Promise not to judge me? I used to have pretty strict views on dating. But give me a break: I was in leadership of a Christian student ministry and felt like I had to play the big bro. I wanted to protect the girls and [...]
So you're dating. Great. All those feels, am I right? Seriously though. Those feels. They make you crazy. Like actually: neurochemistry goes wack for a while when you're with a new person. For over a year sometimes. There are probably a million questions you should [...]
Marriage and dating -- when you're trying to figure out whether to marry or not -- are different entities, and need to be approached differently. Marriage. Some love it, some hate it. I'm convinced it's incredibly underrated, and I think statistics would agree with me. [...]

Despite my more anxious temperament, I've always been of the attitude that things would work out in the end. But something changed a few years ago. A darkness I had never known appeared and wouldn’t go away. Long seasons of sadness and exhaustion lingered. Things [...]
It’s probably my life’s greatest irony that I’m generally not good at sleeping (see my last name). I’m a light sleeper, sensitive to light and sound more than most people. I’m not unhappy that that’s the case (I’ll be the first to wake up in [...]
