Sharp as a needle ~ Scathing as a razor blade ~ Welcome to my world.
Six years. Six years of knowing you, and I've yet to let you know how I've felt for the past five. Surreal to believe that so much time has passed from our college days, now as full-fledged adults trying to make sense of the world. My love for you has more-or-less remained constant, even with …

Sexuality (as a woman) has always been a difficult topic for me to explain. For the longest time, I didn't even know where I stood with myself on the spectrum: one day I liked guys, the other day I liked girls. My sexual preference fluctuated throughout my teenage years, even well into adulthood. It wasn't …

Although the book (and film) came out quite some time ago, To All the Boys I've Loved Before recently came on my radar. I'd watched the film months ago, but for some reason it came back in my mind. No idea why, considering I found the film cute, but breezy (and Noah Centineo isn't that hot)...but perhaps …
Bonjour, mes amis! Today marks Independence Day in France, known as le 14 juillet. Meant to commemorate the storming of the Bastille as a sign of protest against the monarchy, it has since become the national holiday of the country, as millions of people take the day off to spend time with family, watch fireworks at the …
Happy Independence Day, USA! July 4th is the day to celebrate the country's separation from England in 1776 (although technically, the exact date is disputed, as some people claim that the "real" independence day is a few days after, or even over a month later). It's the day when people get the day off from …
It's the day after Father's Day, and I'm just getting around to writing about it. I blame myself partially for not writing in advance to be scheduled on the day, and I partially blame the fact that I was traveling, i.e. not having the time to do so. In any case, I'm writing about Father's …
Today marks the first day of Pride Month. It is a month where the world celebrates LGBTQ+ people, their history, and their diversity. It is a time of the year where we remember the fight for equality in a heteronormative society, and we celebrate it with numerous Pride parades all over the globe. It's true …
Today is Mother's Day, and this marks the second year in a row that I'm not home to celebrate it with my mom. This is due to the fact that I'm based in France for work, as I've been for the past four years. Considering that my job doesn't wrap up until the end of …
Although it's only about two months worth, it's pretty great that I've managed to survived this semester, especially a lot better compared with last year's. Granted, two months of teaching isn't really that long, but if you particularly have first-year university students, it can feel like it drags at times. Compared with last year's spring …
Hello! As of today, I turned 26. No longer am I a product of the mid-twenties: I can officially say that I'm in my late twenties and therefore closer to the age of 30. Kind of nerve-wracking to believe that I'm getting older; soon enough, I'll be wondering where the time had gone when I'm …
