Under the Same Moon
Sweet friends, This quote I saw online the other day has been blowing my mind: “Every single person who’s ever lived has looked at this same moon. Like someone in the 1800s saw it and thought “maybe tomorrow will be better.” and now, so do you” And look, I know it’s obvious in present day…
Alternate Universe Me is Popping Champagne
Hey rockstars! So it’s been a week since Rent Free Poem Week — it’s always such an emotionally exhausting time because I haven’t done that much reading comprehension since High School.

Rent Free Poem Week 2: Day 1
Hello rockstars, I wanted to get a few more blog posts in to welcome Fall. For so many years, September marked the start of school, new beginnings, and the chance to be a “new you.” But ever since I finished school, September mostly just marks the return of heavier morning traffic as parents shuttle their…
A “Classic Sandhya” Move
Hey rockstars, I’ve been meaning to blog for a few weeks now, so here’s a chaotic little omnibus of all the half-formed ideas I’ve had.
