November 27th, 2017 Dear sir/madam, I am writing this letter in response to the “Perfection is overrated” position. I saw the quotation, “the more perfect people appear to be, the more they’re probably suffering, beginning with you” and I feel my qualifications make me a great candidate for this position. The socially constructed perfection meter … Continue reading Letter of Imperfection

So I went out with some friends a couple of weeks ago… We dressed up, tried to look nice (flips hair), the whole nine yards!!

So I was cleaning up the other day – Aaaaand, by the other day I mean a few hours ago because #Saturday. I’ve been told that’s how “adulting” works.
