A Bold Prediction Of A Decision Coming This Gemini Season
Gemini, oh Gemini, your season arrives this year with portents unimaginable. For so long, you have bounced like a child’s toy between identities, being whatever felt right in the moment.

Songwriting: the soundtrack to my life
You know what they say, what's bad for your heart is good for your art. For me, that’s always been true, and a silver lining of life’s tough experiences has been getting to take the pain and transform it into a story that other people can connect with and feel seen and heard within. I believe everyone has this gift, and that’s why art in all shapes and forms has an intangible value and quality to it that can’t be measured or put into words. Instead, it can only be felt.

Renounce THEM All
"Never forget who you are," said Mom. "How could I?" I groaned. And yet, during two very unrelated times in my life I had done just that- totally forgotten, no even forsaken, who I truly am and who my family is. And yet, I was never embarrassed, nor ashamed directly of my past or upbringing. It was so much weirder than that. On these separate occasions I had managed to build a lifestyle around a myth, the myth of my "Positionality." Yep, that was THE term as I had learned it in college. What it meant to me then and what it means to me another 20 years later, those are complicated stories, indeed.

Imposterism and Faking Adulthood
I began feeling like an imposter in my early teens. I never expressed it much or learned the term "imposter syndrome" until much later in life. Then it all began to make sense. As someone with diagnosed anxiety and depression, I constantly compared myself to others and wondered why I was achieving at the same level as them. One of the roots of imposter syndrome is failing to recognize one's own achievements.
