Dear Angry Barista, Almost every morning I walk to my favorite coffee shop. The important voyage begins when I leave my house in lethargic zombie style, dragging one foot after the other. I cross intersection after intersection, block after block watching the tiny blimp that gives me life grow larger in the distance. I’ve almost… Continue reading Depresso.

Dear Adulting, Why do you think you’re so good? You think you’re so superior to immaturity and ignorance. You always find a way to get my parents to side with you. It must be the pushy and “highly experienced” thing you have going on. I bet you spend your precious days, sitting in your aerodynamic chair… Continue reading May you stay forever young.
