I Am Confident.
Have you ever felt like you weren’t smart enough, pretty enough, or creative enough to get ahead in life?
I have these doubts everyday. I let them get in my way. I let them stop me from writing – no one could possibly be interested in what I have to say, right? There are so many bloggers, vloggers, et cetera who have thousands of followers and even more views each day.* The only thing standing in my way of joining their ranks is the doubt that I could. read more…
Out and About | The Game Awards
I got a text yesterday from the lovely Raychul Moore:
Suuuper last minute, but what are your plans today?
And so, a few texts later, the plans were set for us to venture to LA Live to attend The Game Awards last night.
I love a bit of spontaneity in the morning. read more…
Rabbit Rabbit | Happy December!
Our tree is up. It’s officially December. I no longer feel guilty about the minimal decorations we’d had up for the last week of November (we had broken my strict rule of no Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving/my birthday, and I had scurried around them, defying their cheer), and now the holiday tunes are in full swing throughout the house. If you’re an Apple Music subscriber, you can listen along with us: read more…
Thoughtful Thursday: Carefree
My Instagram description used to include “carefree.” My husband, knowing me all too well, smirked and said, “You? Carefree? No way.”
At first, it stung. I can be carefree! I can be happy-go-lucky! But honestly, he’s right. At my core, I’m not. And when it comes down to it, I’m okay with that. read more…
Thoughtful Thursday: Stronger Together
I woke up on November 9th with a red brick on my blue chest. read more…
Rabbit Rabbit: Happy November!
Rabbit rabbit! Let my favorite month of the year begin.
While I was driving home from a long day in Pasadena on Sunday night, I was surrounded – engulfed, even – by an autumn storm. Those are rare around here; rain of any kind is the exception to the rule in Los Angeles. I saw the beauty in the chaos, ever aware of the slick pavement accompanied by long-awaited rain. As I drove, a few poetic lines (if I may say so myself) swam around in my head: read more…
Thoughtful Thursday: Weddings and Anniversaries
When Sohrab and I chose October 3rd as our wedding date (never mind that it was originally going to be September 12), we didn’t realize that we had chosen perhaps one of the most popular months to get married in. We joined the ranks of a significant number of friends that celebrate October anniversaries, from our best friends Wes and Jen Massoll (est. 2014), to [most recently] my sister and her husband, who now go by Joshua and Salia Garcia as of this past Saturday. read more…
Rabbit Rabbit: Happy October!
Rabbit rabbit! In my family, this is shouted across the hall (or through text, now) at the beginning of every month. It’s meant to be a good luck charm to say it upon waking on the first of the month – but, naturally, as Wilsons do, it has become somewhat of a competition amongst us. My dad “won” this month, with a simple text to all of us: read more…
Thoughtful Thursday: Live Together Die Alone
Last Thursday was the 12 year anniversary of the premiere of LOST. The beginning of an era. I didn’t realize it at the time, but this was a show that would change my life, even shape my relationship. I didn’t start watching it until the fall semester of my junior year in college. 2009. I watched it alone in my dorm room, thousands of miles from my binge partner – Sohrab. We had been dating mere months at the time, and I’d call him screaming about something in a language that resembled English. We bonded over LOST. I finished 5 seasons in one semester of school, just in time to watch season 6 live; each episode coming out an excruciating week after the last. Somehow, in amongst the tears and cheddar popcorn, I passed all of my classes that year. read more…
Typewriter Tuesday: The Collector
Hi! My name is Allegra, and I am addicted to writing. In fact, I’m a sucker for anything I can use to write – with a keyboard or without. I find that being unable to write at will makes life more difficult for me. I can’t keep my thoughts bottled up inside, ticking like a time bomb. I have to get it out – shaking the poetry out of my pen at 3 am, clacking on a typewriter at sunset, or typing away on a blog post (ahem… this one) at a Starbucks in the valley. read more…
Hi! We’re Sohrab and Allegra – join us as we geek out, travel the world, and explore our own backyard: Los Angeles!
