In 2011 I moved back to the Chicagoland area because I'd been admitted to grad school at DePaul. It took me 5 years an a liberal arts degree to realize that... Continue Reading →
In late 2018 my sister asked me if I wanted to be in the room when she gave birth to my nephew. I was excited to actually witness this in person and said hells yeah! She wasn't due until the end of February and so we were just chillin. She'd come to my house a... Continue Reading →
