Burn After You Read

I made my best friend write this in the first page of my Journal in a fancy font when we were in high school. Obviously, I hoped no one would take that literally because I quite liked the book.

Here I am, more than half a decade later and a part of me seemingly always knew that if I ever started a blog, I’d want to call it that. The thing behind the thing is if I ever get around to not only writing something, but also sharing it with the world, I’d want it to be just honest and ‘me’ enough that after I published it, a part of me would wish anyone who read it could burn it after.

As far as descriptions go, I don’t think I have one for this place. I don’t have a target audience, a topic I’d like to address or even an agenda. I’ve been told over the years that I can express myself well, and not everyone has that ability. So this is me, trying to leverage that. I know a thing or two about complex emotions and I am aware other people have them too. So if a couple of you can relate to my process, if it speaks to yours even a little bit, then my work here is done. Also, if you’re here purely for entertainment value, I have nothing against fun, I just can’t always promise you that things here will be fun. Especially since there’s like a million definitions of fun.

I don’t have it all figured out, as you will soon find out. My sentences tend to run too long and sometimes I start writing one and forget why in the middle, so this should be fun.

The truest thing about me is that I don’t know. In fact, the phrase ‘ I don’t know’ might as well be my tag line because I use it a lot. Sometimes more than three times in a sentence. Yet I am always learning. About myself, the world around me, alternate universes. I’m trying to believe in a higher being. 

I ask a lot of questions.


A wise lady once said to me, “Embarrassment is a waste of time.” I spend a good chunk of my life trying to live that out. Whenever I share, I usually shut up just after I say something I feel I shouldn’t have. I am constantly finding myself in my writing and my hope is that you guys can stick around. Watch the chaos, boredom, beauty and all that unfold.
