Happy New Year!! There's something magical about January, isn't there? Anything feels possible. I feel as if 2021 is going to be even more transformative than 2020 was, for everyone. But to truly begin anew, one has to leave the past in the past. And guess who popped back into my life a few weeks … Continue reading Day 435: The Ultimate Test

Hi, I'm Amber. Since I was 8 years old, I've loved writing, both as a creative practice and as a coping mechanism. With a pen in my hand, I feel most like myself. Maybe one day I'll be able to write for a living, but until then I will happily do it just for fun.
Day 365: Happy Anniversary
I promised I'd write again on the one-year-after-the-break-up anniversary, and I am a woman of my word, so here goes. We've officially come full circle. And I mean that in the most literal sense. I started dating my ex on October the 26th in 2017. We broke up October the 26th in 2019. And now … Continue reading Day 365: Happy Anniversary
Bonus post: App-roast-eation
Just for the fun of it, I decided to write an appreciation/roast post. How'd you like my pun? 😀 Because I thought it was hilarious. Anyways, this post is not meant to insult or, alternatively, to glorify. Its sole purpose is reflection. As miss Grande so wisely said: "Thank you, next." Appreciation Ex #1 Thank … Continue reading Bonus post: App-roast-eation
Day 243: I think it’s over
Could it be true? Dare I believe it? I think so. I am over him. Wow, that feels amazing to write. And boy, am I proud of myself for going through that gruesome process of a break-up. A few weeks ago I had an intense talk with a good friend of mine. At times she … Continue reading Day 243: I think it’s over
Day 194: Circles, squares and puzzle pieces
Well, we did it! We've hit the half year broken up mark! Yes, we. I feel like you're with me on this journey. Those of you I know and those I don't. Thanks for making it so far with me. We actually passed this little anniversary a while ago, but I still wanted to acknowledge … Continue reading Day 194: Circles, squares and puzzle pieces
Day 179: Standards
Recently one of my best friends and I did a High School Musical marathon. Great movies, probably because it's 90% nostalgia, but still. One thing I noticed for the first time in the second movie is what great standards Gabriella has. I know, it's High School Musical, but hear me out. At first when she … Continue reading Day 179: Standards
Day 157: More revelations
A few days ago I wrote my fifth letter for my ex. We've been broken up for 5 months now. As I was writing I noticed my tone was becoming slightly angry. It started off by irritation about how I'm still so trapped in not being able to forget him, but at a certain point … Continue reading Day 157: More revelations
Day 141: Dreams
So much has happened the past couple of weeks. I turned 24 three days ago! I moved into a studio which is completely my own and it's amazing. I had my last day at the clothing store I work at (they decided not to prolong my contract, the assholes). I had that talk about that … Continue reading Day 141: Dreams
Day 120: Still struggling
Long time no write. I guess I had to process what I wrote about in my last post. It impacted me more than I let on, and even admitted to myself. But I think I'm okay with it now. I even texted him again to ask if we could talk in person soon. I've been … Continue reading Day 120: Still struggling
Day 101: Boundaries
So last weekend I decided to be an idiot. Okay, I didn't actually decide to become one, I just let my inner idiot come out. And even that is not totally accurate, because making decisions requires a person to be present and I have to admit I wasn't fully lucid. Alright, I'll spit it out. … Continue reading Day 101: Boundaries
