#SATurday: Writing in Shackles I recently found out I have early-onset carpal tunnel syndrome. I wasn’t even sure if that was a rare disorder for a female 23-year-old. Apparently, it is. I honestly don’t know much about it at all, but I am definitely learning. Being told I have to wear wrist splints for 6… Continue reading #SATurday: Writing in Shackles

#SATurday: The Scar of Childhood
The Scar of Childhood Mine is on the left side of my right leg, directly below the knee. I cannot describe the shape because it depends on the temperature of the day and what I was wearing.

#SATurday: Hurricanes and Mermaids
#SATurday: Hurricanes and Mermaids I’ve been spending a lot of time walking home in the dark and thinking about how many people would say, “That’s unsafe.” Of course, it is unsafe.
