I’m reading Anne Lamott’s book Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life. She has a chapter titled Jealousy. So funny because you can’t help being jealous of people. You know it’s a bad feeling to have because it…
Passion
I go to a bunch of alumni events because of the free alcohol. Sometimes to hang out with friends, but mainly I dig the free-flowing juice of life. You can imagine my surprise when I walked into an event last…
Poor Little Rich Girl
