Hey Rockstars, To continue the celestial theme, lately I have been thinking about moonlight. Apparently, my personality now consists of finding a celestial fact, becoming emotionally overwhelmed by it, and writing a thousand words about why it is secretly a metaphor for being alive. So, here we are again. Moonlight is not technically light created…

Frames of a Monsoon
Hey sweet rockstars, I’ll be honest, my last post was my favorite post of all time. I know that sounds like an exaggeration, but I promise it’s not. The last post I wrote was so unapologetically me, and it changed my life to write it, that I hesitated on how to write another one with…
Old Light and Long Orbits
Hey Rockstars, So you all know I’m big on celestial events – eclipses, moons, stars, planets, etc. And you know I’m doing my physics mini series (though I think I should make it astronomy themed…) So there are a few quotes that I can’t stop thinking about, so here goes. First, if someone were far…
On Sincerity
Hey rockstars! I’ve been wanting to blog for a while but I have been so #burntout at work that I couldn’t bring myself to, even though the sticky note of blog ideas is increasing rapidly. But today I felt compelled to write because I’ve been thinking a lot lately about sincerity. Not in a grand…
I am meant to…
Hey rockstars, It’s been a whirlwind of a week, with lots of highs-highs (one of my close friends got married this weekend to the love of her life!!) and lots of low-lows (I’m livid at the state of the world and annoyed that journalistic integrity is taking such a horrible hit). On Friday night I…
The Law of Conservation of Hope
Hey rockstars, I hope you’ve all been well. A few updates from me. Since it’s LinkedIn official, I guess I can make it official here too: I’ve started my MBA and I’m super excited about it. I’ll only be doing it part-time, and I started 2 weeks ago and love it so far. Second, some…
Forever a Child
Hey rockstars, So I wrote this blog post last night, but then promptly fell asleep before I could upload it. So oops. Anyway, earlier this week Katie and I realized we are massively overdue for BFF time, so we decided to get sushi from this place we’ve always admired from afar. Everyone in this sushi…
“I remember” is Another Way to Say “I love you”
Hey rockstars, Like so many posts before, this was inspired by an Instagram reflection (shocking, I know. But isn’t it nice that I’m so predictable?). A guy named Preston Rakovsky, who shares incredibly vulnerable and real posts about what love means, recently showed up on my “For You” page, and I’m so glad he did….
Do not ask me: “What do you do?”
“So, what do you do?” They expect me to talk about my profession and my source of income. They expect me to name my job and career as if it explains my entire identity. And I, like a fool, give them exactly what they’re looking for: “Oh, I’m a lawyer!” But what I really want…
