***I spent my days last week listening to spoken word poetry by Rupi Kaur. To my surprise, I was gifted her new book later in the week. Strange right? (Thank you Joanna). Synchronizing is what my therapist calls it. Enjoy this random spoken word poem. Kind of want to do an open mic night soon…
#198 things that made me feel
Moments that made me feel this week. My therapist and I tried a new form of therapy. We were actually just goofing around but it felt good. I told him how sometimes I like to sing about my problems in the car. Sometimes it’s the only way I can express myself. I’ve only sang about…
#196 a full bathtub
My best friend gifted me a bath bomb and I’ve never used one before. Believe it or not I don’t really like to take bathes because they take a lot of time and I’m usually on the run. A nice hot shower usually does it for me. Oh and I also hate how when I…

I wrote three different blogs for this week…
#182 Love by Judd Apatow
Judd Apatow, he has a unique last name like how I have a unique first name. “Love,” a series by Judd Apatow was introduced to me when I had the opportunity to visit the Sony Studies lot to meet Judd. I was working with Barry Katz at the time and he had set up an…
