  • Joy Runs Don’t Last Forever

    Today I was at the gym, and I had the sudden urge to just start bawling. Maybe I should start with the fact that I decided to do my 6.5-mile long run before hitting legs at the gym. That was the worst mistake of my life—but I’ll probably do it again at some point, convincing myself it…

  • Learning How to Be Quiet

    I have nothing written for today, and usually I have at least one piece of writing from my journal stashed away so that I always have something to post — but today I’m empty. My thoughts are slightly empty as well. Life has been so… very slow compared to how I typically live. I’m not…
