What I'm Listening to: My word of this year is pleasure. As I was perusing https://dreamymoons.com.au/ and shopping for my new year planner, I came across the Aphrodite journal. It got me thinking how disconnecting from my body I become when I’m anxious or unregulated. I can’t say I ever really learned to be connected to my body, with the repressed queer religious upbringing that we don’t have to get into today. It’s already expensive (but worth it) shipping these journals f

I think I was always destined to have a blog. My dad did website design for work essentially, and created a blog for his daughters to post pictures of their dog. Here is a glimpse into the quality content you would. have found on gingerilla/.com back in 2008. I think we would literally just go and post photos of Ginger, like that was really it. I guess I have always loved unnecessary over sharing on the internet. Riveting content. I know. I think if you told little Ken that I

I told myself I would give myself a year in austin to figure out what I wanted to do next. It was really hard to adjust at first. A lot of weird things happened to me, but I’m grateful to feel stabilized after the shake ups. I love my job, I love my house, I love my dog. Life is simple, but good.  Stream the new Hayley Williams album, that's all I've been listening to since it's release. I’ve been really grateful to be close to friends I’ve grown up with, and also closer to f

It's been a few years since I started this, and I feel overwhelmed by how much I have changed as a human. These entries hardly even crack the surface of stories and experiences I desire to share. I wanted to write a new about me page, similar to the ones on the first day of school to welcome in this new era of the blog where I find the fun in it again. booooo us but yaaaaay flowers ABOUT: KENDALL MORGAN My friends call me Ken, which makes me feel loved and known Libra, gemini

I have always had a very specific vision of what I want in a planner/journal. I want something that has space for collages and writing, as well having habit trackers and guided prompts. I was also hoping to find something that tracked the moon cycle, because a goal of my mindfulness journey is to become more in tune with the earth around me. A few months ago, I found a set of journals that fit exactly this vision. I was so excited when I received them. I showed them off to my

The move was a lot harder than I ever could have anticipated. These last few months have been cruel to me. More on that soon, but it all still feels too heavy and fresh to get into. My brain still feels so fragmented and scrambled from everything. I feel like Whiskey is waiting for me back in San Diego. I want to go back but I'm scared I won't find her. I would give anything to have my coffee on those steps again with her. Whiskey was my mindfulness coach, she kept me grounde

I don’t think this needs any other introduction.  Scream, grieve, mourn. Go no contact. The basics. Listen to sad music and watch sad movies and cry it out. Thrift a new outfit. I know y’all were sharing a closet and you’re gonna miss her old sweaters the most so you have to get a new grandpa sweater so it's like a cozy hug, without the memories. Make plans with friends on your typical date night. This is time for you to do the things you love with people you love. Take advan
