WELCOME TO MOONJELLY

You know what's not cool? When you watch a scary movie, and you think you're fine going to sleep-- you think you're not too spooked in the darkness-- so you fall asleep, but then in the middle of the night, your cat launches off of your tummy and runs away. You think you've been whacked by a demon. You think you're being attacked and the air rushes out of your lungs. You realize, no, it was just the cat, jumping off you for whatever reason (probably she saw a ghost), so you t

It sucks when another girl says that she likes avocado a lot. You sigh, because you know you have to fight her now. You throw your purse on the ground and square up. You say, "No, I like avocado a lot. In fact, I LOVE IT." And she says, "What are you doing? I love avocado too. I was just saying how much I live for it." And you put your fists up.

It gives me so much satisfaction to know that she needs me for comfort. Usually, she's just like, "Yea, whatever, momi. Why don't

What if I do a 23 and Me DNA kit, and my results come back saying that I'm NOT 40% Mermaid (Broadly Oceanic)? If that happens, Imma be real pissed. I might have a crisis. I might rage drink a whole lot of boba. That's all for today, folks. -j

I went to a yoga class once while on vacation with my family in the Philippines. My aunt went to yoga regularly, and she wanted us to come with her. So my mom, my younger brother, and I attended the class. I didn't have anything to wear, so I wore my sleep shorts. My brother wore jeans. It was a quiet, moody class in a quiet, moody room. It wasn't bright or energetic. It was calm and serene. I always thought of yoga as boring dance class. The poses were simple enough for me,
