ShareTweetI have changed a lot in the past three years. When I was fifteen, I looked at anyone who stayed in their hometown for college as lazy, or thought they would never go anywhere. I told myself I would be a failure to stay in Greensboro for college. I had dreams of going to art

ShareTweetI’m here, Greensboro.  I’m finally here. I told the Avant Greensboro people that I wanted to write an advice column for the site two months ago. I gave my friend Reba some advice about a fellow she was dating, and she said I should have an advice column. I told her I agreed.  I should.

ShareTweetI got out of a three and a half year relationship not too long ago, right about the time that the holiday decorations were going up and everyone was greeting each other with a cheerful “Hello!”  Suffice it to say this was one of the worst Christmases that I have ever had.  I am not

ShareTweetOn the Tracks Again The train rides, aside from the gorgeous Americana out the window, have been generally quite dull.
