I love: My Midwestern college town, literary fiction, country music, liberal politics, feeding people, high-brow TV, hearing Spanish, watching sports, and outdoor adventures.
Will I ever stop calling them tweets?

I keep seeing TikToks of girls getting their Hinge dates to help them with their house projects and I'm proud to say it happened to me: A man helped me fix my garage door opener after a second date.

My most conservative opinion is that football is good, actually.
This tweet is brought to you by the absolute propaganda that is Any Given Saturday on Netflix.
They don’t even feature Mizzou but I’m so pumped for the season.

Everyone says dating in 2025 sucks, but a 6'2" man just made me a very good playlist for my morning called "por vousss" (for you in French), so you know. It's not all bad.
It's probably not love, but it's not NOT fun.

I love trying to lose weight because I work out super hard and track all my macros and lose 5 pounds in roughly one year and then spend one week not doing that and dare to eat like a slice of cake and some pizza and surprise!!!! It’s back!!!

I kinda feel like journaling in a coffee shop for a while before my next thing, but I just finished a journal...and I can't exactly start a new journal in a public place...like how embarrassing.
"Oh, she's a REAL BIG journaler - day 1, here she goes!!" 🤣

If I’m gonna be going through a colossal breakup right now, the least my therapist could do is come back from her months-long leave of absence.

The change in time signature from 4/4 to 3/4 combined with a badass chord progression is the reason the pre chorus in Goodbye Earl by the Chicks is soooooo satisfying to sing.

I fear the Turnpike Troubadours will never be able to top their 2017 album A Long Way From Your Heart. Is this what getting older feels like? You keep a running list of things past their prime??

It’s my goal in 2025 to be cringe, but free.
