At times, when I look in the mirror, there are things about my reflection that I wish I could change. When I see an unwanted spot, dark circles, or uneven skin tone, I put on makeup so that I can shield these parts of myself from the outside world. I have this desire to appear to be flawless, but this type of thinking is so damaging. Every time that I look in the mirror and choose to hide things about body, it’s like I’m saying to myself, “You’re not good enough the way you are, so you need to alter your appearance before you can face the world with confidence.”
My Bubbie also always told me, “You gotta do what you gotta do, to get where you wanna get.” Whenever I’m feeling lazy or unmotivated I picture my Bubbie saying that to me.

Coming of age traditions serve as memorable milestones to look back upon and laugh (or cry) at. There’s nothing like commemorating a major milestone in your life with a memorable experience- with accompanying photo evidence for later shame. I live for the story. Funny embarrassing story that is. I can only mainly speak for the teen into adulthood years, but since…

What was supposed my magical, senior year apartment became more of a…

I had a good eight to ten years of internet free existence, and let me tell you, most days I want to hop into a time machine and transport myself back to the days when I wasn’t constantly overwhelmed with emails and Facebook messages or faced with the burden of having to think of carefully crafted tweets and witty Tumblr posts.
