Who Am I Without These Ties to the Past?

And other questions that arose while deep cleaning my childhood bedroom at age 30 — While in Texas at the end of November I noticed my Google Drive was above 85% full, so I began a digital spring winter cleaning. I organized documents and files in My Drive, deleted all my old work emails from university, and whittled my 100+ Feedly subscriptions down to just…

Meeting the Three Letters That Would Dominate My 20s: IBS

It all began in high school. A bagel and cream cheese had been my Saturday breakfast routine for years, until one day freshman year when it really upset my stomach. This happened repeatedly, so my mom suggested I might be becoming lactose intolerant. I did some Googling, learned that it's…

A Curve Too Severe

Reflections on 12 years post-spinal fusion — “Smile on three: One, two— stop leaning Rebecca,” said my cousin. It was Homecoming of my freshman year in high school, and I was having my first of many pictures taken in my black dress. “I’m not leaning,” I replied. “Then why is your hip sticking out?” she asked. What…

The Unexpected Email from My Spanish TA on Easter

Your words matter, and you can use them today. — I never would have thought an email from a college Teaching Assistant (TA) would stick with me for nearly a decade. But one has, and remains memorable to this day. Nine Easters ago, in 2008, I was in the second semester of my freshman year at UW-Madison. College was a…
