit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This trip altered how I think about writing. I must say that I had no idea how beautiful parts of Europe could be. To be specific, I split my time between the UK and Europe—Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland—and the beauty I saw there was unmatched. I want to start with Scotland because I wasn’t prepared for this. Scotland is the most beautiful place I’ve travelled to in my life. Now, I haven’t been to every country, obviously, but out of the places I’ve visited, the beauty of Scotland took my
