Dear Lucia, Once again, the ocean separates us. I have spent the day today getting settled (and being depressed in bed) at my new apartment in Hamburg. I was pleasantly surprised yesterday when I arrived at how spacious it is- I am playing the same amount as my last apartment in Reykjavik but it is…… Continue reading Hallo aus Deutschland!

The art of being good
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. It’s a hard thing to admit, an addiction, something that…… Continue reading The art of being good
The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window: a non-comprehensive review
Dear Lucia, I hope you’re in for a wild ride. I wasn’t ready when I started this show, but now that I’ve finished it, I feel the need to mull over it with you.

Going through the motions
Dear Alex, It’s always hard to pack for a trip. Let’s start there. This weekend was a whirlwind of getting organized, trying desperately to get my shit together, and yet trying all the same to also move forward. We set out in a journey in a couple of days, and I am truly looking forward…… Continue reading Going through the motions
A Literal Hole in the Wall: Visiting Smith and Feelings of Anti-Resolution
Hi Lucia, You’re literally sitting next to me while I type this, so that’s a fun change of pace form our usual hundreds of miles apart. (Fuck you type so fast? I knew this from thesis writing but I think you’ve gotten faster cause now you even out-pace me!) We are in Josten Library. The…… Continue reading A Literal Hole in the Wall: Visiting Smith and Feelings of Anti-Resolution
The Confusing Reality of Adulthood
So originally I was gonna write about the history of Valentines Day (happy Valentines Day) but I ended up getting sucked into my finances and future plans. One of the best things about being back in the states is being able to spend time with my cat. My parents have monopolized on this by using…… Continue reading The Confusing Reality of Adulthood
Homesickness: And yet, they grow old too.
Dear Lucia, How’s it going, my man? Miss you as always. In fact, missing people is the whole point of this bletter.

To start of…… Continue reading Homesickness: And yet, they grow old too.

Dear Lucia, I hope this bletter finds you well. I miss you bunches. As you know, I have been struggling with my mental health a lot recently. I know I write about it frequently, and I sincerely hope it doesn’t bore you. This past week has consisted of me designing and putting to the test…… Continue reading Green Clay Beneath my Nails: Creating an Outpatient Program
A Post With No Point.
Dear Lucia, I am currently on break from work. I get an hour and a half of paid break a day- one hour of lunch and one hour for a coffee later on. You know Icelanders and their coffee. I usually take my first hour at 13-14 for lunch, go home since I live close,…… Continue reading A Post With No Point.
A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes: Twisting Perspectives in the Prequel to The Hunger Games Trilogy
Dear Lucia, Recently I was in a bit of a reading rut and couldn’t bring myself to enter a whole new world, but at the same time I didn’t want to read a story I had previously read. This lead me to read Susan Collins’ “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.” This book is a…… Continue reading A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes: Twisting Perspectives in the Prequel to The Hunger Games Trilogy
