How I did it
How to have a group of girlfriends
It took me
16 weeks
It made me
yay!

How I did it: It was my high school's senior trip to Six Flags New England and we sort of just fell into it. We don't really hang out all that often, but I do feel connected to those girls. Read how I did it…

How to be myself
It took me
18 years
It made me
pleased

How I did it: Everyone, everywhere, has ways of looking at everyone else. When you walk into a crowded room, people notice you. It feels like they're judging you, so you automatically take the attention away from your thighs, or your nose, or your stomach, or wherever else you're self concious about.God, it took me so long, but I finally was able to stop hiding things about myself by surrounding myself with people who encouraged me.

There's nothing better than flying down the side of a mountain, the wind at your face, knowing that you finally learned to do something you've always wanted to do. Read how I did it…

dance on stage again
I miss dancing 10 months ago

I miss dancing on stage. I want to give it another go so badly. I gave up because the instructer was a nasty witch and ruined my dreams. In retrospect, I shouldn’t have let her stop me, but I was an insecure young woman.

Go back to the jungle
Ecuador, 2005 10 months ago

My first impression of the jungle was a muddy, overgrown stinkpot. After a night spent wide awake, listening to the rustling of tree branches made by the birds, ants trecking through my hut, and getting tangled in mosquito netting, I fell in love with this area of the world. I’ve wanted to go back ever since I boarded that boat to leave.
