  • Come At Me

    Talk About it Tuesday I was bullied pretty badly in middle and high school. In middle school, I was the weird, shy new girl that dressed funny and read books instead of talking when there was opportunity. In high school, I put myself in situations where people could assume things about me. And they did.… →

  • One Social Media to Rule Them All

    What app eats up most of your screen time — and do you even feel bad about it? I have given up on most apps. Eh. Maybe “given up” isn’t the right thing to say. More like, I quit using them. “Giving up” implies things didn’t go my way on them. Things were fine on… →
