Invisible Transactions
My husband, Ryan, lost his job about a year ago, and after looking for several months, took to gig work. DoorDash, Instacart, UberEats, Spark, Shipt, and Amazon Flex.

A Sliver of Hope
Last Sunday, I lost something irreplaceable. Every Sunday morning, I put on the same four rings: my wedding ring, a pinkie ring my cute little redheaded sister gave me, Kat’s ring, and a thumb ring. I rather like to think that I’m taking Diane and Kat to church with me. Trust me, I know how silly that sounds.

Entry #7 or Life?
Before we start, can we acknowledge how much you, reader, and I, Dani, both want to smack Dani across the face for pumping out these dramatic, wannabe groundbreaking, and highly clickbaity titles? It's nothing more than Dani's little lost teenage self stuck inside her aging body, finally and painfully exerting her creativity.

The Things That Creep Me Out . Top Story - October 2026.
Honestly, there isn’t a whole lot that creeps me out. I can hold most bugs in my hand as long as no stingers or pinchers, observing them with curiosity. No problem. Snakes, (the harmless ones of course!) don’t really bother me either. I’m more fascinated by them than anything. Most spiders don’t phase me either. Isn’t their web spinning and craftsmanship fascinating by the way?

Entry #6 or WhatsApp Stickers
I work with this lady who receives notifications on her phone about every 10 minutes. And every 10 minutes or so, my whole desk vibrates.

Notes from the Mind Palace.
Listen to Cheated Hearts. by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. There is a specific, sickening frequency to being done dirty by someone you trusted. It isn’t just a simple disagreement; it is a profound violation that completely rewrites the reality of the space you inhabit.

Red Flag Rage
Red Flags lay over the front yard; not sure as to why. The air was still. It welcomed me in with a blank smile. I shrugged it off as I met my mother, who raised me from afar for the first time. She was WARM and BRIGHT. She welcomed me into her arms, just like a long-lost daughter. I had found where I was supposed to be, maybe finding myself for the first time in years. Someone who treated me like her own, though she'd never met me before. She always called me daughter regardless.
