That’s Why I’m So Weird!

A moment of depression led to a realization about myself that reframes my perspective on myself, both looking back and toward the future. What was it I said?

Recovering My Happily Ever After

When I was eighteen I wrote a self-insert Beauty and the Beast retelling with the premise, “What if the prince had accepted the enchantress’s rose? And what if they were true loves?” (And I gender-swapped them.) I felt I was a hopeless romantic, and at that age I was starting to feel like the world … Continue reading Recovering My Happily Ever After
