Pocket Girl Podcast: Crazy Lonely

by Leave a Comment

There’s more than one way to feel alone. It’s not just about being the only one in a room. Vapid, life sucking relationships and friendships don’t count as real human connection.

Pocket Girl Podcast: #SYA

by Leave a Comment

There’s some shit so egregious happening right now…which has eclipsed the fear of speaking up. I found this to be true, time and time again throughout my life, that it’s only when the pain of not saying anything surpasses the fear of doing so, that I can.

Pocket Girl Podcast: Match.con

by Leave a Comment

I’ve spent way too long trying to morph myself into someone I wasn’t, so other people would like me. Litany of passive aggressive disasters behind me, I vowed to do the only thing I can and ever truly do well; be myself. But as it turns out, a lot of people, most in fact, don’t resonate with that. I suppose I should look at this with a positive attitude. It does indeed save me a lot of time going out with dudes with whom it would never work anyway.
