What’s this blog about?

Arguably, everything I write is about impermanence — about death and grief, self-actualization, and spending the time we do have together well. Readers will get content about DIY projects, cooking, pitches that got rejected from major publications, and the Catholic church.

Time to D-I-Y / D-I-E

In times of great stress or heartache, there is nothing as soothing as a DIY video. Inject these 90-second little morsels of brightly colored capitalism directly into my brain, so that I can dream of another cleaner, more expensively decorated world. One where I am not too afraid of losing my security deposit to paint my apartment something other than the landlord special white. One where I can actually hang up my art in the two full years I live somewhere and not just succumb to the depressive act of leaning frames against the wall. One where I do not contemplate my own mortality or that of my loved ones. One where I feel at home.
