“Everything I’ve ever let go of has claw marks on it” (Infinite Jest, DFW). That’s so me. No, seriously. That’s. so. me. As you can imagine, I engaged in a lot of reflection as the New Year approached. I spent a lot of time (and I mean a lot) feeling like what I had accomplished

Athens, Mykonos, Santorini If you are a loyal blog reader of mine, you’ll notice that I’ve rebranded a bit. I’m currently embracing the in-betweenness of my life, wondering what I am doing now and where I am going next. In an attempt to take on this somewhat intimidating feeling fiercely, I’m now writing under a

Anticipated by many, I present to you the final installment of Memoirs from Mangalore. __ The Final Four Days After returning from my two-week backpacking trip across North India (you can read about this in part 1 and part 2), I spent my last few days in India teetering between feeling an immense amount of joy

Brief “Author’s Note” Yes, after several weeks of silence on this blog, I’m back! Though, no fear. My absence is a result of having the most fulfilling couple of months ever. As the New Year started, I began the most exciting and rigorous phase of my research yet. Up until January, much of my work

One of my favorite experiences since being here in Mangalore has been attending my dance classes.
