A Somewhat Happy Update
In August, I went to visit my family. The reasons weren’t the happiest – apart from the fact that I hadn’t seen them since before my trip to Japan in 2019/pre-pandemic, my mom was recently given a cancer diagnosis and … Continue reading

Dreading the Dentist
Since I’m taking my year off from pressuring myself to keep up with social media, I quickly fall behind on the accounts that I enjoy. So, I did a little catch up today and came across this post that is … Continue reading

Slow Jams
a Playlist by kmah88~ This one dates back to the first few years of the new millenium. The first “volume” was created in 2000 by my co-worker, Sheryl, when I worked at the Levi’s Store in Winnipeg. She’d play it while … Continue reading

I have always been drawn to things of an unusual psychological nature. When I was in my early years of high school, my best friend and I liked to find books dealing with characters with “problems”. I remember reading several … Continue reading

Cruisin’: The High School Reunion Tour
Towards the very end of high school, my friends and I were really into Hip Hop and R&B – which is a complete shift from the alternative and grunge stuff we listened to just a couple of years earlier. The … Continue reading
Heartbroken
“If somebody loves you, won’t they always love you?” I think about this quote from Whitney Houston’s Where Do Broken Hearts Go a lot. For me, yes, it’s true. Once I love someone, I will always love them. I don’t … Continue reading
