"New Evan"

"New Evan"

Today I had my annual what-am-I-doing-with-my-life-and-is-this-a-good-life crisis. I don’t know the answer. But I do know I feel more proud of my life today then I did last December 31st. This wasn’t an easy year, but it was a good one.

twelve hours in Chicago (not kidding!)

This past weekend, my sister and one of our best friends drove to Chicago for our annual Christmas tradition. We arrived around noon, left around midnight, and it was absolutely as exhausting as it sounds.

What They're Thankful For and Other Questions

friendship is unnecessary

There are friendships that become so intertwined with your life that they become a defining feature of it. It’s not that losing this particular friend would make life less interesting; losing this particular friend would mean losing a part of life itself.

getaway car shoot

A lot of you are going to ROLL YOUR EYES SO HARD when you realize what this post is about but I don't care. "Getaway Car" is one of the best pop songs of the past few years - it turns any car into a getaway car! - and when my friend and I decided to attend the Reputation Tour stop in Kansas City, I knew I wanted to do something to commemorate it.

Erika Veurink's site is one of my favorite online spaces. Her observations are fresh and she never tries to emulate anyone else. She is who she is and her content reflects that.
