I think my biggest regret is not; Not going to Stella Adler to study theater. Not going to culinary school to become a private chef. Not becoming a puppeteer when I had the opportunities. It was damaging the most important friendship of my life. I will forever grieve our friendship. You meant the world to… Continue reading

I think my teenage self would be confused to see 37 year old Theresa. Going by the name, Theresa. Remember when you had 100 nicknames because you had stickers on your face and blue hair? You were aimless but passionate. My inner world was holding on to my little girl mind so tightly. I didn’t… Continue reading

Why are cherries so sexy? Is it the taught fragile skin stretched around the supple deep red flesh. Is it the sweet juice you taste when you bite and snap the tender skin. Is it popping the entire cherry into your mouth and swirling it around on your tongue to spit out its pit. Maybe… Continue reading

I don’t love you any less. Things changed, I changed. The wind gust comes through with moisture from the rain. A kiss of fall on my morning, mourning face. I miss summer, I miss spring, but this is my favorite season. Right before fall. I think of going back to school, new pens and notebooks,… Continue reading

Solar eclipse today. Such a special and rare moment to experience with the entire world. Everyone worshipping, or ignoring. Not noticing. The light shifts and I think if anyone else notices like I do. Like how right after golden hour, the colors of life are so vibrant. Like life on film, a glow. I live… Continue reading

I am my own spotlight, I just would like to be celebrated the way I celebrate others. To be loved is to be known. People have their lives and are busy, I understand. I… Continue reading

Tuesday Recently we had dinner with family, they bought their first home together so we celebrated! It’s such a huge deal, especially with how expensive home buying is. Anyway, we got into discussions about amazon and netflix and how Paul&I cancelled it months ago, we don’t even think about it. I don’t miss it, I… Continue reading

I hosted my first book club this week. It was beautiful. Everyone was laughing and relaxing, eating. It was a tight fit, it worked out that not everyone could make it because my apartment isn’t big enough. I loved hearing everyone’s perspective and how much we all agreed about how bad the book was. It… Continue reading

Friday I take a shower and lay on my bed. No towel, air drying with the summer. Angel is here with me, her wagging tail brushes my belly, rolls, stretch marks, scars. She leans over to kiss my shin, whatever is near is good enough for her. Me in all my skin, she in hers.… Continue reading

I miss this version of myself from a long time ago. A long time ago, in a galaxy of my mind far far away. I was fun. I wasn’t so grated by life, relationships, my own thoughts. I always felt alone and that was fine then I guess. I can be really hot and cold,… Continue reading
