An Open Letter To My Nephew

You were born a month ago, and I already can't imagine life without you.

An Open Letter To My Nephew

First off, let me say that you are loved more than you know. From the moment I received the call letting me know that you were coming into this big crazy world, I knew you would be something special. Driving two hours in the middle of the night was worth every second once I laid eyes on your chubby little face and dark brown hair. You stole a piece of my heart as soon as you opened your precious little eyes to look at me. I know that I am not your mom, and that I never will be but I get to be the next best thing in your life: your aunt.

I promise that as you grow older, I'll always be right there whenever you need me, and even when you don't. I promise to take an abundant amount of photos of you, especially when you start school. I promise to read you books, and help you with homework. I promise to support you in whatever you decide to participate in, whether that be swim team, little league, or science fairs. I promise to be someone you can talk to when things get hard. I promise to be a cool aunt who will embarrass you in front of your friends, if necessary. I promise to be fun and take your side when your parents are bugging you to clean your room. I promise to spoil you rotten and love you as if you were my own.

This past month with you as flown by, making me realize that time is precious and you will be grown before I know. But please try not to grow up too fast. The world is not ready for everything you have to offer, which I know will be nothing short of greatness. I can also guarantee you that I am not ready to let you grow up just yet, so lets take this first year slow, let me hold you for as long as possible, and eventually you can start crawling after that.

Love,

Your Favorite Aunt

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
