Bathroom Habits
Three years ago I was working as a nursing assistant at my local hospital during the height of COVID. I applied for a job in the hospital because, the restaurant industry that had kept me both employed and well paid since I was sixteen was completely null and void. I began to feel a sense…

“I Love Jesus and I Say Fuck”
I’ve been wanting to write this article for some time now but never really got around to it. Yes, the title is a little abrupt but that was exactly my goal. At some point when we shift from teenager life to young adulthood we move out from home and start gaining some form of independence.…

Some words about love
The annoying thing about love is you never get a warning before you fall in love with someone. The love that’s full of butterflies, going beyond typical anxiousness and putting you into a full blown tail spin. Love that is such a raw connection leaving us to fall often times too quickly. We can be…
