Dear Alex, Recently I was sitting in the car with a friend and my eyes were in so much pain, and I knew it was because I’ve been starring at my phone for hours on end that day, but I didn’t want to admit it.

Making friends off of the playground (feelings – sorry)
Dear Alex, It’s been a confusing past number of months. As you know I started a job, and it’s been a rollercoaster of emotions every other day.

DC, spring in full colors, and healing with friends
Dear Alex, Last weekend I went to DC to visit a friend. I hadn’t realized how long it had been since I had last saw them, and when we actually saw each other in person it felt like no time passed at all, but it was weird realizing that people grow in different ways and…… Continue reading DC, spring in full colors, and healing with friends
Updates from a Rainy Weekend
Dear Alex, Some days I miss Iceland terribly, and on others I think about how rainy and dreary it can be, and then you make a post with all the sunshine in the world and the beautiful nature that feels untouched and yet accessible in all the weird and funky ways that only Iceland can…… Continue reading Updates from a Rainy Weekend
Finding Tranquility in the Ocean
Dear there’s not enough art museums in Iceland so here’s NYC, Going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is like entering one of those old candy stores where you can chose your poison by the fistfuls and only at the end understand the damage you’ve brought upon yourself.
